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

The fs-extra library extends the Node.js core fs module with extra methods. One of these methods is toLocaleString, which returns a string representation of a date, formatted according to the current locale and timezone.

Here's an example of how to use toLocaleString with fs-extra in TypeScript:

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

const stats = await fs.stat('/path/to/file.txt');
const formattedDate = stats.mtime.toLocaleString();

console.log(`Last modified: ${formattedDate}`);
184 chars
7 lines

In this example, we import the fs module from fs-extra. We then use the stat method to get information about a file, including the mtime property, which represents the last modified time of the file. We pass this value to toLocaleString to format it as a string, which we log to the console.
