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

To use the mkdirs function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you first need to ensure that the library is installed as a dependency in your package.json file:

npm install --save fs-extra

2 lines

Once you have installed fs-extra, you can import the library and use the mkdirs function like this:

index.ts
import * as fs from "fs-extra";

const directoryPath = "/my/new/directory/path";

// Create the directory if it does not already exist
if (!fs.existsSync(directoryPath)) {
  fs.mkdirsSync(directoryPath);
}

The mkdirs function can create directories recursively, meaning it will create all the parent directories if they do not already exist.

The example above shows how to use the synchronous version of mkdirs. However, fs-extra also provides an asynchronous version of the function (mkdirs), as well as a Promise-wrapped version of both (mkdirs and mkdirsPromise). You can use them like this:

index.ts
import * as fs from "fs-extra";

const directoryPath = "/my/new/directory/path";

fs.mkdirs(directoryPath)
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Directory created successfully");
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error("An error occurred while creating the directory:", err);
  });

With these examples, you should be able to use fs-extra to create directories in a TypeScript project.
