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

To use the mkdirSync function from fs-extra module in Node.js, you can follow the below steps:

  1. First you need to install the fs-extra module as a dependency in your project. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

    index.tsx
    npm install fs-extra
    
    21 chars
    2 lines
  2. After installing the module, you can use the mkdirSync function from the fs-extra module by requiring it in your module like this:

    index.tsx
    const fs = require('fs-extra');
    
    32 chars
    2 lines
  3. Once you have required the module, you can use the mkdirSync function by passing it a string representing the path of the directory you want to create. For example, the following code will create a directory named 'myFolder' in the current working directory:

    index.tsx
    const fs = require('fs-extra');
    fs.mkdirSync('myFolder');
    
    58 chars
    3 lines

    Note: If the directory already exists or if there is a file with the same name as the directory, an error will be thrown.

  4. You can also pass an optional options object to the mkdirSync function to specify additional options, such as the permissions of the directory. For example, the following code will create a directory with read and write permissions for the owner:

    index.tsx
    const fs = require('fs-extra');
    fs.mkdirSync('myFolder', { mode: 0o600 });
    
    75 chars
    3 lines

    This will create the directory with the octal permission value 0o600 (equivalent to 384 in decimal).

  5. Finally, you can handle any errors that may occur during the directory creation process by wrapping the mkdirSync function call in a try-catch block, like this:

    index.tsx
    const fs = require('fs-extra');
    try {
      fs.mkdirSync('myFolder');
      console.log('Directory created successfully');
    } catch (err) {
      console.error(err);
    }
    
    155 chars
    8 lines

    This will catch any errors and log them to the console, allowing you to handle them appropriately in your code.
