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

To use the renamesync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you'll first need to install the library and ensure that you have @types/node installed in your project as well. You can do this by running the following commands in your terminal:

index.ts
npm install fs-extra
npm install @types/node

Once you've installed the library and its types, you can import and use the renamesync function in your TypeScript code:

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

try {
  fs.renameSync('old/path/file.txt', 'new/path/file.txt');
  console.log('File renamed successfully.');
} catch (err) {
  console.log(`Error: ${err}`);
}

The renamesync function takes two arguments: the current file path and the target file path. It will rename the file at the current path to the target path. Note that if a file already exists at the target path, it will be overwritten.

In the code above, we're using a try-catch block to handle any errors that may occur when renaming the file. If an error is thrown, we'll log it to the console. Otherwise, we'll log a success message.

This code can be run in a Node.js environment to rename files on the file system.
