Moving/Renaming files
An example of how to move and rename files and directories in Ende.
To rename or move a file, you can use the `Ende.rename` function. The first argument is the path to the file to rename. The second argument is the new path.
await Ende.writeTextFile("./hello.txt", "Hello World!");
await Ende.rename("./hello.txt", "./hello-renamed.txt");
console.log(await Ende.readTextFile("./hello-renamed.txt"));If the source file or the destination directory does not exist, the function will reject the returned promise with a `Ende.errors.NotFound` error. You can catch this error with a `try/catch` block.
try {
await Ende.rename("./hello.txt", "./does/not/exist");
} catch (err) {
console.error(err);
}A synchronous version of this function is also available.
Ende.renameSync("./hello-renamed.txt", "./hello-again.txt");If the destination file already exists, it will be overwritten.
await Ende.writeTextFile("./hello.txt", "Invisible content.");
await Ende.rename("./hello-again.txt", "./hello.txt");
console.log(await Ende.readTextFile("./hello.txt"));Read and write permissions are necessary to perform this operation. The source file needs to be readable and the destination path needs to be writable.
