✨ Path::Iterator::Rule ✨

okay so this is the Path::...::Rule(3pm) page from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and bestie, it is a banger. It's Path::Iterator::Rule β€” the iterative, recursive file finder πŸ’…


πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

Path::Iterator::Rule β€” the iterative, recursive file finder, no cap πŸ¦‹


🌸 VERSION 🌸

version 1.015 ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

use Path::Iterator::Rule;

my $rule = Path::Iterator::Rule->new; # match anything
$rule->file->size(">10k");         # add/chain rules

# iterator interface
my $next = $rule->iter( @dirs );
while ( defined( my $file = $next->() ) ) {
  ...
}

# list interface
for my $file ( $rule->all( @dirs ) ) {
  ...
}

literally two ways to vibe: pull one at a time, or just get the whole list 🫢


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

So this module iterates over files and directories and finds the ones matching a set of rules you define yourself. The API is heavily based on File::Find::Rule, but it's giving more explicit distinction between matching rules and options that influence how directories are searched. A Path::Iterator::Rule object is a whole collection of rules (match criteria) plus methods to add more criteria. And the options that control directory traversal? Those get passed as arguments to the method that generates an iterator. clean separation, we love to see it ✨

Here's the feature summary so you can compare it to other file finding modules πŸ‘‘:

  • provides many "helper" methods for specifying rules
  • offers (lazy) iterator and flattened list interfaces
  • custom rules implemented with callbacks
  • breadth-first (default) or pre- or post-order depth-first searching
  • follows symlinks (by default, but can be disabled)
  • directories visited only once (no infinite loop; can be disabled)
  • doesn't chdir during operation
  • provides an API for extensions

As a convenience, the PIR module is an empty subclass of this one that is less arduous to type for one-liners. tiny name, big energy πŸ’…

Note: paths are constructed with unix-style forward-slashes for efficiency rather than using File::Spec. If proper path separators are needed, call canonpath on the search results. iykyk πŸ™ˆ

🌈 USAGE 🌈

πŸ’œ Constructors πŸ’œ

"new"

my $rule = Path::Iterator::Rule->new;

Creates a brand new rule object that matches any file or directory β€” like, it's not picky at all, it says yes to everything 🌸. It takes no arguments. And for convenience, it may also be called on an object, in which case it still returns a new object that matches any file or directory. same energy either way ✨

"clone"

my $common      = Path::Iterator::Rule->new->file->not_empty;
my $big_files   = $common->clone->size(">1M");
my $small_files = $common->clone->size("<10K");

Makes a copy of a rule object. Super useful when you want to customize a bunch of different rule objects all built off one common base β€” start from the same fit and then accessorize πŸŽ€


🌸 Matching and iteration 🌸

"iter"

my $next = $rule->iter( @dirs, \%options);
while ( defined( my $file = $next->() ) ) {
  ...
}

Creates a subroutine reference iterator that returns a single result when dereferenced. This iterator is "lazy" β€” results are not pre-computed. It doesn't do the work until you ask, and honestly? respect πŸ’…

It takes as arguments a list of directories to search and an optional hash reference of control options. If no search directories are provided, the current directory is used ("."). default behavior, iconic πŸ¦‹

Valid options include:

  • "depthfirst" β€” Controls the order of results. Valid values are "1" (post-order, depth-first search), "0" (breadth-first search) or "-1" (pre-order, depth-first search). Default is 0. pick your traversal storyline ✨
  • "error_handler" β€” Catches errors during execution of rule tests. The default handler dies with the filename and error. If set to undef, error handling is disabled. 😭
  • "follow_symlinks" β€” Follow directory symlinks when true. Default is 1. πŸ”—
  • "report_symlinks" β€” Includes symlinks in results when true. Default is equal to "follow_symlinks". πŸŽ€
  • "loop_safe" β€” Prevents visiting the same directory more than once when true. Default is 1. πŸŒ€
  • "relative" β€” Return matching items relative to the search directory. Default is 0. πŸ“
  • "sorted" β€” Whether entries in a directory are sorted before processing. Default is 1. ⭐
  • "visitor" β€” An optional coderef that will be called on items matching all rules. πŸ‘€

