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

To use the statsync function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, first, you need to install both the fs-extra and @types/fs-extra libraries via npm. You can install them by running the following command in your terminal:

npm install fs-extra @types/fs-extra --save

Once you've installed the libraries, you can import the fs-extra module into your TypeScript file using the import statement:

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

2 lines

Now, you can use the statsync function of the fs-extra module to get the stats of a file synchronously. Here's an example code snippet:

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

const filePath: string = '/path/to/file.txt';

try {
    const stats: fs.Stats = fs.statSync(filePath);
    console.log(stats);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

In the above code snippet, we first declared a variable filePath with the path to the file we want to get the stats of. Then, we wrapped the fs.statSync function in a try...catch block to handle any errors that may occur. Inside the try block, we call the fs.statSync function with the filePath argument to get the stats of the file synchronously. Finally, we log the stats object to the console.

Note: The fs.Stats is an interface provided by fs-extra and it contains all the properties and methods of the standard fs.Stats object from the Node.js fs module. The difference is that fs-extra provides additional properties and methods.
