  1. Use the outputJson function to write a JSON object to a file:
index.ts
const jsonObject = { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 };
const filePath = './data.json';

outputJson(filePath, jsonObject)
    .then(() => console.log('File written successfully.'))

  1. Alternatively, you can use the writeFileSync function to write a JSON object to a file:
index.ts
const jsonObject = { name: 'John Doe', age: 30 };
const filePath = './data.json';

writeFileSync(filePath, JSON.stringify(jsonObject, null, 4));
console.log('File written successfully.');

In both cases, the JSON.stringify function is used to convert the JSON object to a string with pretty formatting (indentation of 4 spaces).
