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

You can use the mkdtempsync function from the fs-extra library by following these steps:

  1. Install fs-extra by running npm install fs-extra in your project directory.

  2. Import the fs-extra library in your TypeScript file as follows:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs-extra';
32 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the mkdtempsync function to create a temporary directory synchronously. Here's an example:
index.ts
const dir = fs.mkdtempSync('/tmp/myapp-');
console.log(`Created temporary directory: ${dir}`);
95 chars
3 lines

In this example, the mkdtempsync function creates a temporary directory inside the /tmp directory with a prefix of myapp-. The function returns the path of the created directory.

Note that the mkdtempsync function is a synchronous function, which means that it will block the Node.js event loop until the directory is created. If you want to create a temporary directory asynchronously, you can use the mkdtemp function instead.
