Glob-like File and Pattern Matching Utilities for PHP

Splat is a PHP utility by Chris Kankiewicz that provides glob-like file and pattern matching. With this utility, you can convert patterns (see the README) into regular expressions using the provided Pattern instance:

 1// Returns '#^foo$#'
 2Pattern::make('foo')->toRegex();
 3 
 4// Returns '#^foo/bar\.txt$#'
 5Pattern::make('foo/bar.txt')->toRegex();
 6 
 7// Returns '#^file\.(yml|yaml)$#'
 8Pattern::make('file.{yml,yaml}')->toRegex();
 9 
10// You can control line anchors as well
11 
12// Returns '#foo#'
13Pattern::make('foo')->toRegex(Glob::NO_ANCHORS);
14// Returns '#^foo#'
15Pattern::make('foo')->toRegex(Glob::START_ANCHOR);
16// Returns '#^foo$#'
17Pattern::make('foo')->toRegex(Glob::BOTH_ANCHORS);

This package also includes file glob utilities to get a list of files matching a file glob pattern.

 1// Get a list of files in a directory (Returns a Symfony Finder Component)
 2Glob::in('**.txt', 'some/file/path');
 3 
 4Glob::matchStart('foo/*', 'foo/bar.txt'); // true
 5Glob::matchStart('foo/*', 'bar/foo.txt'); // false
 6Glob::matchEnd('**.txt', 'foo/bar.txt'); // true
 7Glob::matchEnd('**.txt', 'foo/bar.log'); // false
 8 
 9// Filter and reject array of filenames
10 
11// Returns ['foo.txt', 'foo/bar.txt']
12Glob::filter('**.txt', [
13    'foo', 'foo.txt', 'bar.zip', 'foo/bar.png', 'foo/bar.txt',
14]);
15 
16// Returns ['foo', 'bar.zip', 'foo/bar.png']
17Glob::reject('**.txt', [
18    'foo', 'foo.txt', 'bar.zip', 'foo/bar.png', 'foo/bar.txt',
19]);
