Problem Statement
The File class supports read, write, create, and remove, but has no way to copy or move a file. Users must manually read + write + remove to achieve this.
Proposed Solution
Add two methods:
copy(string $destination): File — copies the file to a new path, returns a new File instance for the copymoveTo(string $destination): void — moves the file to a new path, updates the current instance's path
Alternatives Considered
- Only adding
copy() and implementing moveTo() as copy + remove
Breaking Change
No
