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

In order to use the pathExistsSync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, first you need to install the library by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install --save fs-extra

Once the installation is complete, you can import the pathExistsSync function and use it in your TypeScript code. Here is an example:

index.ts
import { pathExistsSync } from "fs-extra";

const path = "/path/to/check";

if (pathExistsSync(path)) {
  console.log(`Path ${path} exists!`);
} else {
  console.log(`Path ${path} does not exist.`);
}

In this example, we import the pathExistsSync function from the fs-extra library and use it to check if a given path exists on the file system. If the path exists, we log a message to the console indicating that it exists. If the path does not exist, we log a message indicating that it does not exist.

Note that the pathExistsSync function is a synchronous function, which means that it blocks the thread until the path existence check is complete. If you need to perform the check asynchronously, fs-extra provides an asynchronous version of the function called pathExists.
