3. Use the readdirSync function to read the contents of a directory synchronously. The function takes one parameter, the path to the directory you want to read:

index.tsx
try {
  const files = fs.readdirSync('/path/to/directory');
  console.log(files); // prints an array of files and directories in the specified directory
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

Note: It's generally recommended to use asynchronous versions of file system functions instead of synchronous versions to prevent blocking the event loop. However, if you are working on a script or command-line tool, using synchronous versions can be an acceptable approach.
