Copy is deprecated, what to use instead?

[electrovir]

I'm trying to port a bash command that uses docker cp into a Docker API call through this package. I see that Container.copy exists. I assume that's what I need but that it's marked as deprecated.

What's the alternative to using Container.copy?

It looks like the solution is to use the tar package from npm in conjunction with this package's Container.putArchive method. Like this:

import * as tar from 'tar';
import Docker from 'dockerode';
import {readdir} from 'fs/promises';

const docker = new Docker();
const container = docker.getContainer('container-name-here');

await tar.c(
    {gzip: true, file: 'tar-file-name-here.tar', cwd: 'dir-of-files-to-copy'},
    await readdir('dir-of-files-to-copy'),
);
await container.putArchive('tar-file-name-here.tar', {path: 'container-path-to-copy-to-here'});
