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

You can use the move function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript by following these steps:

  1. Install the fs-extra library using npm or yarn:

2 lines
  1. Import the promises object from the fs-extra library at the top of your TypeScript file:
index.ts
import { promises as fs } from 'fs-extra';
43 chars
2 lines
  1. Use the move function to move a file or directory from one location to another. The move function takes two arguments: the path of the source file or directory, and the path of the destination file or directory. Here's an example that moves a file named example.txt from the src directory to the dest directory:
index.ts
async function moveFile() {
  try {
    await fs.move('src/example.txt', 'dest/example.txt');
    console.log('File moved successfully!');
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

Note that the move function returns a Promise, so it needs to be invoked asynchronously using the await keyword inside an async function.

That's it! You can now use the move function from the fs-extra library to move files and directories in your TypeScript project.
