rename a directory in typescript

To rename a directory in TypeScript, you'll first need to get hold of Node.js's built-in file system module, which exposes functionality for interacting with the file system.

index.ts
import fs from 'fs';

2 lines

Then, use the fs.rename() method to rename the directory. This method takes in the source directory path and the destination directory path as parameters.

Here's an example code block which demonstrates renaming a directory using TypeScript:

index.ts
import fs from 'fs';

const oldDirectoryName = 'path/to/old/directory';
const newDirectoryName = 'path/to/new/directory';

fs.rename(oldDirectoryName, newDirectoryName, (err) => {
  if (err) {
    console.error(err);
  } else {
    console.log('Directory renamed successfully');
  }
});

Make sure to handle the callback function that is passed as a third parameter to the fs.rename() method. This callback function returns an error object if the request was unsuccessful.
