[Migrations to 1.x.x version](https://github.com/webdesus/fs_extra/wiki/Migrations-to-1.x.x-version)
## Key features:
* Copy files (optionally with information about the progress).
* Copy directories recursively (optionally with information about the progress).
* Move files (optionally with information about the progress).
* Move directories recursively (optionally with information about the progress).
* One method for create and write `String` content in file.
* One method for open and read `String` content from file.
* Get size folder
* Get collection directory entries

## Usage
Add this to your `Cargo.toml`:
```toml
[dependencies]
fs_extra = "1.1.0"
```
and this to your crate root:
```rust
extern crate fs_extra;
```
## Examples
The following example shows how to copy a directory recursively and to follow the process.
This example created a directory `dir` contains `test1.txt` file and sub directory `sub`. Folder `sub` inside contains `test2.txt` file.
Then copy `./temp/dir` and all containts to `./out/dir`
```rust
use std::path::Path;
use std::{thread, time};
use std::sync::mpsc::{self, TryRecvError};
extern crate fs_extra;
use fs_extra::dir::*;
use fs_extra::error::*;
fn example_copy() -> Result<()> {
let path_from = Path::new("./temp");
let path_to = path_from.join("out");
let test_folder = path_from.join("test_folder");
let dir = test_folder.join("dir");
let sub = dir.join("sub");
let file1 = dir.join("file1.txt");
let file2 = sub.join("file2.txt");
create_all(&sub, true)?;
create_all(&path_to, true)?;
fs_extra::file::write_all(&file1, "content1")?;
fs_extra::file::write_all(&file2, "content2")?;
assert!(dir.exists());
assert!(sub.exists());
assert!(file1.exists());
assert!(file2.exists());
let mut options = CopyOptions::new();
options.buffer_size = 1;
let (tx, rx) = mpsc::channel();
thread::spawn(move || {
let handler = |process_info: TransitProcess| {
tx.send(process_info).unwrap();
thread::sleep(time::Duration::from_millis(500));
fs_extra::dir::TransitProcessResult::ContinueOrAbort
};
copy_with_progress(&test_folder, &path_to, &options, handler).unwrap();
});
loop {
match rx.try_recv() {
Ok(process_info) => {
println!("{} of {} bytes",
process_info.copied_bytes,
process_info.total_bytes);
}
Err(TryRecvError::Disconnected) => {
println!("finished");
break;
}
Err(TryRecvError::Empty) => {}
}
}
Ok(())
}
fn main() {
example_copy();
}
```
