3. Call the symlinkSync function with the source and destination paths as arguments. This will create a symbolic link from the source path to the destination path, synchronously.

   index.tsx
   const srcPath = '/path/to/source';
   const destPath = '/path/to/destination';
   
   fse.symlinkSync(srcPath, destPath);

   5 lines

   Note that if the destination path already exists, the symlinkSync function will throw an error. You can use the fs-extra package's removeSync function to remove the existing destination before creating the symbolic link:

   index.tsx
   // Remove existing destination before creating symbolic link
   fse.removeSync(destPath);
   fse.symlinkSync(srcPath, destPath);
