Overview

Path: An object-oriented wrapper for files. (Combines useful methods from FileUtils, File, Dir, and more!)

To create a path object, or array of path objects, throw whatever you want into Path[]:

These returns a single path object:
  passwd      = Path["/etc/passwd"]
  also_passwd = Path["/etc"] / "passwd"         # joins two paths
  parent_dir  = Path["/usr/local/bin"] / ".."   # joins two paths (up one dir)

These return an array of path objects:
  pictures   = Path["photos/*.{jpg,png}"]   # globbing
  notes      = Path["notes/2014/**/*.txt"]  # recursive globbing
  everything = Path["/etc"].ls

Each Path object has the following attributes, which can all be modified:

path     => the absolute path, as a string
filename => just the name and extension
basename => just the filename (without extension)
ext      => just the extension
dir      => just the directory
dirs     => an array of directories

Some commonly used methods:

path.file?
path.exists?
path.dir?
path.mtime
path.xattrs
path.symlink?
path.broken_symlink?
path.symlink_target
path.executable?
path.chmod(0o666)

Interesting examples:

Path["*.jpeg"].each { |path| path.rename(:ext=>"jpg") } # renames .jpeg to .jpg

files     = Path["/etc"].ls         # all files in directory
morefiles = Path["/etc"].ls_R       # all files in directory tree

Path["*.txt"].each(&:gzip!)

Path["filename.txt"] << "Append data!"     # appends data to a file

string = Path["filename.txt"].read         # read all file data into a string
json   = Path["filename.json"].read_json   # read and parse JSON
doc    = Path["filename.html"].read_html   # read and parse HTML
xml    = Path["filename.xml"].parse        # figure out the format and parse it (as XML)

Path["saved_data.marshal"].write(data.marshal)   # Save your data!
data = Path["saved_data.marshal"].unmarshal      # Load your data!

Path["unknown_file"].mimetype              # sniff the file to determine its mimetype
Path["unknown_file"].mimetype.image?       # ...is this some kind of image?

Path["otherdir/"].cd do                    # temporarily change to "otherdir/"
  p Path.ls
end
p Path.ls

The `Path#dirs` attribute is a split up version of the directory (eg: Path.dirs => [“usr”, “local”, “bin”]).

You can modify the dirs array to change subsets of the directory. Here's an example that finds out if you're in a git repo:

def inside_a_git_repo?
  path = Path.pwd # start at the current directory
  while path.dirs.any?
    if (path/".git").exists?
      return true
    else
      path.dirs.pop  # go up one level
    end
  end
  false
end

Swap two files:

a, b = Path["file_a", "file_b"]
temp = a.with(:ext => a.ext+".swapping") # return a modified version of this object
a.mv(temp)
b.mv(a)
temp.mv(b)

Paths can be created for existant and non-existant files.

To create a nonexistant path object that thinks it's a directory, just add a '/' at the end. (eg: Path).

Performance has been an important factor in Path's design, so doing crazy things with Path usually doesn't kill performance. Go nuts!

Same usage as `FileUtils.chmod` (because it just calls `FileUtils.chmod`)

path.chmod "u=wr,go=rr", "my.rb", "your.rb", "his.rb", "her.rb"
path.chmod "ugo=rwx", "slutfile"
path.chmod "u=wrx,g=rx,o=rx", '/usr/bin/ruby', :verbose => true

Letter things:

"a" :: is user, group, other mask.
"u" :: is user's mask.
"g" :: is group's mask.
"o" :: is other's mask.
"w" :: is write permission.
"r" :: is read permission.
"x" :: is execute permission.
"X" :: is execute permission for directories only, must be used in conjunction with "+"
"s" :: is uid, gid.
"t" :: is sticky bit.
"+" :: is added to a class given the specified mode.
"-" :: Is removed from a given class given mode.
"=" :: Is the exact nature of the class will be given a specified mode.

Renames the file, but doesn't change the current Path object, and returns a Path that points at the new filename.

Examples:

Path["file"].rename("newfile") #=> Path["newfile"]
Path["SongySong.mp3"].rename(:basename=>"Songy Song")
Path["Songy Song.mp3"].rename(:ext=>"aac")
Path["Songy Song.aac"].rename(:dir=>"/music2")
Path["/music2/Songy Song.aac"].exists? #=> true

#zopen(mode = "rb", &block) ⇒ Object

A mutation of “open” that lets you read/write gzip files, as well as regular files.

(NOTE: gzip detection is based on the filename, not the contents.)

It accepts a block just like open()!

Example:

zopen("test.txt")          #=> #<File:test.txt>
zopen("test.txt.gz")       #=> #<Zlib::GzipReader:0xb6c79424>
zopen("otherfile.gz", "w") #=> #<Zlib::GzipWriter:0x7fe30448>>
zopen("test.txt.gz") { |f| f.read } # read the contents of the .gz file, then close the file handle automatically.
