Zealot/Filesystem
=================

[](#zealotfilesystem)

Lib to find/read/write text/csv files. Note only for unix like systems

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

```
//1) Directory class uses to find files. (Note: it isn't recursive)
//Example:

$path = '/tmp/';
$dir = new Directory($path);

//find all files
$filesCollection = $dir->files(); // not required param $limit. not required param $filterOutDotStartElements (set true to skip hidden files)
echo 'all non hidden files in dir: ' . PHP_EOL;
$filesCollection->var_dump();

//find all dirs
$dirsCollection = $dir->directories(); // not required param $limit. not required param $filterOutDotStartElements (set true to skip . and .. dirs)
echo 'all non dot-start dirs in dir: ' . PHP_EOL;
$dirsCollection->var_dump();

//find elements by regex that ends on '.csv'
$filesCollection = $dir->find('\.csv$'); // not required param $limit. not required param $filterOutDotStartElements (set true to skip hidden files)

//$filesCollection is an instance of FileCollection
echo 'all files with ".csv" ending in dir: ' . PHP_EOL;
foreach($filesCollection as $fileInfo) {
    //$file is an instance of FileInfo
    echo $fileInfo->getRealPath() . PHP_EOL;
}

//read file as csv
$file = $filesCollection[0];
$reader = $filesCollection[0]->csvReader();
echo 'Read first ".csv" ending file in dir: ' . PHP_EOL;
//foreach would not return first line, it starts from second line and returns assoc array combined from
//fist line data and line data, content of firs line will be the keys of the line
foreach ($reader as $i => $dataLine) {
    $lineNum = $i+1;
    echo "Line $lineNum" . PHP_EOL;
    var_dump($dataLine);
}
/** Output example:
Read first ".csv" ending file in dir:

Line 2
array(2) {
    ["city"]=>
        string(4) "kiev"
    ["size"]=>
        string(3) "big"
}
Line 3
array(2) {
    ["city"]=>
        string(5) "london"
    ["size"]=>
        string(3) "big"
}
Line 4
array(2) {
    ["city"]=>
        string(4) "NY"
    ["size"]=>
        string(6) "huge"
}
