Simple file handler
===================

[](#simple-file-handler)

This is a simple library which uses PHP generators to read a file. Think of it as a replacement for the built-in file() function which creates a copy of the file in the memory, thus making it unsuitable for large files.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

As long as the FileHandler class is autoloaded, simply:

```
$streamHandler = new StreamHandler(__DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'data' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'file.txt');

foreach ($streamHandler->getLines() as $line) {
    //Do what you want
}

```

A check is made in the constructor to ensure provided file path exists. If not, an \\InvaliDArgumentException would be thrown.
