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

To use the rmsync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, first you need to install the library and its types:

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

3 lines

Then, you can import the rmsync function and use it like this:

index.ts
import { rmsync } from 'fs-extra';

try {
  rmsync('/path/to/folder');
  console.log('Folder removed successfully');
} catch (err) {
  console.error('Failed to remove folder', err);
}

9 lines

The rmsync function removes a folder and its contents recursively. It's similar to the built-in rm -rf command in Unix-based systems.

Note: if you are using TypeScript with a version less than 4.1, you may get an error when importing the rmsync function from fs-extra. In this case, you should import it like this:

index.ts
import rmsync = require('fs-extra').rmsync;

Also, make sure that your tsconfig.json file has the "esModuleInterop": true flag set, or you may get an error related to importing the function.
