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

Assuming you have already installed the fs-extra library, you can use the stat function to get the stats of a file using the promises API in TypeScript as shown below:

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

async function getFileStats(filePath: string) {
  try {
    const stats = await fs.stat(filePath);
    console.log(stats);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
  }
}

getFileStats('/path/to/file');

13 lines

In the above code, we import the fs-extra library and use the stat function to get the stats of the file located at /path/to/file. We use the getFileStats function to handle the asynchronous call to the stat function using the async/await syntax. The stats object is then logged to the console. If an error occurs, we log the error to the console.
