Streams
=======

[](#streams)

The "streams" package offers an extended version of [PSR-7's](https://www.php-fig.org/psr/psr-7/#13-streams) defined `StreamInterface`; a wrapper for common stream operations, mostly intended for file streams.

```
use Aedart\Streams\FileStream;

$stream = FileStream::open('my-file.txt')
    ->put('Hi there');

$more = FileStream::openMemory()
    ->put("\nMore things to show...")
    ->positionToStart();

$stream
    ->append($more);

echo (string) $stream; // Hi there
                       // More things to show...
```

Motivation
----------

[](#motivation)

There are many good alternatives to this package. Sadly, some of those alternatives makes it unreasonably difficult to extend their offered functionality.

```
use Aedart\Streams\FileStream;

class TranscriptFileStream extends FileStream
{
    // ...your domain-specific logic here ...
}
```
