To use the stats() function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you need to first install the library by running the following command:

npm install fs-extra

Then, you can import the fs-extra library and use the stats() function to get the file statistics like this:

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

const filePath = 'path/to/your/file';

// Get the file stats
try {
  const fileStats: fsExtra.Stats = await fsExtra.stat(filePath);
  console.log(fileStats.isFile()); // Will print true if it is a file
  console.log(fileStats.isDirectory()); // Will print true if it is a directory
} catch (error) {
  console.error(error);
}

In the code above, we imported the entire fs-extra library using the * wildcard and assigned it to the variable fsExtra. We then used the stat() function to get the file statistics for the file located at filePath. The fileStats object returned by the stat() function has a number of methods that can be used to determine whether the filePath corresponds to a file or a directory.
