Move a file or directory

Use osf_mv() to move a file or directory to a new project, component, or subdirectory.

Usage

osf_mv(x, to, overwrite = FALSE, verbose = FALSE)

Arguments

x

An osf_tbl_file containing a single file or directory.

to

Destination where the file or directory will be moved. This can be one of the following:

• An osf_tbl_node with a single project or component.

• An osf_tbl_file with a single directory.

overwrite

Logical, if a file or directory with the same name already exists at the destination should it be replaced with x?

verbose

Logical, indicating whether to print informative messages about interactions with the OSF API (default FALSE).

Value

An osf_tbl_file containing the updated OSF file.

Details

Note that a file (or directory) cannot be moved or copied onto itself, even if overwrite = TRUE.

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Create an example file to upload to our example project
project <- osf_create_project("Flower Data")

write.csv(iris, file = "iris.csv")
data_file <- osf_upload(project,"iris.csv")

# Create a new directory to move our file to
data_dir <- osf_mkdir(project, "data")

# Move the file to our data directory
data_file <- osf_mv(data_file, to = data_dir)

# Move our data directory to a new component
data_comp <- osf_create_component(project, title = "data", category = "data")
data_dir %>%
  osf_mv(to = data_comp) %>%
  osf_open()
} # }
