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

The fs-extra package is an extension to the Node.js built-in fs module, which provides additional functionality to work with file system including the link function.

Here's an example on how to use the link function:

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

// Source and destination file paths
const srcPath = '/path/to/source/file';
const destPath = '/path/to/destination/file';

// Creating a hard link
fse.link(srcPath, destPath, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('File was successfully linked');
  }
});

In the above code, we require the fs-extra package and define the file paths of the source and destination files. Then we use the link function with the source path, destination path, and a callback function to handle any errors that may occur. If there are no errors, we print a success message.

Note that the link function can be used to create a hard link or symbolic link based on the file system.
