- The library does not require any dependencies.
- Tested on PHP 5.4+, PHP 7, HHVM (on Linux), PHP 5.5 (on Windows).
- Install: `composer require axy/fs-ifs`.
- License: [MIT](LICENSE).

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

[Documentation in Russian](https://github.com/axypro/fs-ifs/wiki).

The library reproduces [built-in file system functions](http://php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php).

Differences:

- The application code to access files not via global functions, and via an object with a particular interface. This object is easily replaced by another implementation. Can use a mock for tests (it does not work with real file system, but with memory).
- [Exceptions](doc/errors.md) instead of WARNINGs.
- Separate class for [work with opened file](doc/IFile.md).
- Several results are structured as objects ([Stat](Stat.md), [MetaData](MetaData.md)) instead associative arrays. It improves the autocomplete.
- Method names are better structured.
- Specific implementations can implement additional features. Log, an isolated directory and etc.

Implementations
---------------

[](#implementations)

This package defines only interfaces. Specific implementations are located in other packages. For example, work with real FS is [axy/fs-real](https://github.com/axypro/fs-real).

Classes and interfaces
----------------------

[](#classes-and-interfaces)

- [IFS](doc/IFS.md) - functions for work with FS.
- [IFile](doc/IFile.md) - opened file.
- [Stat](doc/Stat.md) - result of `stat()`.
- [MetaData](doc/MetaData.md) - meta data of an opened file.
- [Exceptions](doc/errors.md).
- [Factory](doc/Factory.md).
