```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### PHP (Livewire/Blade)

[](#php-livewireblade)

```
use Native\Mobile\Facades\File;

// Move a file
$result = File::move('/path/to/source.txt', '/path/to/destination.txt');

if ($result['success']) {
    echo 'File moved successfully!';
}

// Copy a file
$result = File::copy('/path/to/source.txt', '/path/to/copy.txt');

if ($result['success']) {
    echo 'File copied successfully!';
}
```

### JavaScript (Vue/React/Inertia)

[](#javascript-vuereactinertia)

```
import { File } from '#nativephp';

// Move a file
const result = await File.move('/path/to/source.txt', '/path/to/destination.txt');

if (result.success) {
    console.log('File moved successfully!');
}

// Copy a file
const result = await File.copy('/path/to/source.txt', '/path/to/copy.txt');

if (result.success) {
    console.log('File copied successfully!');
}
```

Methods
-------

[](#methods)

### `move(string $from, string $to): array`

[](#movestring-from-string-to-array)

Moves a file from source to destination.

ParameterTypeDescription`from`stringSource file path`to`stringDestination file path**Returns:**

- `success: bool` - Whether the operation succeeded
- `error: string` - Error message if operation failed (optional)

### `copy(string $from, string $to): array`

[](#copystring-from-string-to-array)

ParameterTypeDescription`from`stringSource file path`to`stringDestination file path**Returns:**

- File integrity is verified after copy operations

use Native\Mobile\Facades\File;

$tempPath = '/var/mobile/Containers/Data/tmp/recording.m4a';

if ($result['success']) {
    // File moved successfully
}
```
