TemporaryFilesystem
===================

[](#temporaryfilesystem)

TemporaryFilesystem propose an API for temprary filesystem based on [Symfony Filesystem Component](https://github.com/symfony/filesystem).

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/aa7878f6765d3e08f36db5685c1d83a8dc99260b441166811b4ed7544546831b/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f726f6d61696e6e657574726f6e2f54656d706f726172792d46696c6573797374656d2e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/romainneutron/Temporary-Filesystem)

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Neutron\TemporaryFilesystem\TemporaryFilesystem;

$fs = TemporaryFilesystem::create();
```

API Examples :
--------------

[](#api-examples-)

### CreateTemporaryDirectory

[](#createtemporarydirectory)

CreateTemporaryDirectory creates a temporary directory with an optional mode :

```
$tempDir = $fs->createTemporaryDirectory($mode = 0755);
```

### CreateTemporaryFile

[](#createtemporaryfile)

CreateTemporaryFile creates an empty files in the temporary folder:

```
$fs->createTemporaryFile();

// return an empty temporary files with a "thumb-"
// prefix, '.dcm' as suffix and 'jpg' as extension
$fs->createTemporaryFile('thumb-', '.dcm', 'jpg');
```

### CreateTemporaryFiles

[](#createtemporaryfiles)

CreateTemporaryFiles creates a set of empty files in the temporary folder:

```
// return an array of 5 path to temporary files
$fs->createTemporaryFiles(5);

// return an array of 5 path to empty temporary files with a "thumb-"
// prefix, '.dcm' as suffix and 'jpg' as extension
$fs->createTemporaryFiles(20, 'thumb-', '.dcm', 'jpg');
```

This method is useful when dealing with libraries which encode images depending on the filename extension.

### CreateEmptyFile

[](#createemptyfile)

CreateEmptyFile creates an empty file in the specified folder:

```
// return a path to an empty file inside the current working directory
$fs->createEmptyFile(getcwd());

// return a path to an empty file in the "/home/romain" directory. The file
// has "original." as prefix, ".raw" as suffix and "CR2" as extension.
$fs->createEmptyFile("/home/romain", 'original.', '.raw', 'CR2');
```

This method is particularly useful when dealing with concurrent process writing in the same directory.
