This can be helpful if you have temporary files in your projects that need to be cleaned for saving storage. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require marshmallow/laravel-folder-cleaner ``` You can install the package by running the command below. This installation command will publish a config file where you can let the package know what you wish to delete. ``` php artisan folder-cleaner:install ``` The following config file will now be published. ``` return [ /** * You can specify the folders that should be cleaned in * this config array. We will search for these folders * in the root directory of you project. */ 'folders' => [ // '/storage/logs', // '/storage' => [ // 'older_than' => '3 months', // 'except' => [ // 'important.log', // ], // ], // '/storage/app' => [ // 'older_than' => '1 day', // 'match' => '/^export_\d+\.xlsx$/', // ], ], ]; ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` php artisan folder-cleaner:clean {--dry-run} ``` Run with `--dry-run` to print the files that would be deleted without actually removing them. ### Options [](#options) In the config file you can specify a couple of settings to let the package know what should be cleaned. If you just provide a string for a folder, all the files in this folder will be deleted when the command is run. Please not, this doesn't work recursively, folders will not be deleted. ``` return [ 'folders' => [ // '/storage/logs', ] ]; ``` You can also specify some settings as an array after the path of the folder. The example below will delete all files that are older then 3 months, match a patern of export\_{number}.xlsx except for export\_1.xlsx. ``` return [ 'folders' => [ '/storage' => [ 'older_than' => '3 months', 'match' => '/^export_\d+\.xlsx$/', 'except' => [ 'export_1.xlsx', ], ], ] ]; ``` If you have a directory which holds temporary directories that can deleted with all its content, you can use the `delete_folders` options. In the example below, all files in the download directory AND all sub directories in the download directory will be deleted once they are 7 days old. ``` return [ 'folders' => [ '/storage/app/public/download' => [ 'delete_folders' => true, 'older_than' => '7 days', ], ] ]; ``` If you need more options, please let us know. This was enough for our use case at the moment of creating this package.