Filesystem loops might exist from either hard or soft links. The "loop_safe" option prevents infinite loops, but it adds some overhead by making stat calls. And because directories are visited only once when "loop_safe" is true, matches could come from a symlinked directory before the real directory depending on the search order. so like, order matters, bestie πŸ™ˆ

To get only the real files, turn off "follow_symlinks". You can have symlinks included in results but not descend into symlink directories if you turn off "follow_symlinks" but turn on "report_symlinks". see them, don't go into them πŸ’…

Turning "loop_safe" off and leaving "follow_symlinks" on avoids stat calls and will be fastest, but with the risk of an infinite loop and repeated files. The default is slow, but safe. we stan a cautious queen πŸ‘‘

The "error_handler" parameter must be a subroutine reference. It will be called when a rule test throws an exception. The first argument will be the file name being inspected and the second argument will be the exception. 🫢

The optional "visitor" parameter must be a subroutine reference. If set, it will be called for any result that matches. It is called the same way a custom rule would be (see "EXTENDING") but its return value is ignored. It is called when an item is first inspected β€” "postorder" is not respected. no notes, it just shows up early ✨

The paths inspected and returned will be relative to the search directories provided. If these are absolute, then the paths returned will have absolute paths. If these are relative, then the paths returned will have relative paths. mirror behavior, love that πŸͺž

If the search directories are absolute and the "relative" option is true, files returned will be relative to the search directory. Note that if the search directories are not mutually exclusive (whether containing subdirectories like @INC or symbolic links), files found could be returned relative to different initial search directories based on "depthfirst", "follow_symlinks" or "loop_safe". yeah, it's giving chaos if you're not careful 😭

When the iterator is exhausted, it will return undef. the end, periodt πŸ’…

"iter_fast"

This works just like "iter", except that it optimizes for speed over safety. Don't do this unless you're sure you need it and accept the consequences. See "PERFORMANCE" for details. πŸŽοΈπŸ’€

"all"

my @matches = $rule->all( @dir, \%options );

Returns a list of paths that match the rule. It takes the same arguments and has the same behaviors as the "iter" method. The "all" method uses "iter" internally to fetch all results. it's the same thing, just all at once ✨

In scalar context, it will return the count of matched paths. πŸ”’

In void context, it is optimized to iterate over everything but not store results. This is most useful with the "visitor" option:

$rule->all( $path, { visitor => \&callback } );

just vibes, no memory 🫢

"all_fast"

This works just like "all", except that it optimizes for speed over safety. Don't do this unless you're sure you need it and accept the consequences. See "PERFORMANCE" for details. πŸŽοΈπŸ’€

"test"

if ( $rule->test( $path, $basename, $stash ) ) { ... }

Test a file path against a rule. It's used internally, but it's provided in case someone wants to create their own, custom iteration algorithm. DIY queen behavior πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ Logic operations πŸŽ€

Path::Iterator::Rule provides three logic operations for adding rules to the object. Rules may be either a subroutine reference with specific semantics (described below in "EXTENDING") or another Path::Iterator::Rule object. flexible AND iconic πŸ’…

"and"

$rule->and( sub { -r -w -x $_ } ); # stacked filetest example
$rule->and( @more_rules );

Adds one or more constraints to the current rule. E.g. "old rule AND new1 AND new2 AND ...". Returns the object to allow method chaining. πŸ”—

"or"

$rule->or(
  $rule->new->name("foo*"),
  $rule->new->name("bar*"),
  sub { -r -w -x $_ },
);

Takes one or more alternatives and adds them as a constraint to the current rule. E.g. "old rule AND ( new1 OR new2 OR ... )". Returns the object to allow method chaining. πŸ”—

"not"

$rule->not( sub { -r -w -x $_ } );

Takes one or more alternatives and adds them as a negative constraint to the current rule. E.g. "old rule AND NOT ( new1 AND new2 AND ...)". Returns the object to allow method chaining. πŸ”—

"skip"

$rule->skip(
  $rule->new->dir->not_writeable,
  $rule->new->dir->name("foo"),
);

Takes one or more alternatives and will prune a directory if any of the criteria match or if any of the rules already indicate the directory should be pruned. Pruning means the directory will not be returned by the iterator and will not be searched. we're cutting it off, bestie, blocked πŸ’…

