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

To use the writeSync function from the fs-extra module in JavaScript, you first need to install the module by running the following command in your terminal:

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

Once you have the module installed, you can use the writeSync function to write data to a file synchronously. The writeSync function takes two arguments:

  1. The file path, as a string.
  2. The data to write to the file, as a string or buffer.

Here's an example of how you can use the writeSync function:

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

const filePath = './example.txt';
const data = 'This is some example text';

try {
  fs.writeFileSync(filePath, data);
  console.log('Data written to file');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}
231 chars
12 lines

In this example, we are using the writeFileSync function to write the string This is some example text to a file located at ./example.txt. The writeFileSync function is synchronous, so it will block the execution of any further code until the file has been written.

If an error occurs while writing the file, the writeFileSync function will throw an error object, which we catch in a try-catch block in the example above.
