Pathsilo
========

[](#pathsilo)

Generates filesystem paths. Includes name based paths and date based paths.

The intended use case is to facilitate storage and retrieval of "large" numbers of files by storing them in multiple folders.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require jacqball/pathsilo
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
// Generate path based on key string (key can be anything such as a file name)
$ps = new Jacq\PathSilo\PathSilo();
$path = $ps->getPath('SomeTextString');

// Generate path from date string - dates are not validated, if you pass in 8 digits it will operate
$dps =  new Jacq\PathSilo\DatePathSilo();
$path = $dps->getPath('20160831');
```
