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

fs-extra is a file system module that provides additional functionality to the built-in fs module in Node.js. It includes the toLocaleString() function, which formats dates according to the given locale.

Here is an example of how to use toLocaleString() function from the fs-extra module:

const fs = require('fs-extra');

const fileStats = await fs.stat('/path/to/file.txt');
const modifiedDate = fileStats.mtime.toLocaleString('en-US', { timeZone: 'UTC' });

console.log(`Last modified date: ${modifiedDate}`);
223 chars
7 lines

In the above example, fs.stat is used to get the statistics of the file located at /path/to/file.txt. The mtime property of fileStats contains the date and time when the file was last modified. The toLocaleString() function is then called on mtime to format the date according to the en-US locale and UTC timezone.

The options object passed as the second argument to toLocaleString() can be used to customize the formatting of the date. The available options are documented in the Node.js documentation.

Note that the toLocaleString() function may not be available in all environments, such as some browsers. In those cases, you can use a third-party library like Moment.js to format dates.
