Copy folder recursively in Node.js

by

It looks like ncp and wrench both are no longer maintained. Probably the best option is to use fs-extra

The Developer of Wrench directs users to use fs-extra as he has deprecated his library

copySync & moveSync both will copy and move folders even if they have files or subfolders and you can easily move or copy files using it

const fse = require('fs-extra');

const srcDir = `path/to/file`;
const destDir = `path/to/destination/directory`;
                                 
// To copy a folder or file, select overwrite accordingly
try {
  fse.copySync(srcDir, destDir, { overwrite: true|false })
  console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err)
}

OR

// To Move a folder or file, select overwrite accordingly
try {
  fs.moveSync(srcDir, destDir, { overwrite: true|false })
  console.log('success!')
} catch (err) {
  console.error(err)
}
