The copyFile function copies a file in Google Drive by its ID and assigns a new title, and returns the ID of the copied file. It uses the drive.files.copy method and the authorizeGoogleDrive function to authenticate and perform the file copy operation.

Run example

npm run import -- "copy a file on google drive"

copy a file on google drive

var util = require('util');
var importer = require('../Core');
var authorizeDrive = importer.import("authorize google drive");

function copyFile(fileId, title) {
    return authorizeDrive()
        .then(drive => util.promisify(drive.files.copy.bind(drive))({
            fileId: fileId,
            resource: {name: title},
            convert: true
        }))
        .then(r => r.data.id)
}

module.exports = copyFile;

Function Breakdown: copyFile

Parameters

• fileId: The ID of the file to be copied
• title: The desired title of the copied file

Functionality

• Requires the util and importer modules
• Imports the authorizeGoogleDrive function from the ../Core module
• Calls authorizeGoogleDrive() which returns a promise that resolves to a drive object
• Uses util.promisify to convert the drive.files.copy method to a promise-returning function
• Calls drive.files.copy with the file ID, a resource object containing the desired file title, and the convert: true option
• Returns a promise that resolves to the ID of the copied file

Export

• The copyFile function is exported as a module, making it available for use in other parts of the application.
