Radpath

A library for dealing with paths in Elixir largely inspired by Python's pathlib.

Getting Started

To use Radpath, add a dependency in your mix:

defdepsdo[{:Radpath,github: "lowks/Radpath"}]end

then mix deps.get fetches dependencies and compiles Radpath.

Status

Developed whenever I can find the time.

Running Tests

Running tests against a stable release of Elixir defined by 'STABLE_ELIXIR_VERSION' in the Makefile:

make ci

Running tests against your system's Elixir:

make

Docs (Lite Version)

To list down files in a path:

Radpath.files("/home/lowks/Documents")

or if you wanted to filter out certain files with pdf extensions:

Radpath.files("/home/lowks/Documents","pdf")

Listing down only directories:

Radpath.dirs("/home/lowks")

To create symlink:

Radpath.symlink(source,destination)

To create tempfile:

{status,fd,file_path}=Radpath.mktempfileIO.writefd,"hoho"File.closefdFile.read!filepath"hoho"File.rm!filepath

This uses all the defaults

To customize the location plus the extension:

{_,fd,filepath}=Radpath.mktempfile(".log","/home/lowks/Downloads")IO.writefd,"hoho"File.read!filepath"hoho"File.close!filepath

The default is ".log". Checkout the rest of the docs in the docs folder.

Run mix docs to generate a nice docs in a local folder or you can read them online: Radpath hexdocs
