Self proclaimed better file copier then the rest.
Better file copier is a node package to allow you to copy a file or folder. Yeah.... as simple as that...
But why bother making one?
Bare minimum command :
const bCopy = require('better-copy');
//bCopy(from, to, options, callback)
bCopy('/path/to/your/moreThan2TBFiles.ext', '/path/to/destination/file.ext')
// the process is asynchronous
await bCopy('/path/to/your/moreThan2TBFiles.ext', '/path/to/destination/file.ext')
const bCopy = require('better-copy');
//use callback instead of the default promise
bCopy('/path/to/your/moreThan2TBFiles.ext', '/path/to/destination/file.ext',
(result) => {
console.log(result)
})
//...is equal with :
bCopy('/path/to/your/moreThan2TBFiles.ext', '/path/to/destination/file.ext')
.then((result) => {
console.log(result)
})
Resolved result is an iterable object containing pairs of source & destination path :
{
"/source/path/1" : [
"/destination/path/1",
"/destination/path/2"
...
]
"/source/path/2" : [...]
}
A single command to copy both file or folders :
const bCopy = require('better-copy');
// copy file to a directory, assuming the same file name
bCopy('/path/to/your/file.txt', '/path/to/destination/folder');
// copy directory recursively
bCopy('/path/to/your/folder', '/path/to/destination/folder');
Copy from & into multiple file/directory at once:
const bCopy = require('better-copy');
// use an array as parameter for more than one input path
bCopy(['/path/to/your/folder1', '/path/to/some/file.txt'], '/path/to/destination/folder');
// Copy some file from multiple source into multiple directory
bCopy(['/path/to/your/folder1', '/path/to/some/file.txt'],
[
'/path/to/destination/folder',
'/path/to/other/folder'
]);
Get content of directory recursively Walk a directory
const bCopy = require('better-copy');
var dirContent = await bCopy.walk("your/directory/path");
Walk a directory
const bCopy = require('better-copy');
// use an array as parameter for more than one input path
bCopy.walk("your/directory/path", {
onFile : function(filepath, stats) {
// when meet a file
console.log("File:", arguments);
},
onDir : function(filepath, stats) {
// when meet a folder
console.log("folder", arguments);
}
})
.then((folderContents) => {
// the recursive content of folder in array format
console.log("Walk finished", folderContents)
})
Default options
// The default value of the options parameter
bCopy('/path/to/your/folder1', '/path/to/destination/folder',
{
filter:function(from, to) {
// return false to exclude
// return true to include
return true;
},
onAfterCopy : function(from, to) {},
onBeforeCopy : function(from, to) {},
overwrite : false, // will overwrite the target if set true
useShell : false, // use shell copy if possible (not all OS are supported)
});
Filtering example
// Copy only the zip file
var path = require('path');
copy('F:/source/', ['F:/destination/'], {
filter:function(from, to) {
console.log("handling ", from);
if (path.extname(from).toLowerCase() == '.zip') {
console.log("extension is zip, skipping")
return true;
}
return false;
}
})
.then(function(result) {
console.log("Copied files :", result)
})
Example : onAfterCopy
// delete source file after successfull copy (aka: move)
bCopy('/path/to/your/folder1', '/path/to/destination/folder',
{
onAfterCopy : function(from, to) {
fs.unlink(from);
},
});
