Some utilities to manipulate files, directories and paths.

You can install it from Composer. In your project:

composer require "jelix/file-utilities"

The File class allows you to read and write file contents. write() method allows changing the content of an existing file by not writing into it directly, avoiding write lock.

The Directory class allows to delete the content of a directory recursively, and even to do it without deleteting specific files.

For both File and Directory classes, chmod values can be set globally or specifically, when they create a file or a directory.

The Path class allows cleaning up a path, to resolve a path against another, or to get the shortest path between two paths. All of its methods work on path string and do not rely on the file system. So paths can represent files/directories that do not exist.

Most of the methods of the first version come originally from the jFile class of Jelix 1.6. https://jelix.org
