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

To use utimes function from fs-extra library in Typescript, you should do the following:

1. Install the fs-extra library: npm install fs-extra.

2. Import the necessary modules at the beginning of your file:

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

3. Use utimes function with proper typings:

index.ts
const filePath: PathLike = "file.txt";
const now = new Date();

fs.utimes(filePath, now, now, (err: NodeJS.ErrnoException | null) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
    return;
  }

  console.log(`File ${filePath} has been successfully modified.`);
});

Note that the fs.utimes function requires a PathLike type parameter as its first argument, which represents the path to the file you want to modify. Also, utimes function requires you to pass two Date objects as the second and third parameters, which represent the new atime and mtime values respectively.

In the example code above, we first define a filePath variable and a now variable representing the current date and time. We then use the fs.utimes function to modify the timestamp of the file at filePath, passing now as the new atime and mtime values. Finally, we log a message to the console indicating that the file has been successfully modified if there are no errors.
