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

To use the readdirsync function from the fs-extra library in your TypeScript project, you need to first install the library by running the following command:

npm install --save fs-extra

After installing the fs-extra library, you can import it in your TypeScript file as shown below:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs-extra';
32 chars
2 lines

Once you have imported the fs-extra library, you can use the readdirsync function to read the contents of a directory synchronously.

Here is an example code snippet that demonstrates how to use the readdirsync function:

index.ts
import * as fs from 'fs-extra';

try {
    const files = fs.readdirSync('/path/to/directory');
    console.log('Found files:', files);
} catch (err) {
    console.error('Error reading directory:', err);
}

9 lines

In the above example, the readdirsync function is called with the path of the directory as an argument. The function returns an array of filenames in the directory. If an error occurs while reading the directory, it is caught and an error message is printed to the console.

Note that readdirsync function blocks the execution of the code until it has returned the list of files in the directory. If you want to read the contents of a directory asynchronously, you can use the readdir function provided by the fs-extra library instead.