For files, it is equivalent to "$rule->not($rule->or(@rules))". Returns the object to allow method chaining. πŸ”—

Heads up: this method should be called as early as possible in the rule chain. See "skip_dirs" below for further explanation and an example. ✨

more coming, bestie, don't go anywhere πŸ¦‹

✨ RULE METHODS ✨

Okay bestie, so rule methods are the lil helper functions that add constraints for you. πŸ’– Internally? They generate a closure to do the exact logic you want, then hand it off to the rule object using the and method. And because they're iconic, rule methods return the object itself β€” so you can keep chaining. method chaining era ✨


🌸 File name rules 🌸

  • name
$rule->name( "foo.txt" );
$rule->name( qr/foo/, "bar.*");

The name method takes one or more patterns and builds a rule that's true if any of those patterns match the basename of the file or directory path. Patterns can be regular expressions, glob expressions, or just literal names. No cap. πŸ’…

  • iname
$rule->iname( "foo.txt" );
$rule->iname( qr/foo/, "bar.*");

The iname method is literally the name method's twin, except it matches case-insensitively. Same energy, zero case sensitivity. πŸŽ€

  • skip_dirs
$rule->skip_dirs( @patterns );

The skip_dirs method skips directories that match one or more patterns. Patterns can be regular expressions or globs, just like name. Directories that match will not be returned from the iterator and will be excluded from further search. And yes, that includes the starting directories. If that's not the vibe you're going for, go look at skip_subdirs instead. πŸ¦‹

Note: this rule should be specified early so it gets a chance to operate before a logical shortcut. Like, for real:
$rule->skip_dirs(".git")->file; # OK
$rule->file->skip_dirs(".git"); # Won't work

In the second case, when a .git directory shows up, the file rule shortcuts the whole thing before skip_dirs even gets a chance to act. Order matters, bestie. 😭

  • skip_subdirs
$rule->skip_subdirs( @patterns );

Works just like skip_dirs, except the starting directories (depth 0) are not skipped and may be returned from the iterator unless some other rule excludes them. 🫢


🧚 File test rules 🧚

Most of the -X style filetests are available as boolean rules. Here's the map from filetest to its corresponding method name, no gatekeeping:

  • -r β†’ readable
  • -R β†’ r_readable
  • -w β†’ writeable
  • -W β†’ r_writeable
  • -w β†’ writable
  • -W β†’ r_writable
  • -x β†’ executable
  • -X β†’ r_executable
  • -o β†’ owned
  • -O β†’ r_owned
  • -e β†’ exists
  • -f β†’ file
  • -z β†’ empty
  • -d β†’ directory, dir
  • -s β†’ nonempty
  • -l β†’ symlink
  • -p β†’ fifo
  • -u β†’ setuid
  • -S β†’ socket
  • -g β†’ setgid
  • -b β†’ block
  • -k β†’ sticky
  • -c β†’ character
  • -t β†’ tty
  • -T β†’ ascii
  • -B β†’ binary

For example:

$rule->file->nonempty; # -f -s $file

The -X operators for timestamps take a single argument in a form that Number::Compare can interpret. ✨

  • -A β†’ accessed
  • -M β†’ modified
  • -C β†’ changed

For example:

$rule->modified(">1"); # -M $file > 1

πŸ‘‘ Stat test rules πŸ‘‘

All of the stat elements have a method that takes a single argument in a form understood by Number::Compare. Periodt. πŸ’œ

  • 0 β†’ dev
  • 1 β†’ ino
  • 2 β†’ mode
  • 3 β†’ nlink
  • 4 β†’ uid
  • 5 β†’ gid
  • 6 β†’ rdev
  • 7 β†’ size
  • 8 β†’ atime
  • 9 β†’ mtime
  • 10 β†’ ctime
  • 11 β†’ blksize
  • 12 β†’ blocks

For example:

$rule->size(">10K")

πŸ¦‹ Depth rules πŸ¦‹

$rule->min_depth(3);
$rule->max_depth(5);

The min_depth and max_depth rule methods each take a single argument and limit the paths returned to a minimum or maximum depth (respectively) from the starting search directory. A depth of 0 means the starting directory itself. A depth of 1 means its children. (Yeah, it's similar to the Unix find utility β€” iykyk. πŸ’…)


