Advanced tools
Package description
The move-concurrently npm package is designed to move files or directories from one location to another efficiently and safely, even under heavy loads or when dealing with a large number of files. It leverages concurrency to speed up the move operation while ensuring data integrity.
Moving files or directories concurrently
This feature allows you to move files or directories from one location to another using concurrency for improved performance. The function returns a promise, making it easy to handle completion or errors.
const move = require('move-concurrently');
move('/path/to/source', '/path/to/dest').then(() => console.log('Move complete!')).catch(console.error);fs-extra adds file system methods that aren't included in the native fs module and adds promise support to fs methods. It includes a method for moving files, similar to move-concurrently, but with a broader focus on file system operations.
cpy is a package designed for copying files and directories with support for glob patterns and concurrency. While it focuses on copying rather than moving, its use of concurrency for handling multiple files offers a similar performance advantage.
Readme
Move files and directories.
const move = require('move-concurrently')
move('/path/to/thing', '/new/path/thing').then(() => {
// thing is now moved!
}).catch(err => {
// oh no!
})
Uses rename to move things as fast as possible.
If you move across devices or on filesystems that don't support renaming
large directories. That is, situations that result in rename returning
the EXDEV error, then move will fallback to copy + delete.
When recursively copying directories it will first try to rename the contents before falling back to copying. While this will be slightly slower in true cross-device scenarios, it is MUCH faster in cases where the filesystem can't handle directory renames.
When copying ownership is maintained when running as root. Permissions are always maintained. On Windows, if symlinks are unavailable then junctions will be used.
Recursively moves from to to and resolves its promise when finished.
If to already exists then the promise will be rejected with an EEXIST
error.
Starts by trying to rename from to to.
Options are:
1) The maximum number of concurrent copies to do at once.process.platform === 'win32') If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires
an extra stat to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory
fails then we'll try making a junction instead.Options can also include dependency injection:
global.Promise) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's.require('fs')) The filesystem module to use. Can be used
to use graceful-fs or to inject a mock.require('fs-write-stream-atomic')) The
implementation of writeStreamAtomic to use. Used to inject a mock.process.getuid) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.FAQs
Promises of moves of files or directories with rename, falling back to recursive rename/copy on EXDEV errors, with configurable concurrency and win32 junction support.
