finder component

We have hosted the application finder component in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about finder component:

The Finder component finds files and directories based on different criteria (name, file size, modification time, etc.) via an intuitive fluent interface. If you install this component outside of a Symfony application, you must require the vendor/autoload.php file in your code to enable the class autoloading mechanism provided by Composer. The $file variable is an instance of Symfony\Component\Finder\SplFileInfo which extends PHP�s own SplFileInfo to provide methods to work with relative paths. The Finder object doesn�t reset its internal state automatically. This means that you need to create a new instance if you do not want to get mixed results. The component provides lots of methods to define the search criteria. They all can be chained because they implement a fluent interface. The location is the only mandatory criteria. It tells the finder which directory to use for the search.

Features:

• By default, the Finder returns both files and directories
• If the search directory contains a .gitignore file, you can reuse those rules to exclude files and directories from the results
• Multiple filenames can be defined by chaining calls or passing an array
• Multiple filenames can be excluded by chaining calls or passing an array
• Internally, strings are converted into regular expressions by escaping slashes and adding delimiters
• By default, the Finder recursively traverses directories

Programming Language: PHP.
