Copy folder recursively in Node.js

Question

Is there an easier way to copy a folder and all its content without manually doing a sequence of fs.readir, fs.readfile, fs.writefile

Answer 1

This is how I did it:

let fs = require('fs');
let path = require('path');

Then:

let filePath = // Your file path

let fileList = []
    var walkSync = function(filePath, filelist)
    {
        let files = fs.readdirSync(filePath);
        filelist = filelist || [];
        files.forEach(function(file)
        {
            if (fs.statSync(path.join(filePath, file)).isDirectory())
            {
                filelist = walkSync(path.join(filePath, file), filelist);
            }
            else
            {
                filelist.push(path.join(filePath, file));
            }
        });

        // Ignore hidden files
        filelist = filelist.filter(item => !(/(^|\/)\.[^\/\.]/g).test(item));

        return filelist;
    };

Then call the method:

This.walkSync(filePath, fileList)
