PHP Toolkit - Sorter

This library provides simple abstractions for sort operations.

In version 1.0, toolkit-sorter provides easy sorting of files by various criteria. Files are passed as SplFileInfo objects, e.g. as retrieved from Symfony the Finder component.

Additonal sort algorithms for reuse will be added in later releases.

The current build status and code analysis can be found here:

• Scrutinizer CI

Requirements

• PHP 5.6.0 or higher

Installation

The recommended way to install toolkit-sorter is via composer.

"require": {
    "gmi/toolkit-sorter": "1.0.*"
}

Usage examples

Sorting of SplFileInfo objects

use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\NaturalFileSorter;

$files = ['file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf'];
$fileInfos = [];
foreach ($files as $file) {
    $fileInfos[] = new SplFileInfo($file);
}

$sorter = new NaturalFileSorter();
$sorter->sort($fileInfos);

Sorting of SplFileInfo objects by multiple criteria

use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\GroupSorter;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\ExtensionFileSorter;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\SizeFileSorter;

$files = ['file1.pdf', 'file2.pdf', 'file3.pdf', 'file1.jpg', 'file4.pdf', 'file2.jpg'];
$fileInfos = [];
foreach ($files as $file) {
    $fileInfos[] = new SplFileInfo($file);
}

$sorter = new GroupSorter([new ExtensionFileSorter(), new SizeFileSorter()]);
$sorter->sort($fileInfos);

Sorting Symfony Finder results

use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\SizeFileSorter;

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()->name('/\.jpg$/i')->in($folder);
$files = iterator_to_array($finder);

$sorter = new SizeFileSorter();
$sorter->sort($files);

Direct sorting with Symfony Finder

use Symfony\Component\Finder\Finder;
use Gmi\Toolkit\Sorter\ModificationDateFileSorter;

$finder = new Finder();
$finder->files()->name('/\.jpg$/i')->in($folder);

$sorter = new ModificationDateFileSorter();
$finder->sort($sorter->getClosure());

Tests

The test suite can be run with vendor/bin/phpunit tests.
