Ride library for abstraction of file archiving.

What's In This Library

Archive

The Archive interface is used to implement a compression algorithm. You can use it to compress files into an archive or to decompress an archive to your file system.

There are 2 implementations provided:

• PharArchive
• ZipArchive

Code Sample

Check this code sample to see how to use this library:

<?php

use ride\library\archive\ZipArchive;
use ride\library\system\file\FileSystem;

function createArchive(FileSystem $fileSystem) {
    // create the archive
    $archiveFile = $fileSystem->getTemporaryFile();
    $archive = new ZipArchive($archiveFile);

    // compress single file in the root of the archive
    $file = $fileSystem->getFile('/my/file');
    $archive->compress($file);

    // compress multiple files in a folder in the archive
    $files = array(
        $fileSystem->getFile('/my/second-file'),
        $fileSystem->getFile('/my/third-file'),
    );
    $archive->compress($files, 'path/in/archive'); 

    // we're done here
    return $archiveFile;
}
