copy
This block is part of the files group and was last modified in core v15.0.0.
copy v15.0.0 Copies the given files into a destination directory, keeping each file's original name. The destination directory is a folder path (created if missing), not a full path including the filename : e.g. /public/uploads copies hero.png to /public/uploads/hero.png. Place the directory under /public/… to make the copies publicly servable via /static/…. To rename the copy, set the optional filename pin (single source file only). To fan one file out to several full paths and/or names at once, use the file spread block instead.

hero.png). Only meaningful when copying a single file : with multiple input files they would all collide on the same name. - overwrite required

A typical wiring for copy: concatenate values feeds the value pin; true feeds the overwrite pin; get file from assets feeds the file pin; the flow out pin feeds branch; the file out pin feeds get image size.

- branch: this block feeds into it.
- create: feeds into this block. Creates a new function that can be executed using the given name.
- concatenate values: feeds into this block.
- true: feeds into this block. Gives the condition true hard-coded.
- get image size: this block feeds into it. Returns the dimensions of the image given.
