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

To use the rmdirSync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you can follow these steps:

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

npm install --save fs-extra

2 lines

2. Import the fs-extra library at the top of your TypeScript file:

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

3. Call the rmdirSync function with the directory path as its parameter:

index.ts
fs.rmdirSync('/path/to/directory');
36 chars
2 lines

Here is an example code snippet that shows how to use the rmdirSync function to remove a directory recursively:

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

const deleteFolderRecursive = (path: string) => {
  if (fs.existsSync(path)) {
    fs.readdirSync(path).forEach((file) => {
      const curPath = `${path}/${file}`;
      if (fs.lstatSync(curPath).isDirectory()) {
        deleteFolderRecursive(curPath);
      } else {
        fs.unlinkSync(curPath);
      }
    });
    fs.rmdirSync(path);
  }
};

deleteFolderRecursive('/path/to/directory');

This code recursively removes a directory by calling the deleteFolderRecursive function. The function checks if the path exists, if it does, it checks if it is a directory or a file. If it is a directory, it calls itself recursively to delete all the files and subdirectories in it. If it is a file, it deletes the file using the unlinkSync function from the fs-extra library. Finally, it removes the empty directory using the rmdirSync function.
