DESCRIPTION

This module makes it easier to use the file system.

Modules File::Path, File::Slurper and File::Find is burdened with various features that are rarely used, but require time to become familiar with and thereby increase the barrier to entry.

Aion::Fs uses the KISS programming principle - the simpler the better!

The IO::All supermodule is not a competitor to Aion::Fs, because uses an OOP approach, and Aion::Fs is FP.

OOP - object-oriented programming.
FP - functional programming.

SUBROUTINES/METHODS

cat ($file)

Reads the file. If no parameter is specified, use $_.

cat "/etc/passwd"  # ~> root

cat reads with layer :utf8. But you can specify another layer like this:

lay "unicode.txt", "↯";
length cat "unicode.txt"            # -> 1
length cat["unicode.txt", ":raw"]   # -> 3

cat throws an exception if the I/O operation fails:

eval { cat "A" }; $@  # ~> cat A: No such file or directory

--timeout 13

lay ($file?, $content)

Writes $content to $file.

If one parameter is specified, use $_ instead of $file.
lay, uses the :utf8 layer. To specify a different layer, use an array of two elements in the $file parameter:

lay "unicode.txt", "↯"  # => unicode.txt
lay ["unicode.txt", ":raw"], "↯"  # => unicode.txt

eval { lay "/", "↯" }; $@ # ~> lay /: Is a directory

--timeout 13

find (;$path, @filters)

Recursively traverses and returns paths from the specified path or paths if $path is an array reference. Without parameters, uses $_ as $path.

Filters can be:

By subroutine - the path to the current file is passed to $_, and the subroutine must return true or false, as understood by Perl.
Regexp - tests each path with a regular expression.
String in the form "-Xxx", where Xxx is one or more characters. Similar to Perl operators for testing files. Example: -fr checks the path with file testers LLhttps://perldoc.perl.org/functions/-X.
The remaining lines are turned by the wildcard function (see below) into a regular expression to test each path.

Paths that fail the @filters check are not returned.

If the -X filter is not a perl file function, an exception is thrown:

eval { find "example", "-h" }; $@   # ~> Undefined subroutine &Aion::Fs::h called

In this example, find cannot enter the subdirectory and passes an error to the errorenter function (see below) with the $_ and $! variables set (to the directory path and the OS error message).

Attention! If errorenter is not specified, then all errors are ignored!

mkpath ["example/", 0];

[find "example"]                  # --> ["example"]
[find "example", noenter "-d"]    # --> ["example"]

eval { find "example", errorenter { die "find $_: $!" } }; $@   # ~> find example: Permission denied

mkpath for qw!ex/1/11 ex/1/12 ex/2/21 ex/2/22!;

my $count = 0;
find "ex", sub { find_stop if ++$count == 3; 1}  # -> 2

--timeout 13

noenter (@filters)

Tells find not to enter directories matching the filters behind it.

errorenter (&block)

Calls &block for every error that occurs when a directory cannot be entered.

find_stop ()

Stops find being called in one of its filters, errorenter or noenter.

my $count = 0;
find "ex", sub { find_stop if ++$count == 3; 1}  # -> 2

erase (@paths)

Removes files and empty directories. Returns @paths. If there is an I/O error, it throws an exception.

eval { erase "/" }; $@  # ~> erase dir /: Device or resource busy
eval { erase "/dev/null" }; $@  # ~> erase file /dev/null: Permission denied

--timeout 13

replace (&sub, @files)

Replaces each file with $_ if it is modified by &sub. Returns files that have no replacements.

@files can contain arrays of two elements. The first is treated as a path and the second as a layer. The default layer is :utf8.

&sub is called for each file in @files. It transmits:

$_ - file contents.
$a — path to the file.
$b — the layer by which the file was read and by which it will be written.

In the example below, the file "replace.ex" is read by the :utf8 layer and written by the :raw layer in the replace function:

local $_ = "replace.ex";
lay "abc";
replace { $b = ":utf8"; y/a/¡/ } [$_, ":raw"];
cat  # => ¡bc

--timeout 13

mkpath (;$path)

Like mkdir -p, but considers the last part of the path (after the last slash) to be a filename and does not create it as a directory. Without a parameter, uses $_.

If $path is not specified, use $_.
If $path is an array reference, then the path is used as the first element and rights as the second element.
The default permission is 0755.
Returns $path.

local $_ = ["A", 0755];
mkpath   # => A

eval { mkpath "/A/" }; $@   # ~> mkpath /A: Permission denied

mkpath "A///./file";
-d "A"  # -> 1

--timeout 13

<File::Path> - mkpath("dir1/dir2").
<File::Path::Tiny> - File::Path::Tiny::mk($path). Does not throw exceptions.

mtime (;$path)

Modification time of $path in unixtime with fractional part (from Time::HiRes::stat). Without a parameter, uses $_.

