To use the lutimesSync function from the fs-extra package in javascript, follow these steps:

2 lines
  1. Import the fs-extra package into your javascript file as follows:
index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');
32 chars
2 lines
  1. Call the lutimesSync function on a file to update its access and modification times. The function takes three arguments:
  • path: A string representing the path to the file whose times you want to update.
  • atime: A Date object representing the new access time of the file.
  • mtime: A Date object representing the new modification time of the file.
index.tsx
const now = new Date();
fs.lutimesSync('/path/to/file', now, now);
67 chars
3 lines

This will update the access and modification times of the file at /path/to/file to the current time.

Note that the lutimesSync function is synchronous and will block the main thread until it completes. If you need to update the times of multiple files asynchronously, consider using the lutimes function instead.
