This project aims to provide quick and easy in-file persisting capabilities.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The projec is composed by 3 main classes:

- `ValuePocket`: This class stores just a single value of any type. It requires the path of the file where the data will be persisted. Optionally, you can pass a default value that will be returned if nothing has been stored yet. For example:

    ```
    use carlosV2\Pocket\ValuePocket;

    $pocket = new ValuePocket('/path/to/the/file', 42);
    $pocket->load(); // Returns: 42

    $pocket->save(4);
    $pocket->load(); // Returns: 4
    ```
- `CollectionPocket`: This class stores a collection of values of any type. It requries the path of the file where the data will be persisted. For example:

    ```
    use carlosV2\Pocket\CollectionPocket;

    $pocket = new CollectionPocket('/path/to/the/file');
    $pocket->add('a');
    $pocket->add(1);
    $pocket->add(true);

    $pocket->getValues(); // Returns: ['a', 1, true]
    ```
- `IndexedPocket`: This class stores an indexed collection of values of any type. It requires the path of the file where the data will be persisted. For example:

    ```
    use carlosV2\Pocket\IndexedPocket;

    $pocket = new IndexedPocket('/path/to/the/file');
    $pocket->add('key1', 'a');
    $pocket->add('key2', 1);
    $pocket->add('key3', true);

    $pocket->getValues(); // Returns: ['a', 1, true]
    $pocket->getKeys(); // Returns: ['key1', 'key2', 'key3']
    ```

Additionally, a manager class is provided so that a single folder path is needed. The files management is carried out by this class. Additionally, it can perform maintenance task. For example:

```
use carlosV2\Pocket\PocketManager;

$manager = new PocketManager('/path/to/the/folder/');

$manager->getValuePocket(); // Returns an instance of ValuePocket
$manager->getCollectionPocket(); // Returns an instance of CollectionPocket
$manager->getIndexedPocket(); // Returns an instance of IndexedPocket

$manager->clear(); // Removes any file inside /path/to/the/folder/ folder
```
