Copy Directory

[newtonianb]

How can I copy a directory from sourcePath to targetPath ?

[frankdejonge]

This should be done in user land code. A default implementation would make to many assumptions. You'd need to use a combination of listContents and copy (for files) and createDir (for directories).

[frankdejonge]

The implementation for copyDirectory across adapters would have more to do with listContents and readStream + writeStream.

Why can't there be a plugin that does it? I'm asking because this seems like a pretty common task. I don't quite understand the complexity of the assumptions, to be honest. One recursive function + one caller method.

Maybe the complications may arise with large hierarchies or file sizes – I don't have much experience with these cases. @frankdejonge, could you please explain?

Searching "flysystem copy directory" points to this page first, so this is probably the best place for a discussion.

I'd like to do something like that at the moment: $mountManager->copyDir('zipfs://source/dir', 'localfs://target/dir');

UPD: Ah! The complications may come from the default action for files that are already in the target directory. Maybe copyDir is not the best name for the method then. How about rsync with a simpler behaviour?

if copy doesn't support both files and directories it should probably renamed to the more explicit copyFile().

+1 for this request; would make OneUp incrediby powerful. Similar to Kachkaev, i'm wanting to go from zipfs to S3.

In the meantime, for any pondering a quick way of performing this. In the example:

• I'm using mountManager to handle the two filesystems
• $publication->getSlug() is acting as the file path

   $contents = $mountManager->listContents('scratch://'.$publication->getSlug(), true);
   foreach ($contents as $fileNode)
   {
       if($fileNode['type'] == 'dir')
       {
           $mountManager->createDir('s3://'.$fileNode['path']);
           continue;
       }

       $mountManager->put(
           's3://'.$fileNode['path'],
           $mountManager->read('scratch://'.$fileNode['path'])
       );
   }

Not the ideal approach, but the S3 package supports uploading a directory under the covers:

        $s3Client = app('s3Client');
        $this->s3Client->uploadDirectory(
            $localDirectory,
            $awsBucket,
            $pathPrefixInAWS,
            $awsOptions
        );

@symball Would you need to use createDir() when they would be created implicitly by wrapping the put() in a $fileNode['type'] == 'file' (or != 'dir') check? Unless of course you really need those empty directories...

[symball]

For my usage, the above was something I put together very quickly and it is looping through a huge list of files. at the time thought it wouldn't hurt to simply have directories created, it is supposed to be copying from one filesystem to another so missing even empty directories breaks that.
