Properties

base?: PathNice<unknown>

If set, the files and directories in the array will maintain structure relative to base when copying / moving.

length: number

Gets or sets the length of the array. This is a number one higher than the highest index in the array.

Copy, move and remove Methods

  • copyToDir(destDir: string | PathNice<unknown>, options?: { dereference?: null | boolean; errorOnExist?: null | boolean; filter?: null | ((src: string, dest: string) => boolean | Promise<boolean>); force?: null | boolean; preserveTimestamps?: null | boolean; recursive?: null | boolean; verbatimSymlinks?: null | boolean }): Promise<PathNiceArr>
  • Asynchronously copies files and directories in the array into dest directory.

    If PathNiceArr.base is set, the files and directories in the array will maintain structure relative to it when copying.

    Returns

    destination path of each copied item wrapped in Promise

    Parameters

    • destDir: string | PathNice<unknown>

      destination directory to copy into.

    • Optional options: { dereference?: null | boolean; errorOnExist?: null | boolean; filter?: null | ((src: string, dest: string) => boolean | Promise<boolean>); force?: null | boolean; preserveTimestamps?: null | boolean; recursive?: null | boolean; verbatimSymlinks?: null | boolean }

      options.force: overwrite existing file or directory. The copy operation will ignore errors if you set this to false and the destination exists. Use the errorOnExist option to change this behavior. Default: true.

      • options.dereference: dereference symlinks. Default: false.
      • options.errorOnExist: when force is false, and the destination exists, throw an error. Default: false.
      • options.filter: Function to filter copied files/directories. Return true to copy the item, false to ignore it. Can also return a Promise that resolves to true or false. Default: undefined.
      • options.preserveTimestamps: When true timestamps from src will be preserved. Default: false.
      • options.recursive: copy directories recursively. Default: true
      • options.verbatimSymlinks: When true, path resolution for symlinks will be skipped. Default: false
      • Optional dereference?: null | boolean
      • Optional errorOnExist?: null | boolean
      • Optional filter?: null | ((src: string, dest: string) => boolean | Promise<boolean>)
      • Optional force?: null | boolean
      • Optional preserveTimestamps?: null | boolean
      • Optional recursive?: null | boolean
      • Optional verbatimSymlinks?: null | boolean

    Returns Promise<PathNiceArr>

  • moveToDir(destDir: string | PathNice<unknown>, options?: { overwrite?: null | boolean }): Promise<PathNiceArr>
  • Asynchronously moves files and directories in the array into dest directory, even across devices, including subdirectories and files when moving a directory.

    If PathNiceArr.base is set, the files and directories in the array will maintain structure relative to it when moving.

    Returns

    destination path of each moved item wrapped in Promise

    Parameters

    • destDir: string | PathNice<unknown>

      destination to move to. Note: When src is a file, dest must be a file and when src is a directory, dest must be a directory.

    • Optional options: { overwrite?: null | boolean }

      options.overwrite: overwrite existing file or directory. Default: false

      • Optional overwrite?: null | boolean

    Returns Promise<PathNiceArr>

  • Asynchronously removes files and directories in the array. The directories can have contents. If one of the paths does not exist, silently does nothing for it.

    Returns

    original paths wrapped in Promise

    Returns Promise<PathNiceArr>

Watch Methods

  • watchWithChokidar(options?: WatchOptions & { forceEvenDifferentFS?: boolean }): FSWatcher
  • Watch file changes with chokidar for a more friendly and powerful API.

    This method is equivalent to calling chokidar.watch(paths, options), where paths is populated with the current path array and the options accepted by this method are passed to it.

    See https://github.com/paulmillr/chokidar#api for full documents.

    ⚠️ Note: chokidar can only use the original node:fs module. Calling this method will result in an error if you are using a path-nice generated via bindFS() that is bound to another fs implementation. If you are sure your operation makes sense, enable options.forceEvenDifferentFS to ignore this error.

    Parameters

    • Optional options: WatchOptions & { forceEvenDifferentFS?: boolean }

    Returns FSWatcher

Copy, move and remove Sync Methods

  • Synchronously copies files and directories in the array into dest directory.
