This is intended behavior, you can't deconstruct methods and use methods that rely on the parent object that holds the properties/methods that certain method you've deconstructed is using in it's function body.

However, you can do something like the following if your use case worths it:

const stat = fs.statSync(...);

const { isDirectory } = stat;

if (isDirectory.call(stat)) { ... }
