Gaufrette ========= Gaufrette is a PHP5 library that provides a filesystem abstraction layer. This project is under intensive development but we do not want to break BC. [![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/KnpLabs/Gaufrette.png)](http://travis-ci.org/KnpLabs/Gaufrette) Why use Gaufrette? ------------------ Imagine you have to manage a lot of medias in a PHP project. Lets see how to take this situation in your advantage using Gaufrette. The filesystem abstraction layer permits you to develop your application without the need to know were all those medias will be stored and how. Another advantage of this is the possibility to update the files location without any impact on the code apart from the definition of your filesystem. In example, if your project grows up very fast and if your server reaches its limits, you can easily move your medias in an Amazon S3 server or any other solution. Try it! ------- ### Setup your filesystem Following an example with the local filesystem adapter. To setup other adapters, look up the [testcases](https://github.com/KnpLabs/Gaufrette/tree/master/tests/Gaufrette/Functional/adapters). ```php read('myFile'); $content = 'Hello I am the new content'; $filesystem->write('myFile', $content); ``` ### Use file objects Gaufrette also provide a File class that is a representation of files in a filesystem ```php setContent('Hello World'); echo $file->getContent(); // Hello World ``` ### Cache a slow filesystem If you have to deal with a slow filesystem, it is out of question to use it directly. So, you need a cache! Happily, Gaufrette offers a cache system ready for use. It consist of an adapter itself composed of two adapters: * The *source* adapter that should be cached * The *cache* adapter that is used to cache Here is an example of how to cache an ftp filesystem: ```php 'your username', 'password' => 'your Keystone password', 'tenantName' => 'your tenant (project) name' )); $objectStore = $connection->ObjectStore('cloudFiles', 'LON', 'publicURL'); $adapter = new Gaufrette\Adapter\OpenCloud( $objectStore, 'container-name' ); $filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter); ``` ### Rackspace Rackspace uses a difference connection class ```php $connection = new OpenCloud\Rackspace( 'https://identity.api.rackspacecloud.com/v2.0/', array( 'username' => 'rackspace-user', 'apiKey' => '0900af093093788912388fc09dde090ffee09' )); ``` Using AzureBlobStorage ---------------------- Azure Blob Storage is the storage service provided by Microsoft Windows Azure cloud environment. To use this adapter you need to install the [Azure SDK for php](http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/php/common-tasks/download-php-sdk/) into your project. To instantiate the `AzureBlobStorage` adapter you need a `BlobProxyFactoryInterface` instance (you can use the default `BlobProxyFactory` class) and a connection string. The connection string should follow this prototype: BlobEndpoint=https://XXXXXXXXXX.blob.core.windows.net/;AccountName=XXXXXXXX;AccountKey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX You should be able to find your **endpoint**, **account name** and **account key** in your [Windows Azure management console](https://manage.windowsazure.com). Thanks to the blob proxy factory, the adapter lazy loads the connection to the endpoint, so it will not create any connection until it's really needed (eg. when a read or write operation is issued). Follows a simple example on how to build the adapter: ```php $connectionString = '...'; $factory = new Gaufrette\Adapter\AzureBlobStorage\BlobProxyFactory($connectionString); $adapter = new Gaufrette\Adapter\AzureBlobStorage($factory, 'my-container'); $filesystem = new Gaufrette\Filesystem($adapter); ``` Using FTP adapters --------------- Some FTP servers need valid configuration so Gaufrette can working with them as expected. ### Pure Ftpd To handle hidden files we need to configure it by: ```bash echo "yes" > /etc/pure-ftpd/conf/DisplayDotFiles ``` ### Proftpd To handle hidden files we need to change `ListOptions` in proftpd configuration (at debian system `/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf` probably) to: ```bash ListOptions "-la" ``` Using Gaufrette in a Symfony2 project ------------------------------------- As you can see, Gaufrette provides an elegant way to declare your filesystems. In your Symfony2 project, add to ``deps``: ```ini [gaufrette] git=https://github.com/KnpLabs/Gaufrette.git # if you want to use Amazon S3 [aws-sdk] git=https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-php ``` And then, you can simply add them as services of your dependency injection container. As an example, here is services declaration to use Amazon S3: ```xml %acme.aws_key% %acme.aws_secret_key% %acme.s3.bucket_name% ``` Streaming Files --------------- Sometimes, you don't have the choice, you must get a streamable file URL (i.e to transform an image). Let's take a look at the following example: ```php $adapter = new InMemoryAdapter(array('hello.txt' => 'Hello World!')); $filesystem = new Filesystem($adapter); $map = StreamWrapper::getFilesystemMap(); $map->set('foo', $filesystem); StreamWrapper::register(); echo file_get_contents('gaufrette://foo/hello.txt'); // Says "Hello World!" ``` Running the Tests ----------------- The tests use phpspec2 and PHPUnit. ### Setup the vendor libraries As some filesystem adapters use vendor libraries, you should install the vendors: $ cd gaufrette $ php composer.phar install --dev $ sh bin/configure_test_env.sh It will avoid skip a lot of tests. ### Launch the Test Suite In the Gaufrette root directory: To check if classes specification pass: $ php bin/phpspec run To check basic functionality of the adapters (adapters should be configured you will see many skipped tests): $ phpunit Is it green?
