README

This package, for Laravel applications, allows you to read the contents of huge files without killing your server, that is, without having to load all the contents at once in memory causing an out-of-memory errors.

The strategy used here is to read the contents of the file, line by line, optimizing the use of server resources and, most importantly, in an efficient way.

It is also possible to paginate the contents of the file, again, without having to load it entirely into memory, except the page itself.

use FruiVita\LineReader\Facades\LineReader;

$generator = LineReader::readLines($file_path);

// or

$length_aware_paginator = LineReader::readPaginatedLines($file_path, $per_page, $page);

Notes

⭐ Internally, this package reads the file contents using php's SplFileObject and Generators classes. In the specific case of pagination, the LimitIterator class is used to delimit the beginning and end of the content to be read.

❤️ Heavily inspired by the bcremer/LineReader package.

Installation

1. Install via composer:

2. Optionally publish the translations

   php artisan vendor:publish --provider='FruiVita\LineReader\LineReaderServiceProvider' --tag='lang'

   The strings available for translation are as follows. Change them as needed.

   {
       "The file entered could not be read": "The file entered could not be read"
   }

   This package already has translations for en and pt-br.

How it works

1. Reading a file line by line.

   use FruiVita\LineReader\Facades\LineReader;
   
   public function example()
   {
       foreach (LineReader::readLines($file_path) as $key => $line)
       {
           // $key is 0 when reading the 1st line, 1 when reading the 2nd line, and so on.
           // $line is a string with the contents of the line.
       }
   }

    

   LineReader exposes the following method to read the file line by line:

   ✏️ readLines

   use FruiVita\LineReader\Facades\LineReader;
   
   /**
    * @param string $file_path full path of the file to be read
    * 
    * @throws \FruiVita\LineReader\Exceptions\FileNotReadableException
    *
    * @return \Generator
    */
   LineReader::readLines(string $file_path);

    

   🚨 Exceptions:

   • readLines throws \FruiVita\LineReader\Exceptions\FileNotReadableException if don't have read permission on the file or it can't be found

    

2. Reading the file by page.

   use FruiVita\LineReader\Facades\LineReader;
   
   public function example()
   {
       $per_page = 15;
       $page = 2;
   
       $length_aware_paginator = LineReader::readPaginatedLines(string $file_path, int $per_page, int $page);
       
       // The index of the items in the collection respects their position in the file using a zero-based index,
       // that is, in the example above the 1st item on page 2 will have index 15, since it is the 16th line of
       // the file and the last item on page 2 will have index 29, since it is the 30th line of the file.
   }

    

   LineReader exposes the following method to read the file by page:

   ✏️ readPaginatedLines

   use FruiVita\LineReader\Facades\LineReader;
   
   /**
    * @param string $file_path full path of the file to be read
    * @param int    $per_page
    * @param int    $page
    * @param string $page_name
    *
    * @throws \FruiVita\LineReader\Exceptions\FileNotReadableException
    * @throws \InvalidArgumentException
    * 
    * @return \Illuminate\Pagination\LengthAwarePaginator
    */
   LineReader::readPaginatedLines(string $file_path, int $per_page, int $page, string $page_name = 'page');

    

   🚨 Exceptions:

   • readPaginatedLines throws \FruiVita\LineReader\Exceptions\FileNotReadableException if don't have read permission on the file or it can't be found
   • readPaginatedLines throws \InvalidArgumentException if per_page or page is less than 1
