Once you have installed the package, you can use the ensureSymlinkSync function to create a symbolic link.

Here's an example code that shows how to use ensureSymlinkSync function:

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

// Source file path
const src = '/path/to/source/file';

// Destination file path
const dest = '/path/to/destination/file';

// Create a symbolic link
fs.ensureSymlinkSync(src, dest);

11 lines

The ensureSymlinkSync function takes two arguments:

• src: The source file path.
• dest: The destination file path.

This function creates a symbolic link at the dest path that points to the src path. If the symbolic link already exists, it will be overwritten by the new link.

Note that this function is synchronous, so it will block other code execution until the link is created.