πŸ’– Perl file rules πŸ’–

# All perl rules
$rule->perl_file;

# Individual perl file rules
$rule->perl_module;     # .pm files
$rule->perl_pod;        # .pod files
$rule->perl_test;       # .t files
$rule->perl_installer;  # Makefile.PL or Build.PL
$rule->perl_script;     # .pl or 'perl' in the shebang

These rule methods match file names (or a shebang line) that are typical of Perl distribution files. So very on-brand. πŸ“


🌈 Version control file rules 🌈

# Skip all known VCS files
$rule->skip_vcs;

# Skip individual VCS files
$rule->skip_cvs;
$rule->skip_rcs;
$rule->skip_svn;
$rule->skip_git;
$rule->skip_bzr;
$rule->skip_hg;
$rule->skip_darcs;

Skips files and/or prunes directories related to a version control system. Just like skip_dirs, these rules should be specified early to get the correct behavior. Don't fight it. πŸ™ˆ


πŸ”₯ File content rules πŸ”₯

  • contents_match
$rule->contents_match(qr/BEGIN .* END/xs);

The contents_match rule takes a list of regular expressions and returns files that match one of the expressions. The expressions are applied to the file's contents as a single string. For large files, this is likely to take significant time and memory β€” so, heads up. 😭

Files are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8, but alternative Perl IO layers can be passed as the first argument:

$rule->contents_match(":encoding(iso-8859-1)", qr/BEGIN .* END/xs);

See perlio for further details. ✨

  • line_match
$rule->line_match(qr/^new/i, qr/^Addition/);

The line_match rule takes a list of regular expressions and returns files with at least one line that matches one of the expressions. Files are assumed to be encoded in UTF-8, but alternative Perl IO layers can be passed as the first argument. πŸŽ€

  • shebang
$rule->shebang(qr/#!.*\bperl\b/);

The shebang rule takes a list of regular expressions or glob patterns and checks them against the first line of a file. 🐚


⭐ Other rules ⭐

  • dangling
$rule->symlink->dangling;
$rule->not_dangling;

The dangling rule method matches dangling symlinks. Use it, or its inverse, to control how dangling symlinks should be treated. Choose your fighter. πŸ’…


πŸ’€ Negated rules πŸ’€

Most rule methods have a negated form preceded by not_. πŸ‘‘

$rule->not_name("foo.*")

Because this happens automatically, it includes somewhat silly ones like not_nonempty (which is thus a less efficient way of saying empty). Not me pointing that out. πŸ™ˆ

Rules that skip directories or version control files do not have a negated version. That's just how it is, bestie. 🫢

πŸ¦‹ EXTENDING πŸ¦‹

✨ Custom rule subroutines ✨

okay so bestie, rules? they're literally just (usually anonymous) subroutine callbacks πŸ’– They return a value that tells you whether or not the rule matches. That's the whole vibe.

These callbacks get called with three arguments, and you need to know all of them:

  1. the path β€” also locally aliased as the $_ global variable, for convenience in simple tests. iykyk, it's giving convenience:
$rule->and( sub { -r -w -x $_ } ); # tests $_
  1. the basename of the path β€” super useful for certain types of name checks:
$rule->and( sub { $_[1] =~ /foo|bar/ } ); "foo" or "bar" in basename;
  1. a hash reference that you can use to maintain state. Keys beginning with an underscore are reserved for Path::Iterator::Rule to provide additional data about the search in progress. For example, the _depth key is used to support minimum and maximum depth checks. πŸ‘‘

Now, the custom rule subroutine must return one of four values:

  • a true value β€” indicates the constraint is satisfied
  • a false value β€” indicates the constraint is not satisfied
  • \1 β€” indicate the constraint is satisfied, and prune if it's a directory
  • \0 β€” indicate the constraint is not satisfied, and prune if it's a directory

A reference is a special flag that signals that a directory should not be searched recursively, regardless of whether the directory should be returned by the iterator or not. periodt.

The legacy 0 but true value used previously for pruning is no longer valid and will throw an exception if it is detected. πŸ’€ don't do it.

