const { copyFile, unlink } = require('builder-util');
copyFile('source.txt', 'destination.txt').then(() => console.log('File copied')).catch(err => console.error(err));
unlink('destination.txt').then(() => console.log('File deleted')).catch(err => console.error(err));
UUID Generation
The UUID generation feature allows you to generate unique identifiers, which can be useful for creating unique keys or identifiers in your application.
const { UUID } = require('builder-util');
const uuid = new UUID().toString();
console.log('Generated UUID:', uuid);
