README
This module takes files from one place and moves (copies) them into another place.
Installation
npm install mover
To use mover, you need to setup a moving plan. This is basically just an object that maps input files to output locations. Here's there plan that I used to test everything:
var plan = {
"depth1": {
"depth2": {
files: [
"LICENSE",
],
"depth3" : {
files: [
"package.json",
"mover.js"
]
}
}
}
} // end plan
exports.plan = plan;
This plan takes the files 'LICENSE', 'mover.js', and 'package.json' and moves them into some new folders. The plan's purpose is to create a simple way to define a folder structure and map sources to destinations.
NOTE: You can only move an input file to one output location. The plan will choose the last output location it encounters for a given input file.
Once you've constructed a plan, you can start moving files around. Here's an exapmle of typical usage
var plan = require("./testplan").plan,
mover = require("./mover").createMover();
// Set our mover's plan using relative input paths (the second argument)
mover.setPlan( plan, true );
// Do all the moving
mover.move();
Try running "node test.js" inside the project directory to test things out :)
