elixir-copy

elixir-copy - Elixir recipe to copy files from on directory to another. Enhanced with gulp-copy to mirror directories.

Prerequirement

You have to install Laravel's Elixir(Version 3.0 or higher) and its dependencies first.

Installation

Install with Node.js

npm install elixir-copy

Usage

Add it to your Elixir-enhanced Gulpfile, like so:

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

// import the dependency
var copyto = require('elixir-copy');

elixir(function(mix) {
  mix.copyto('file.ext', 'path/to/folder');
});

This will copy the file (located by default in your resources/assets/) folder to the destination folder.

You can also provide an array of input files to copy.

mix.copyto(['file.ext', 'file2.ext'], 'path/to/folder');

By default, it will look for files in your resources/assets/ folder. All files provided in the input array need be relative to this folder. However you can override the default source folder as well.

mix.copyto(['file.ext', 'file2.ext'], 'path/to/folder', 'some/source/folder');

The source folder is relative to your Laravel root folder.

Want to mirror the folder structure? In the options, provide a flag of mirror and the recipe will duplicate the entire folder structure from the source files to the destination folder:

mix.copyto(['file.ext', 'sub/folder/file2.ext'], 'path/to/folder', 'some/source/folder', { mirror: true });

This will create the complete path of path/to/folder/some/source/folder/file.ext and path/to/folder/some/source/folder/sub/folder/file2.ext.
