To use the createsymlinksync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, first you need to install the fs-extra library by running the following command:
index.ts21 chars2 lines
After successfully installing the fs-extra library, you can import the createsymlinkSync function in your TypeScript file as follows:
index.ts46 chars2 lines
Now, you can use the createsymlinkSync function in your TypeScript code to create a symbolic link synchronously. The signature of the createsymlinkSync function is as follows:
index.ts74 chars2 lines
Here, the srcpath parameter is the path to the file or directory that you want to create a symbolic link for, the dstpath parameter is the path to the symbolic link that you want to create, and the type parameter is an optional string that specifies whether the symbolic link should be a file or directory. The possible values for the type parameter are 'file' and 'dir'.
Here's an example of how to use the createsymlinkSync function to create a symbolic link to a file:
index.ts178 chars7 lines
In this example, a symbolic link named link.txt will be created in the /path/to/destination directory that points to the file at /path/to/source/file.txt. If you want the symbolic link to be a directory instead of a file, you can pass the 'dir' value as the type parameter:
index.ts180 chars7 lines
In this example, a symbolic link named link-dir will be created in the /path/to/destination directory that points to the directory at /path/to/source/dir.
