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

To use the outputJsonSync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, first, make sure to install the library by running the following command in your project directory:

index.ts
npm install --save fs-extra

2 lines

Then, in your TypeScript file, import the fs-extra module using the require function:

index.ts
const fs = require('fs-extra');
32 chars
2 lines

Now you can use the outputJsonSync function to write a JSON object to a file synchronously. Here's an example:

index.ts
const myObj = { name: 'John', age: 30 };

try {
  fs.outputJsonSync('myObj.json', myObj);
  console.log('Successfully wrote JSON object to file');
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err);
}

9 lines

This example writes the myObj object to a file named 'myObj.json' in the current working directory. The outputJsonSync function will serialize the object to JSON and write it to the file synchronously.

If the write is successful, the console will log 'Successfully wrote JSON object to file'. If there's an error, it will be caught and logged to the console.
