learn(fs): refresh #32
Description
IMO, the part about the FS is not quite right and there are missing parts.
- The title of subsection "Manipulating Files" should be something like "working with file system" because the content is just not about file it's also about folder.
- Adding a intorudction of
fs/fs/promises+ what mean file system ... like introduction of test runner - Include glob paterns
- more examples with cjs/esm
Remaining question:
- Should we put ESM example as first ?
- Should we put
fs/promisesas first. - How to handle difference between
fsandfs/promises

I ended up here after being confused by the doc page about reading files. I thought ESM was the official standard format, so I was surprised to see CJS presented first. Also, the page states that there are three ways to read a file (apart from using streams), but does not explain when to use which.
