Installation

npm install copy-recursive

Usage

import copy from 'copy-recursive';

// Single file/directory copy with logging
const config = [{
    src: 'source/path',
    dest: 'destination/path',
    depth: 2,
    height: 0,
    flatten: false,
    conflictResolution: 'rename',
    logLevel: 'brief'
}];
await copy(config);

// Multiple sources with verbose logging
const multiConfig = [{
    src: ['source1', 'source2', 'source3'],
    dest: 'destination/path',
    flatten: true,
    logLevel: 'verbose'
}];
await copy(multiConfig);

Configuration Options

Each configuration object supports the following options:

Conflict Resolution Strategies

• overwrite: Overwrites existing files at destination
• skip: Skips copying if file exists at destination
• rename: Adds a numeric suffix to create a unique filename

Logging Levels

• none: No logging output
• verbose: Detailed logging of all operations
• brief: Concise, Gulp-style logging with symbols
  • → File copied
  • ↺ File overwritten
  • ⠿ File skipped
  • ⥅ File renamed

Example brief logging output:

Starting copy task...
→ src/file1.txt → dest/file1.txt
↺ src/file2.txt → dest/file2.txt
⠿ src/file3.txt
⥅ src/file4.txt → dest/file4_1.txt
Copy task completed
