A nice API to write CSV files.
==============================

[](#a-nice-api-to-write-csv-files)

This is just a very light weight package to write to a csv file, it's basically a wrapper around `fputcsv`. It also handles the file's creation, opening and closing.

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require yazanstash/csv
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$file = YazanStash\Csv::create();
// or
$file = YazanStash\Csv::create('/home/stash/Desktop/export.csv');

$file->delimiter('|')->enclosure("'")->write(['Hola Amigo!']);
```

You can choose between providing a file path and name to the `create()` method or letting it generate one, by default the generated file is located at `/tmp/{random-file-name}.csv`.
**Caution:** If the file already exists, the package will overwrite it.

#### Customizing the write parameters

[](#customizing-the-write-parameters)

To customize the parameters of writing, you have 3 dynamic methods available at your disposal, `delimiter()`, `enclosure()` and `escapeCharacter()`. Passing an argument will change the value, and calling the method without it will give you the current value of it. In the case of overwriting the value, it will give you back the object for those sick chains ;)

#### Writing to file

[](#writing-to-file)

Use the `write()` method to write new lines to the file, the method expects an array of values to be written.
each call to `write()` will create a new line.

#### Getting the file path back

[](#getting-the-file-path-back)

To get the written file path back, just call `filePath()` on the instance.

#### Manually closing the file

[](#manually-closing-the-file)

If you need to close the file manually for some reason (the package automatically does that upon destructing the instance), you can call `closeFile()` on the instance.

### Testing
