$info = File::info('/var/www/config/insurance.csv');

Which will return an array like this

Array
(
    [name] => insurance.csv
    [directory] => /var/www/config
    [timestamp] => 1560067334
    [size] => 1878
    [extension] => csv
    [type] => text/plain
)

Append

File::append('/path/somefile','and here.');

Delete

To delete a file

File::delete('/path/somefile');

Exists

To check if file exists

$result = File::exists('/path/somefile');

Tmp

When needing to work with temporary files, use tmp, this will create the file, put the contents and return to you the name of the file with path.

$tmpFile = File::tmp('Some temp data');

Copy

File::copy('/path/somefile','somefile-backup');
File::copy('/path/somefile','/another_path/somefile');

Rename

File::move('/path/somefile','/another_path/somefile');

Permissions

Get Permissions

To get the permissions of a file

$permissions = File::perms('/path/somefile'); // returns 0744

Changing Permissions (chmod)

To change the permissions of a file.

File::chmod('/path/somefile','www-data');

Getting the owner of the file

$owner = File::owner('/path/somefile'); // returns root

Changing Ownership (chown)

To change the ownership of a file

File::chown('/path/somefile','www-data');

Getting the group

To get the group that the file belongs to.

$group = File::group('/path/somefile'); // returns root

Changing Group (chgrp)

To change the group that the file belongs to.

File::chgrp('/path/somefile','www-data');

Folder

The folder utility helps you work with folders on your file system.

To use the Folder utility add the following to the top of your file.

use Origin\Filesystem\Folder

Create

To create a folder

Folder::create('/var/www/new_folder');

To create a folder recursively

Folder::create('/var/www/level1/level2/level3/new_folder',['recursive'=>true]);

To set the permissions on the newly created folder

Folder::create('/var/www/new_folder',['mode'=>0755]);

Delete

To delete a folder

Folder::delete('/var/www/bye-bye')

To delete a folder recursively, including all files and sub directories.

Folder::delete('/var/www/docs',['recursive'=>true])

Exists

To check if a directory exists

$result = Folder::exists('/path/somedirectory');

List

As of version 2.0 released 26.09.20 list results are different, path now includes the filename.

To list all contents of a directory

$results = Folder::list('/path/somedirectory');

This will return an array of arrays of FileObjects

[
    Origin\Filesystem\FileObject Object
    (
        'name' => 'foo.txt',
        'directory' => '/var/www/my_directory',
        'path' =>  '/var/www/my_directory/foo.txt',
        'extension' => 'txt',
        'timestamp' => 14324234,
        'size' => 1234,
        'type' => 'file'
    )
]

When the FileObject is converted to a string it will become a path e.g. /var/www/my_directory/foo.txt.

foreach(Folder::list('/data') as $file){
    $contents = file_get_contents($file->path); // or (string) $file
}

You can also get the listing recursively

$results = Folder::list('/path/somedirectory',['recursive'=>true]);

To include directories in the results

$results = Folder::list('/path/somedirectory',['directories'=>true]);

Copy

To copy a directory

Folder::copy('/path/somedir','somedir-backup');
Folder::copy('/path/somedir','/another_path/somedir');

Rename

To rename a directory

Folder::rename('/path/somedir','new_name');

Move

To move a directory

Folder::move('/path/somedir','/another_path/somedir');
