# move-concurrently Move files and directories. ``` const move = require('move-concurrently') move('/path/to/thing', '/new/path/thing'), err => { if (err) throw err // thing is now moved! }) ``` Uses `rename` to move things as fast as possible. If you `move` across devices or on filesystems that don't support renaming large directories. That is, situations that result in `rename` returning the `EXDEV` error, then `move` will fallback to copy + delete. When recursively copying directories it will first try to rename the contents before falling back to copying. While this will be slightly slower in true cross-device scenarios, it is MUCH faster in cases where the filesystem can't handle directory renames. When copying ownership is maintained when running as root. Permissions are always maintained. On Windows, if symlinks are unavailable then junctions will be used. ## INTERFACE ### move(from, to, options) → Promise Recursively moves `from` to `to` and resolves its promise when finished. If `to` already exists then the promise will be rejected with an `EEXIST` error. Starts by trying to rename `from` to `to`. Options are: * maxConcurrency – (Default: `1`) The maximum number of concurrent copies to do at once. * isWindows - (Default: `process.platform === 'win32'`) If true enables Windows symlink semantics. This requires an extra `stat` to determine if the destination of a symlink is a file or directory. If symlinking a directory fails then we'll try making a junction instead. Options can also include dependency injection: * Promise - (Default: `global.Promise`) The promise implementation to use, defaults to Node's. * fs - (Default: `require('fs')`) The filesystem module to use. Can be used to use `graceful-fs` or to inject a mock. * writeStreamAtomic - (Default: `require('fs-write-stream-atomic')`) The implementation of `writeStreamAtomic` to use. Used to inject a mock. * getuid - (Default: `process.getuid`) A function that returns the current UID. Used to inject a mock.
