Question

I have add below PnP JS code but it's not working correctly and throwing error "Property 'moveByPath' does not exist on type 'Folder'".

});

Answer 1

Try using moveTo() like below:

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import "@pnp/sp/webs";
import "@pnp/sp/folders";

// destination is a server-relative url of a new folder
const destinationUrl = `/sites/my-site/SiteAssets/new-folder`;

await sp.web.rootFolder.folders.getByName("SiteAssets").folders.getByName("My Folder").moveTo(destinationUrl);

Source: @pnp/sp/folders - move

OR

Use moveByPath like below:

import { sp } from "@pnp/sp";
import "@pnp/sp/webs";
import "@pnp/sp/folders";

// destination is a server-relative url of a new folder
const destinationUrl = `/sites/my-site/SiteAssets/new-folder`;

await sp.web.rootFolder.folders.getByName("SiteAssets").folders.getByName("My Folder").moveByPath(destinationUrl, true);

Source: @pnp/sp/folders - move by path

Note:

1. moveByPth is added in version 2.0.2. So, use latest version of PnP JS.
