find the creation date of a json file in typescript

You can use the file system (fs) module in Node.js to get the creation date of a JSON file. Here's an example code snippet:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs';

const filePath = 'path/to/your/file.json';

// Get file stats
const stats = fs.statSync(filePath);

// Get creation date
const creationDate = stats.birthtime;

console.log(`File created on: ${creationDate}`);
236 chars
12 lines

In the above code, we first import the fs module. Then, we define the path to our JSON file. We use the statSync method to get the stats of the file, which includes the creation date (stored in the birthtime property). Finally, we log the creation date to the console.

Note that the birthtime property is platform-dependent and may not be available on all operating systems. In such cases, you can use the ctime or mtime properties instead.
