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

To use the mkdir function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you first need to install the library by running the following command:

index.ts
npm install fs-extra --save

2 lines

Then, in your TypeScript file, import the fs-extra library like this:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs-extra';
32 chars
2 lines

Now you can use the mkdir function provided by the library to create a new directory. Here's an example:

index.ts
fs.mkdir('/path/to/new/directory').then(() => {
  console.log('Directory created successfully!');
}).catch((err) => {
  console.error(err);
});

6 lines

This will create a new directory at the specified path. The mkdir function returns a Promise that resolves when the directory is successfully created, or rejects with an error if the creation fails. You can use .then() and .catch() to handle these cases, respectively.

Note that if the parent directories for the new directory do not exist, you can use the mkdirs function instead of mkdir to create all necessary parent directories. Here's an example:

index.ts
fs.mkdir('/path/to/new/directory', { recursive: true }).then(() => {
  console.log('Directory created successfully!');
}).catch((err) => {
  console.error(err);
});

The { recursive: true } option tells the mkdir function to create all necessary parent directories if they don't already exist.
