# pathutil

Pathutil is I/O utility primary inspired by David Golden's
[Path::Tiny](https://metacpan.org/pod/Path::Tiny). It is friendlier to use than
[path](https://golang.org/pkg/path/),
[filepath](https://golang.org/pkg/path/filepath/) and provides many of other
functions which isn't in core libraries (like `Copy` for example)
### SYNOPSIS
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/JaSei/pathutil-go"
)
// creating pathutil objects
dir, _ := pathutil.New("/tmp")
foo, _ := pathutil.New("foo.txt")
subdir, _ := dir.Child("foo")
bar, _ := subdir.Child("bar.txt")
// stringifies as cleaned up path
file, _ := pathutil.New("./foo.txt")
fmt.Println(file) // "foo.txt"
// reading files
guts, _ := file.Slurp()
lines, _ := file.Lines()
// writing files
bar.Spew(data)
// reading directories
children, _ := dir.Children()
for _, child := range children {
}

* [Path::Tiny](https://metacpan.org/pod/Path::Tiny) for Perl
* [better files](https://github.com/pathikrit/better-files) for Scala
* [pathlib](https://docs.python.org/3/library/pathlib.html) for python
BREAKING CHANGE 0.3.1 -> 1.0.0
1. `NewTempFile` or `NewTempDir` don't need TempOpt struct
//0.3.1 default
pathutil.NewTempFile(pathutil.TempOpt{})
//0.3.1 custom
pathutil.NewTempFile(pathutil.TempOpt{Dir: "/test", Prefix: "pre"})
//1.0.0 default
pathutil.NewTempFile()
//1.0.0 custom
pathutil.NewTempFile(Dir("/test"), Prefix("pre"))
2. `New` method parameter allowed `string` type or type implements
`fmt.Stringer` interface
//0.3.1
pathutil.New(otherPath.String(), "test")
//1.0.0
pathutil.New(otherPath, "test")
This shouldn't be breaking change, but if you use in some code variadic
parameter as input of `pathutil.New`, then can be problem
//0.3.1
func(p ...string) {
pathutil.New(p...)
}("a", "b")
//1.0.0
func(p ...string) {
n := make([]interface{}, len(p))
for i, v := range p {
n[i] = v
}
pathutil.New(n...)
}("a", "b")
3. There is new (more handfull) crypto API
//0.3.1
import (
"crypto"
"github.com/JaSei/pathutil-go"
)
...
hash, err := path.Crypto(crypto.SHA256)
if err == nil {
fmt.Printf("%s\t%s\n", hash.HexSum(), path.String())
}
//1.0.0
import (
"github.com/JaSei/pathutil-go"
)
...
hash, err := path.CryptoSha256()
if err == nil {
fmt.Printf("%s\t%s\n", hash, path.String())
}
This new crypto API return [hashutil](github.com/JaSei/hashutil-go) struct which
is more handfull for compare, transformation and next hash manipulation.
