npm copyfiles not correct target path

Question

I'm using the npm package "copyfiles" in my buildscript. But the target directory is not that what I expected.

"copy-template": "copyfiles \"./src/**/*.html\" \"dist\"",

My base directory structure is:

src/pages/.../htmlfiles

What I want is:

dist/pages/.../htmlfiles

so the same structure as before without "src" In the moment I have always the src directory in my dist folder.

dist/src/pages/../htmlfiles

Maybe you have some hints for me?

Change your script as follows:

...
"scripts": {
  "copy-template": "copyfiles -u 1 \"./src/**/*.html\" \"dist\"",
  ...
},
...

Note, the addition of the --up or -u option as explained in the docs.
