Once you've installed the fs-extra library, you can use the rename function in your Node.js application. The rename function is an asynchronous function that takes two arguments:

  • oldPath: the old path of the file or directory that you want to rename
  • newPath: the new path of the file or directory that you want to rename

Here's an example code snippet that shows how you can use the fs-extra library to rename a file asynchronously:

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

// old path of the file that you want to rename
const oldPath = 'path/to/old-file.txt';

// new path of the file that you want to rename
const newPath = 'path/to/new-file.txt';

// async function to rename the file
async function renameFile() {
  try {
    await fs.rename(oldPath, newPath);
    console.log('File renamed successfully!');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

// call the renameFile function
renameFile();

Note that the rename function is an asynchronous function, so you need to use await when calling the function.
