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

To use the ensurelink function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you will need to install the @types/fs-extra package as a development dependency in your project.

Once that is done, you can import the ensurelink function from the fs-extra package like this:

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

2 lines

Then, you can use the ensureLink function to create a symbolic link from one file to another, while ensuring that any directories along the path to the link are also created if necessary. Here is an example:

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

async function createLink() {
  try {
    await ensureLink('path/to/source/file', 'path/to/destination/link');
    console.log('Symbolic link created successfully');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

createLink();

13 lines

This will create a symbolic link from path/to/source/file to path/to/destination/link, while ensuring that any directories along the path to the link are first created if they do not already exist.
