Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Simple create a directory

[](#simple-create-a-directory)

To create a directory, use the `create()` method. If you use the `create()` method without parameters, then the directory will be created in the temporary system folder by default.

```
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use Grinderspro\DirectoryManipulator\DirectoryManipulator;

(new DirectoryManipulator())->create();
```

Create many directories

```
$dm = (new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/')->clear();

for ($i=1; $iname('gm'.$i)->create();
}
```

Create directory - "/var/tmp/{time()}"

```
(new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/')->name()->create();
```

Create directory - "/var/tmp/grinderspro"

```
(new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/')->name('grinderspro')->create();
```

```
(new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/grinderspro')->create();
```

```
if((new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/grinderspro')->create())
    return true;
```

To get the full path of the newly created directory, use the `path()` method without parameters.

```
$dirName = (new DirectoryManipulator())->create('/var/tmp/')->name()->path();
```

### Delete directories

[](#delete-directories)

```
(new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/')->name('grinderspro')->delete();
```

```
(new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/grinderspro')->delete();
```

### Clear directory

[](#clear-directory)

```
(new DirectoryManipulator())->location('/var/tmp/grinderspro')->clear();
```
