Once we have installed the module, we can use the statsync function to get the file stats synchronously by passing in the file path as the parameter.

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

try {
  const stats = fs.statSync('/path/to/file');
  console.log(stats);
} catch (err) {
  console.log(err);
}

The statsync function will return an object containing information about the specified file or directory. If the file or directory does not exist, it will result in an error.

Note that statsync is a synchronous function, so it will block the execution of the code until the file stats are retrieved. If you want to perform the operation asynchronously, you can use the stat function provided by fs-extra module which returns a Promise.
