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

To use the remove function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you need to do the following steps:

1. Install the fs-extra library by running the following npm command in your terminal:

npm install fs-extra

2. Import the fs-extra module in your TypeScript file:

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

2 lines

3. Use the remove function to delete a file or directory in your TypeScript code. For example, to remove a directory named "data" and all its contents, you can do the following:

index.ts
fs.remove("./data")
  .then(() => {
    console.log("Directory removed successfully!");
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.error(err);
  });

In this example, the remove function is called with the path of the directory to be removed as the argument. The function returns a Promise that resolves when the removal is complete. If an error occurs during the removal, the Promise is rejected and the error is caught in the catch block.

Note that the fs-extra module provides many other useful functions for working with files and directories in Node.js, and you can find more information in the official documentation.
