Cabinet is a filestore abstraction written in PHP. Filestores map string keys to files.

At the core of Cabinet is the `FileStore` interface, which defines most of the operations you'd find in a normal filesystem (read, write, delete, etc.). By programming to this interface, your application code remains unaware of the underlying filestore implementation.

Abstracting the filestore lets you swap one implementation for another without requiring changes to your application code. For example, you might use S3 in production, a local filesystem in dev, and an array-backed implementation in your unit tests.

Filestore implementations
-------------------------

[](#filestore-implementations)

Cabinet comes with a number of filestore implementations:

- `FilesystemFileStore` stores files in your local filesystem.
- `ArrayFileStore` stores files in a PHP array.
- `NullFileStore` is a black hole like `/dev/null`.

There are two additional wrapper implementations:

- `ReadOnlyFileStore` delegates read and write operations to two separate filestores.
- `MountPointFileStore` provides a way to compose multiple filestores into a virtual filesystem.

To provide a custom implementation, write a class that implements `Cabinet\FileStore`.

Example usage
-------------

[](#example-usage)

You'd typically defer construction of a filestore to a factory constructor:

```
class FileStoreFactory
{
    public static function create() {
        // This might return an implementation based on your app config
        return new \Cabinet\FilesystemFileStore('/tmp/myfiles');
    }
}

```

Then your application code uses the filestore like so:

```
$store = FileStoreFactory::create();
$file = $store->newFile('/foo/bar');
$store->setFileContents($file, 'some data');
$store->close($file);

```

This writes the given data to `/tmp/myfiles/foo/bar`.
