To use the unwatchFile function from the fs-extra library in TypeScript, you need to first install the library using the following command:

npm install --save fs-extra

After installing the library, you can import it into your TypeScript file using the following statement:

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

2 lines

Once you have imported the library, you can use the unwatchFile function to stop watching a file for changes.

Here is an example of how to use the unwatchFile function:

index.ts
fs.unwatchFile("/path/to/file", (curr, prev) => {
  console.log("File changes unwatched");
});

4 lines

In the code snippet above, fs.unwatchFile takes two parameters: the file path and a callback function that will be called when the file changes are unwatched.

The curr and prev parameters in the callback function are the current and previous file stats respectively.

By calling unwatchFile, the file changes will no longer be monitored by the fs.watch function.
