how to use the createlinksync function from the fs-extra library in typescript

To use the createLinkSync() function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you have to first install the library via npm. You can then import the function into your TypeScript file, and use it to create a symbolic link synchronously.

Here's an example:

index.ts
import { createLinkSync } from 'fs-extra';

const target = '/path/to/target';   // The path to the file or directory you want to link to
const link = '/path/to/link';       // The path where you want to create the link

try {
  createLinkSync(target, link);
  console.log(`Successfully created symlink from ${link} to ${target}`);
} catch (err) {
  console.error(`Error creating symlink: ${err.message}`);
}

12 lines

Note that the createLinkSync() function will throw an error if the link already exists, or if it is unable to create the link for any other reason. You can catch this error and handle it appropriately in your code.
