Copying or Moving Titanium Folders

Looking for away to Copy or Move a folder in your Titanium app?  Check out Dossier an all JavaScript module that provides a cross-platform API for working with folders.

Where to get it

The Dossier module, example app.js and supporting files are available at https://github.com/benbahrenburg/Dossier

How it works

Dossier is all JavaScript making it simple to both use and modify.  Simply copy the dossier.js CommonJS module into your app and start coding.

Below is a sample app.js showing Dossier in action.

//Create our application namespace
var my = {};
//Import the module
my.dossier = require('dossier');

Ti.API.info('Copy one directory to another');

//Create our source and target directory paths
var sourceDir = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.resourcesDirectory, 'SampleData');
var targetDir = Ti.Filesystem.getFile(Ti.Filesystem.applicationDataDirectory + '/NewSampleData');

Ti.API.info('Copying ' + sourceDir.nativePath + ' to ' + targetDir.nativePath );
my.dossier.copy(sourceDir.nativePath,targetDir.nativePath);

Ti.API.info('List all the contents of ' + targetDir.nativePath);
var listTargetContents = my.dossier.listContents(targetDir.nativePath);

Ti.API.info('Move ' + sourceDir.nativePath + ' to ' + targetDir.nativePath );
my.dossier.move(sourceDir.nativePath,targetDir.nativePath);

Ti.API.info('List all the contents of ' + targetDir.nativePath);
listTargetContents = my.dossier.listContents(targetDir.nativePath);
