npm@npmcli/move-file
A fork of move-file with compatibility with all node 10.x versions.
Move a file (or directory)
The built-in
fs.rename()
is just a JavaScript wrapper for the C rename(2) function, which doesn't
support moving files across partitions or devices. This module is what you
would have expected fs.rename() to be.
Highlights
- Promise API.
- Supports moving a file across partitions and devices.
- Optionally prevent overwriting an existing file.
- Creates non-existent destination directories for you.
- Support for Node versions that lack built-in recursive
fs.mkdir() - Automatically recurses when source is a directory.
Install
$ npm install @npmcli/move-fileUsage
const moveFile = require('@npmcli/move-file');
(async () => {
await moveFile('source/unicorn.png', 'destination/unicorn.png');
console.log('The file has been moved');
})();API
