64 chars
3 lines
  1. Use the fstatsync function to get the stats of a file:
index.ts
const file_path = '/path/to/your/file.txt';

try {
  const file_stats = fs_extra.fstatSync(fs.openSync(file_path, 'r'));
  console.log(file_stats);
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

9 lines

Note that we first use fs.openSync to open the file and get its file descriptor, then we pass it to fs_extra.fstatsync to get the file stats. We wrap this code in a try-catch block to handle errors.

This code should output the file stats of your file in the console.