Here's an example, bestie. This is equivalent to the max_depth rule method with a depth of 3:

$rule->and(
  sub {
    my ($path, $basename, $stash) = @_;
    return 1 if $stash->{_depth} < 3;
    return \1 if $stash->{_depth} == 3;
    return \0; # should never get here
  }
);

Files and directories and directories up to depth 3 will be returned and directories will be searched. Files of depth 3 will be returned. Directories of depth 3 will be returned, but their contents will not be added to the search. πŸŽ€

Returning a reference is "sticky" β€” they will propagate through and and or logic. Behold, the truth table, it's iconic:

   0 && \0 = \0    \0 && 0 = \0    0 || \0 = \0    \0 || 0 = \0
   0 && \1 = \0    \0 && 1 = \0    0 || \1 = \1    \0 || 1 = \1
   1 && \0 = \0    \1 && 0 = \0    1 || \0 = \1    \1 || 0 = \1
   1 && \1 = \1    \1 && 1 = \1    1 || \1 = \1    \1 || 1 = \1

Once a directory is flagged to be pruned, it will be pruned regardless of subsequent rules. No take-backs. πŸ™ˆ

$rule->max_depth(3)->name(qr/foo/);

This will return files or directories with "foo" in the name, but all directories at depth 3 will be pruned, regardless of whether they match the name rule. the way that works... 😭

Generally, if you want to do directory pruning, you are encouraged to use the skip method instead of writing your own logic using \0 and \1. like, just use skip, bestie, it's literally right there. 🫢


πŸŽ€ Extension modules and custom rule methods πŸŽ€

One of the strengths of File::Find::Rule is the many CPAN modules that extend it. Path::Iterator::Rule provides the add_helper method to provide a similar mechanism for extensions. slay, ecosystem. 🌸

The add_helper class method takes three arguments:

  1. a name for the rule method
  2. a closure-generating callback
  3. a flag for not generating a negated form of the rule

Unless the flag is true, an inverted not_* method is generated automatically. Extension classes should call this as a class method to install new rule methods. For example, this adds a foo method that checks if the filename is "foo":

package Path::Iterator::Rule::Foo;

use Path::Iterator::Rule;

Path::Iterator::Rule->add_helper(
  foo => sub {
    my @args = @_; # do this to customize closure with arguments
    return sub {
      my ($item, $basename) = @_;
      return if -d "$item";
      return $basename =~ /^foo$/;
    }
  }
);

1;

This allows the following rule methods:

$rule->foo;
$fule->not_foo;

The add_helper method will warn and ignore a helper with the same name as an existing method. ngl that's the correct call, don't be out here shadowing existing methods. πŸ’…


πŸ’œ Subclassing πŸ’œ

Instead of processing and returning strings, this module may be subclassed to operate on objects that represent files. Such objects must stringify to a file path. no exceptions, bestie.

The following private implementation methods must be overridden:

  • _objectify β€” given a path, return an object
  • _children β€” given a directory, return an (unsorted) list of [ basename, full path ] entries within it, excluding "." and ".."

Note that _children should return a list of tuples, where the tuples are array references containing basename and full path.

See Path::Class::Rule source for an example. πŸ‘‘


🌈 LEXICAL WARNINGS 🌈

If you run with lexical warnings enabled, Path::Iterator::Rule will issue warnings in certain circumstances (such as an unreadable directory that must be skipped). To disable these categories, put the following statement at the correct scope:

no warnings 'Path::Iterator::Rule';

scope matters, bestie β€” put it in the right place or it won't do the thing. 🫢


⭐ PERFORMANCE ⭐

By default, Path::Iterator::Rule iterator options are "slow but safe". They ensure uniqueness, return files in sorted order, and throw nice error messages if something goes wrong. it's giving responsible main character energy. πŸ’…

If you want speed over safety, set these options:

%options = (
    loop_safe => 0,
    sorted => 0,
    depthfirst => -1,
    error_handler => undef
);

Alternatively, use the iter_fast and all_fast methods instead, which set these options for you. so convenient, obsessed:

$iter = $rule->iter( @dirs, \%options );

$iter = $rule->iter_fast( @dirs ); # same thing

Depending on the file structure being searched, depthfirst => -1 may or may not be a good choice. If you have lots of nested directories and all the files at the bottom, a depth first search might do less work or use less memory, particularly if the search will be halted early (e.g. finding the first N matches.) lowkey situational, fr fr.

