how to use the createsymlinksync function from fs-extra in javascript

fs-extra is a Node.js library that enhances the fs module with many useful functions, such as createsymlinksync.

The createsymlinksync function allows you to create a symbolic link synchronously.

Here's an example of how to use createsymlinksync:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');

const srcPath = '/path/to/my/source/file';
const destPath = '/path/to/my/symlink';

fs.ensureFileSync(srcPath); // ensure the source file exists
fs.removeSync(destPath); // remove any existing symlink at the destination path
fs.createSymlinkSync(srcPath, destPath, 'file'); // create the symlink

console.log('Symbolic link created successfully');

In this example, we first define the source and destination paths. We then use fs-extra to ensure that the source file exists at the source path, and remove any existing symlink at the destination path.

Finally, we call the createsymlinksync function with the source and destination paths, as well as an optional type parameter. In this case, we specify file as the type.

That's it! The symbolic link will be created at the destination path.
