Copy folder recursively in Node.js
fs, javascript, node.js
Solution
Since Node v16.7.0 it is possible to use `fs.cp` or `fs.cpSync` function.
fs.cp(src, dest, {recursive: true}, (err) => {/* callback */});
// Or
fs.cpSync(src, dest, {recursive: true});
Current stability (in Node v21.1.0) is Experimental.
Problem
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` recursively? I am just wondering if I'm missing a function which would ideally work like this: ``` fs.copy("/path/to/source/folder", "/path/to/destination/folder"); ``` Regarding this historic question. Note that `fs.cp` and `fs.cpSync` can copy folders recursively and are available in Node v16+
