Copy folder recursively in Node.js

You can use the ncp module. I think this is what you need.

This is my approach to solve this problem without any extra modules. Just using the built-in fs and path modules.

Note: This does use the read / write functions of fs, so it does not copy any meta data (time of creation, etc.). As of Node.js 8.5 there is a copyFileSync function available which calls the OS copy functions and therefore also copies meta data. I did not test them yet, but it should work to just replace them. (See https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_copyfilesync_src_dest_flags)

var fs = require('fs');var path = require('path');function copyFileSync( source, target ) {    var targetFile = target;    // If target is a directory, a new file with the same name will be created    if ( fs.existsSync( target ) ) {        if ( fs.lstatSync( target ).isDirectory() ) {            targetFile = path.join( target, path.basename( source ) );        }    }    fs.writeFileSync(targetFile, fs.readFileSync(source));}function copyFolderRecursiveSync( source, target ) {    var files = [];    // Check if folder needs to be created or integrated    var targetFolder = path.join( target, path.basename( source ) );    if ( !fs.existsSync( targetFolder ) ) {        fs.mkdirSync( targetFolder );    }    // Copy    if ( fs.lstatSync( source ).isDirectory() ) {        files = fs.readdirSync( source );        files.forEach( function ( file ) {            var curSource = path.join( source, file );            if ( fs.lstatSync( curSource ).isDirectory() ) {                copyFolderRecursiveSync( curSource, targetFolder );            } else {                copyFileSync( curSource, targetFolder );            }        } );    }}

It looks like ncp and wrench both are no longer maintained.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  fse.copySync(srcDir, destDir, function (err) {  if (err) {                 ^    console.error(err);      |___{ overwrite: true } // add if you want to replace existing folder or file with same name  } else {    console.log("success!");  }});

OR

// To copy a folder or file  fse.moveSync(srcDir, destDir, function (err) {  if (err) {                 ^    console.error(err);      |___{ overwrite: true } // add if you want to replace existing folder or file with same name  } else {    console.log("success!");  }});