Throws an exception if the file does not exist or does not have permission:

local $_ = "nofile";
eval { mtime }; $@  # ~> mtime nofile: No such file or directory

mtime ["/"]   # ~> ^\d+(\.\d+)?$

--timeout 13

sta (;$path)

Returns statistics about the file. Without a parameter, uses $_.

To be used with other file functions, it can receive a reference to an array from which it takes the first element as the file path.

Throws an exception if the file does not exist or does not have permission:

local $_ = "nofile";
eval { sta }; $@  # ~> sta nofile: No such file or directory

sta(["/"])->{ino} # ~> ^\d+$
sta(".")->{atime} # ~> ^\d+(\.\d+)?$

--timeout 13

<Fcntl> – contains constants for mode recognition.
<BSD::stat> - optionally returns atime, ctime and mtime in nanoseconds, user flags and file generation number. Has an OOP interface.
<File::chmod> – chmod("o=,g-w","file1","file2"), @newmodes = getchmod("+x","file1","file2").
<File::stat> – provides an OOP interface to stat.
<File::Stat::Bits> – similar to <Fcntl>.
<File::stat::Extra> – extends <File::stat> with methods to obtain information about the mode, and also reloads -X, <=>, cmp and ~~ operators and stringified.
<File::Stat::Ls> – returns the mode in the format of the ls utility.
<File::Stat::Moose> – OOP interface for Moose.
<File::Stat::OO> – provides an OOP interface to stat. Can return atime, ctime and mtime at once in DateTime.
<File::Stat::Trigger> – monitors changes in file attributes.
<Linux::stat> – parses /proc/stat and returns additional information. However, it does not work on other OSes.
<Stat::lsMode> – returns the mode in the format of the ls utility.
<VMS::Stat> – returns VMS ACLs.

path (;$path)

Splits a file path into its components or assembles it from its components.

--timeout 13

Connects $pkg (if it has not already been connected via use or require) and returns it. Without a parameter, uses $_.

lib/A.pm file:

package A;
sub new { bless {@_}, shift }
1;

lib/N.pm file:

package N;
sub ex { 123 }
1;



use lib "lib";
include("A")->new               # ~> A=HASH\(0x\w+\)
[map include, qw/A N/]          # --> [qw/A N/]
{ local $_="N"; include->ex }   # -> 123

catonce (;$file)

Reads the file for the first time. Any subsequent attempt to read this file returns undef. Used to insert js and css modules into the resulting file. Without a parameter, uses $_.

$file can contain arrays of two elements. The first is treated as a path and the second as a layer. The default layer is :utf8.
If $file is not specified, use $_.

local $_ = "catonce.txt";
lay "result";
catonce  # -> "result"
catonce  # -> undef

eval { catonce[] }; $@ # ~> catonce not use ref path!

wildcard (;$wildcard)

Converts a file mask to a regular expression. Without a parameter, uses $_.

** - [^/]*
* - .*
? - .
?? - [^/]
{ - (
} - )
, - |
Other characters are escaped using quotemeta.

wildcard "*.{pm,pl}"  # \> (?^usn:^.*?\.(pm|pl)$)
wildcard "?_??_**"  # \> (?^usn:^._[^/]_[^/]*?$)

Used in filters of the find function.

goto_editor ($path, $line)

Opens the file in the editor from .config at the specified line. Defaults to vscodium %p:%l.

.config.pm file:

package config;

config_module 'Aion::Fs' => {
    EDITOR => 'echo %p:%l > ed.txt',
};

1;



goto_editor "mypath", 10;
cat "ed.txt"  # => mypath:10\n

eval { goto_editor "`", 1 }; $@  # ~> `:1 --> 512

from_pkg (;$pkg)

Transfers the packet to the FS path. Without a parameter, uses $_.

from_pkg "Aion::Fs"  # => Aion/Fs.pm
[map from_pkg, "Aion::Fs", "A::B::C"]  # --> ["Aion/Fs.pm", "A/B/C.pm"]

to_pkg (;$path)

Translates the path from the FS to the package. Without a parameter, uses $_.

to_pkg "Aion/Fs.pm"  # => Aion::Fs
[map to_pkg, "Aion/Fs.md", "A/B/C.md"]  # --> ["Aion::Fs", "A::B::C"]