Rules will shortcut on failure, so be sure to put rules likely to fail early in a rule chain. This is the whole game, bestie.

Consider:

$r1 = Path::Iterator::Rule->new->name(qr/foo/)->file;
$r2 = Path::Iterator::Rule->new->file->name(qr/foo/);

If there are lots of files, but only a few containing "foo", then $r1 above will be faster. see how that works? 😌

Rules are implemented as code references, so long chains have some overhead. Consider testing with a custom coderef that combines several tests into one.

Consider:

$r3 = Path::Iterator::Rule->new->and( sub { -x -w -r $_ } );
$r4 = Path::Iterator::Rule->new->executable->writeable->readable;

Rule $r3 above will be much faster, not only because it stacks the file tests, but because it requires only a single code reference. ate. πŸ”₯


πŸ’€ CAVEATS πŸ’€

Some features are still unimplemented. not everything is finished, bestie, we're all a work in progress:

  • Untainting options
  • Some File::Find::Rule helpers (e.g. "grep")
  • Extension class loading via import()

Filetest operators and stat rules are subject to the usual portability considerations. See perlport for details.


🌸 SEE ALSO 🌸

There are many other file finding modules out there. They all have various features/deficiencies, depending on your preferences and needs. Here is an (incomplete) list of alternatives, with some comparison commentary. grab a snack, this is a long one. πŸ“

Path::Class::Rule and IO::All::Rule are subclasses of Path::Iterator::Rule and operate on Path::Class and IO::All objects, respectively. Because of this, they are substantially slower on large directory trees than just using this module directly. 😭

File::Find is part of the Perl core. It requires the user to write a callback function to process each node of the search. Callbacks must use global variables to determine the current node. It only supports depth-first search (both pre- and post-order). It supports pre- and post-processing callbacks; the former is required for sorting files to process in a directory. File::Find::Closures can be used to help create a callback for File::Find.

File::Find::Rule is an object-oriented wrapper around File::Find. It provides a number of helper functions and there are many more "File::Find::Rule::*" modules on CPAN with additional helpers. It provides an iterator interface, but precomputes all the results.

File::Next provides iterators for file, directories or "everything". It takes two callbacks, one to match files and one to decide which directories to descend. It does not allow control over breadth/depth order, though it does provide means to sort files for processing within a directory. Like File::Find, it requires callbacks to use global variables.

Path::Class::Iterator walks a directory structure with an iterator. It is implemented as Path::Class subclasses, which adds a degree of extra complexity. It takes a single callback to define "interesting" paths to return. The callback gets a Path::Class::Iterator::File or Path::Class::Iterator::Dir object for evaluation.

File::Find::Object and companion File::Find::Object::Rule are like File::Find and File::Find::Rule, but without File::Find inside. They use an iterator that does not precompute results. They can return File::Find::Object::Result objects, which give a subset of the utility of Path::Class objects. File::Find::Object::Rule appears to be a literal translation of File::Find::Rule, including oddities like making "-M" into a boolean. πŸ’€

File::chdir::WalkDir recursively descends a tree, calling a callback on each file. No iterator. Supports exclusion patterns. Depth-first post-order by default, but offers pre-order option. Does not process symlinks.

File::Find::Iterator is based on iterator patterns in Higher Order Perl. It allows a filtering callback. Symlinks are followed automatically without infinite loop protection. No control over order. It offers a "state file" option for resuming interrupted work.

File::Find::Declare has declarative helper rules, no iterator, is Moose-based and offers no control over ordering or following symlinks.

File::Find::Node has no iterator, does matching via callback and offers no control over ordering.

File::Set builds up a set of files to operate on from a list of directories to include or exclude, with control over recursion. A callback is applied to each file (or directory) in the set. There is no iterator. There is no control over ordering. Symlinks are not followed. It has several extra features for checksumming the set and creating tarballs with /bin/tar.

Thank you to Ricardo Signes (rjbs) for inspiring me to write yet another file finder module, for writing file finder optimization benchmarks, and tirelessly running my code over and over to see if it got faster. an actual legend, no cap. πŸ‘‘
