Payload​

The server needs to receive a JSON object with the next parameters:

  • operation (string) - (required) the operation name which can be "copy" or "move"
  • target (string) - (required) the path to a folder where to move/copy files
  • ids (array) - (required) ids of files and/or folders to be moved/copied (which are paths to files and folders)

Example:

  operation: "move",
  target: "/Code",

}

Response​

The server returns a JSON object with the result array of moved/copied files (with a new id and new name for each file)

Example:

{
  result:
  [
    {
      id: "/Code/Music",
      name:"/Music"
    },

      name:"/Cards"
    },

The HTTP status code shows whether the request succeeds (response.status == 200) or fails (response.status == 500). In case of a failure the error text is returned.
