Error when running npx iconfont-init: Cannot find module 'fs-extra'

[LeleDallas]

When trying to run npx iconfont-init in my React project after installing react-iconfont-cli using npm, I encountered the following error:

Error: Cannot find module 'fs-extra'
Require stack:
- .../node_modules/react-iconfont-cli/commands/createJson.js

To resolve this issue, I installed the fs-extra module manually using npm i fs-extra, and after that, the command worked as expected.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new React project or use an existing one.
2. Install react-iconfont-cli by running npm install react-iconfont-cli --save-dev.
3. Attempt to run npx iconfont-init in the project directory.

Expected Behavior:

npx iconfont-init should run without any errors and initiate the icon font setup successfully.

Actual Behavior:

The command throws an error: Cannot find module 'fs-extra'.

Proposed Solution:

It appears that the fs-extra module is required by the react-iconfont-cli package, but it was not installed automatically as a dependency. To resolve this issue, users should manually install fs-extra using the following command:

npm install fs-extra

After installing fs-extra, running npx iconfont-init should work as expected.

Additional Information:

• Node version: 18.15.0
• NPM version: 9.5.0
• OS: macOS

Installation fs-extra can be solved.

Yeah, we can just add it on the installation steps with a PR.
However, whether or not PR gets merged depends on the repository's administrators.
