Utilities for copying files and reading local and remote files in a consistent way

go-ape

go-ape provides some file utilities in two packages:

• pkg/filecopy for copying files (hence the "ape" in "go-ape")
• pkg/furl for reading local files and remote urls in a consistent way

It was initially developed on macOS and then made to work on Windows.

Installing

Install is easy, all you need to do is

go get github.com/pivotal/go-ape

Usage

Once installed, import go-ape in your application

import "github.com/pivotal/go-ape"

Read files

Then start reading files like so:

content, err := furl.Read(filePath, "")

Here filePath can be a path on the local file system (unix OR windows) or a URL.

Copy

You can also copy files/folders using:

checker := filecopy.NewChecker()
copier := filecopy.NewCopier(os.Stdout, checker)
copier.Copy(outputDir, inputDir)
