Method: Ing::Files#directory

Defined in:

lib/ing/actions/directory.rb

#directory(source, *args, &block) ⇒ Object

Copies recursively the files from source directory to root directory. If any of the files finishes with .tt, it’s considered to be a template and is placed in the destination without the extension .tt. If any empty directory is found, it’s copied and all .empty_directory files are ignored. If any file name is wrapped within % signs, the text within the % signs will be executed as a method and replaced with the returned value. Let’s suppose a doc directory with the following files:

doc/
  components/.empty_directory
  README
  rdoc.rb.tt
  app_name%.rb

When invoked as:

directory "doc"

It will create a doc directory in the destination with the following files (assuming that the ‘app_name` method returns the value “blog”):

doc/
  components/
  README
  rdoc.rb
  blog.rb

Encoded path note: Since Thor internals use Object#respond_to? to check if it can expand %something%, this ‘something` should be a public method in the class calling #directory. If a method is private, Thor stack raises PrivateMethodEncodedError.

Parameters

source<String>

the relative path to the source root.

destination<String>

the relative path to the destination root.

config<Hash>

give :verbose => false to not log the status. If :recursive => false, does not look for paths recursively.

Examples

directory "doc"
directory "doc", "docs", :recursive => false

def directory(source, *args, &block)
  config = args.last.is_a?(Hash) ? args.pop : {}
  destination = args.first || source
  action Directory.new(self, source, destination || source, config, &block)
