I am using fs.copyFile
to copy files from one location to another. I am doing this twice in order to copy two files. It's redundant and I would like to make my code better by maybe copying both files to the destination with a single call? How can I achieve this?
fs.copyFile('src/blah.txt', 'build/blah.txt', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
});
fs.copyFile('src/unk.txt', 'build/unk.txt', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
});
You can simply create a function of your own that takes the src and dest path and an array of filenames as arguments:
const util = require('util');
const fs = require('fs');
const path = require('path');
const copyFilePromise = util.promisify(fs.copyFile);
function copyFiles(srcDir, destDir, files) {
return Promise.all(files.map(f => {
return copyFilePromise(path.join(srcDir, f), path.join(destDir, f));
}));
}
// usage:
copyFiles('src', 'build', ['unk.txt', 'blah.txt']).then(() => {
console.log("done");
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
