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

Once you have fs-extra installed, you can import the createsymlink function from the fs-extra module in your TypeScript file and use it as follows:

index.ts
import * as fse from 'fs-extra';

async function createSymLink() {
  try {
    // create a symlink from source to destination
    await fse.createSymlink('/path/to/source', '/path/to/destination', 'dir');
    console.log('Symbolic link created successfully.');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error creating symbolic link: ', error);
  }
}

In this example, the createsymlink function takes three arguments: the source path, the destination path, and the type of symlink ('file' or 'dir'). The function returns a Promise that resolves when the symlink has been created successfully.

Note that the createsymlink function is an asynchronous function and you need to use the await keyword or .then() method to wait for the promise to resolve. Also, make sure to handle any errors that may occur during the symlink creation process.
