As Larry Wall said, "Easy things should be easy."
When working on a project and you need to copy something for the first time, you shouldn't have to do:
* Ok I need to copy... What npm package does that again?
* search NPM for copy
* figure out which package is "best"
* npm i some-copy-package
* require("some-copy-packge")
* do thing
The first 4 steps should be unnecessary.
- wruza 9y agoI'll buy it if you remove just third step.
- tkone 9y agoor just fs.createReadStream('file.txt').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('new-file.txt')) Streams are too slow you say? fs.writeFileSync('new-file.txt', fs.readFileSync('file.txt')) I've never had a problem with no explicit copy, but I am very happy it has been added...
- VeejayRampay 9y agoAre streams really considered "slow"? Would your second example be faster in practice for most files?
- pitaj 9y agoFor the first one, what about error handling? You have to handle errors by both the read and write stream, and also most people will want a callback when everything is done, so you have to handle that event, too.
