Once installed, you can import the opendirsync function from the library and use it in your TypeScript code as shown below:

index.ts
import { opendirSync } from 'fs-extra';

try {
  const dir = opendirSync('/path/to/directory');
  for await (const dirent of dir) {
    console.log(dirent.name);
  }
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

11 lines

In the above example, opendirSync function is used to open the directory at the specified path. The resulting dir object is then iterated over using a for-await-of loop to read each file and directory in the directory. If an error occurs, it is caught and logged to the console.

Note that for-await-of loop is used because opendirSync returns an async iterator that needs to be consumed using for-await-of loop.
