This packages allows to encode and compress files and directories without the need for them to be written to the filesystem and never loaded entirely in memory.

Note

Each file contained in a `tar` file can't exceed an 8Go size.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require innmind/encoding
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Innmind\Filesystem\{
    Adapter,
    Name,
};
use Innmind\Time\Clock;
use Innmind\Url\Path;
use Innmind\Encoding\{
    Gzip,
    Tar,
};

$adapter = Adapter::mount(Path::of('some/directory/'))->unwrap();
$tar = $adapter
    ->get(Name::of('data'))
    ->map(Tar::encode(Clock::live()))
    ->map(Gzip::compress())
    ->match(
        static fn($file) => $file,
        static fn() => null,
    );
```

Here `$tar` represents a `.tar.gz` file content containing all the files and directories from `some/directory/data/`, unless the `data` doesn't exist then it is `null`.
