Path Finder
===========

[](#path-finder)

[![CI](https://github.com/phpactor/path-finder/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/phpactor/path-finder/workflows/CI/badge.svg)

Library to infer paths from a given path where paths share path segments.

For example, infer test paths for a given source file and vice-versa.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Path finder accepts a hash map of destinations and their schemas. The placeholders can be used to identify common parts of the path.

- The last placeholder is *greedy* it will match all path segments until the suffix.
- Preceding placeholders will only match until the first path separator.

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

### Navigating between test files

[](#navigating-between-test-files)

```
$pathFinder = PathFinder::fromDestinations([
    'source' => 'lib/.php',
    'unit_test' => 'tests/Unit/Test.php',
    'benchmark' => 'benchmarks/Bench.php',
]);

$targets = $pathFinder->targetsFor('lib/Acme/Post.php');

// [
//    'unit_test' => 'tests/Unit/Acme/PostTest.php',
//    'benchmark' => 'benchmarks/Acme/PostBench.php',
// ]
```

### Navigating between files organized by domain/module

[](#navigating-between-files-organized-by-domainmodule)

```
$pathFinder = PathFinder::fromDestinations([
    'source' => 'lib//.php',
    'unit_test' => 'tests//Unit/Test.php',
    'benchmark' => 'benchmarks//Bench.php',
]);

$targets = $pathFinder->targetsFor('lib/MyModule/Acme/Post.php');

// [
//    'unit_test' => 'tests/MyModule/Unit/Acme/PostTest.php',
//    'benchmark' => 'benchmarks/MyModule/Acme/PostBench.php',
// ]
```
