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

To use the ensureDir function from the fs-extra library in typescript, you first need to install the library and the types for Node.js:

Then, you can import the library and use the ensureDir function as follows:

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

async function createDirectory(dirPath: string): Promise<void> {
  try {
    await ensureDir(dirPath);
    console.log(`Directory ${dirPath} created successfully`);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(`Error creating directory ${dirPath}: ${err.message}`);
  }
}

The ensureDir function creates a directory and any missing parent directories recursively, if they do not already exist. It returns a Promise that resolves when the directory is created, and rejects with an error if there was a problem creating the directory.

In the above example, the createDirectory function takes a directory path as an argument, and uses ensureDir to create the directory if it does not already exist. If there is an error creating the directory, it logs an error message to the console.
