Function ensureSymlink

Ensures that the symlink exists. If the directory structure does not exist, it is created.

Example

import * as fs from 'fs-extra'

const srcPath = '/tmp/file.txt'
const destPath = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'

// With a callback:
fs.ensureSymlink(srcPath, destPath, err => {
  console.log(err) // => null
  // symlink has now been created, including the directory it is to be placed in
})

// With Promises:
fs.ensureSymlink(srcPath, destPath)
  .then(() => {
    console.log('success!')
  })
  .catch(err => {
    console.error(err)
  })

// With async/await:
async function asyncAwait () {
  try {
    await fs.ensureSymlink(srcPath, destPath)
    console.log('success!')
  } catch (err) {
    console.error(err)
  }
}
