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

To use the unlink function from fs-extra in JavaScript, you first need to install the fs-extra package. You can do this by running the following command using a package manager like npm:

index.tsx
npm install fs-extra
21 chars
2 lines

After installing the package, you can import the fs-extra module in your JavaScript file using the following code:

index.tsx
const fs = require('fs-extra');
32 chars
2 lines

Once you have imported the fs-extra module, you can use the unlink function to delete a file by passing the file path as a parameter. Here is an example:

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

fs.unlink('/file/path/here', (err) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  console.log('File deleted successfully!');
});

7 lines

In this example, the unlink function is used to delete a file at the specified path. If an error occurs during the deletion process, the function will throw an error. Otherwise, it will print a success message to the console.

Note that the unlink function deletes files asynchronously. If you need to delete files synchronously, you can use the unlinkSync function instead.
