# ensureSymlink(srcpath, dstpath, [type, callback])
Ensures that the symlink exists. If the directory structure does not exist, it is created.
- `srcpath` `<String>`
- `dstpath` `<String>`
- `type` `<String>`
- `callback` `<Function>`
## Example:
```js
const fs = require('fs-extra')
const srcpath = '/tmp/file.txt'
const dstpath = '/tmp/this/path/does/not/exist/file.txt'
// With a callback:
fs.ensureSymlink(srcpath, dstpath, err => {
console.log(err) // => null
// symlink has now been created, including the directory it is to be placed in
})
// With Promises:
fs.ensureSymlink(srcpath, dstpath)
.then(() => {
console.log('success!')
})
.catch(err => {
console.error(err)
})
// With async/await:
async function example (src, dest) {
try {
await fs.ensureSymlink(src, dest)
console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
}
}
example(srcpath, dstpath)
```
