PHP Toolkit - Sorter
====================

[](#php-toolkit---sorter)

This library provides simple abstractions for sort operations.

In version 1.0, toolkit-sorter provides easy sorting of files by various criteria. Files are passed as `SplFileInfo` objects, e.g. as retrieved from Symfony the Finder component.

Additonal sort algorithms for reuse will be added in later releases.

The current build status and code analysis can be found here:

- [Scrutinizer CI](https://scrutinizer-ci.com/g/gmitirol/toolkit-sorter/)

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.6.0 or higher

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

The recommended way to install toolkit-sorter is via composer.

```
"require": {
    "gmi/toolkit-sorter": "1.0.*"
}
```

Usage examples
--------------

[](#usage-examples)

Sorting of SplFileInfo objects

```
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\NaturalFileSorter;

$files = ['file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf'];
$fileInfos = [];
foreach ($files as $file) {
    $fileInfos[] = new SplFileInfo($file);
}

$sorter = new NaturalFileSorter();
$sorter->sort($fileInfos);
```

Sorting of SplFileInfo objects by multiple criteria

```
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\GroupSorter;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\ExtensionFileSorter;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\SizeFileSorter;

$files = ['file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf', 'file3.pdf', 'file1.jpg', 'file4.pdf', 'file2.jpg'];
$fileInfos = [];
foreach ($files as $file) {
    $fileInfos[] = new SplFileInfo($file);
}

$sorter = new GroupSorter([new ExtensionFileSorter(), new SizeFileSorter()]);
$sorter->sort($fileInfos);
```

Sorting Symfony Finder results

```
use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\SizeFileSorter;

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()->name('/\.jpg$/i')->in($folder);
$files = iterator_to_array($finder);

$sorter = new SizeFileSorter();
$sorter->sort($files);
```

Direct sorting with Symfony Finder

```
use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\ModificationDateFileSorter;

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()->name('/\.jpg$/i')->in($folder);

$sorter = new ModificationDateFileSorter();
$finder->sort($sorter->getClosure());
```
