Implement recursive and flat copy

[Idered]

Fixes #61
Fixes #84
Fixes #60

• optimize and refactor
• update docs
• add better typescript types
• write more tests
• handle rename option
• copying folders structure
• flattening file structure
• current tests passing on windows
• current tests passing on linux

Examples:

cpy('node_modules', 'web_modules') outputs web_modules/node_modules/module1
node_modules files are copied recursively and structure is preserved.

cpy('node_modules/**', 'web_modules') outputs web_modules/module1
node_modules files are copied recursively and structure is preserved. Only node_modules content will be copied to web_modules.

cpy('node_modules/**', 'web_modules', {flat: true}) outputs web_modules/file1
node_modules files are copied recursively and structure is not preserved. Only node_modules content will be copied to web_modules.

cpy('node_modules/**/*.cmd', 'web_modules') will recreate node_modules structure but all non cmd files will be ommited

[sindresorhus]

@Idered Still interested in finishing this?

[Idered]

@sindresorhus Sure, I'll tackle it this or next week. From what I remember, it will change behavior a little - results for some patterns won't be compatible with current version - is this ok?

[sindresorhus]

Yes, I can do a major release.

[sindresorhus]

@Idered Friendly bump :)

[Idered]

I've fixed some stuff, now I just need to add docs

[sindresorhus]

Just a friendly reminder in case you forgot about this PR.

[mesqueeb]

@Idered @sindresorhus I'd love to have the copying folders structure feature! Any way I can help?

[sindresorhus]

Bump :)

[Idered]

@sindresorhus 👋 I've finished it. I'm skipping refactoring and optimizations. Please let me know if it's any good :)

[mesqueeb]

I'd be careful including unrelated commits, it's cognitive strain for the author.

[sindresorhus]

hey, let me know if you have any feedback.

Sorry for the slow response. It took me a while to get through my notifications...

[martinpe36]

Should the version number in package.json be bumped:

"version": "8.1.2" -> "version": "8.1.3"

[sindresorhus]

Should the version number in package.json be bumped:

Not in a pull request, no.

[philipp-winterle]

@Idered Waiting on this to be fixed. Will you adjust your pr soon?

[sindresorhus]

This looks good now. Thank you for working on this, @Idered.

Do you plan more PRs here or should I do a new release?

[sindresorhus]

@Idered Did you see #77 (comment) ?

[Josmithr]

Is there an ETA for the new release containing this?

[Idered]

@sindresorhus hey, sorry for delay. I plan to do some more work on this, please don't release it yet.

[philipp-winterle]

@Idered Not sure you saw this gregnb/filemanager-webpack-plugin#94
Webpack plugin is waiting for cpy to support recursive copy. Since it's a while I would love to have some status updates here.

[sindresorhus]

@Idered Just wondering if you still plan to work on this as it's been a while and a release is needed.

[Idered]

Yeah, sorry. I'll work on it tonight

@Idered looking forward to it!

[millerds]

Pinging on this again . . .

[millerds]

Any chance this is going to be fixed?

[mesqueeb]

I hope nothing happened to @Idered 😰

[sindresorhus]

This is continued in #92.

[sindresorhus]

If anyone wants to help out, fix the things that needs to be addressed in #92 and do a new pull request.
