# Retrorsum
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is a simple thing that will search for a file traversing down from the current directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This came about because I was thinking of how I could find the base directory of a project without guessing with `__DIR__."/../../../"` and without forcing an app/ directory or something.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I wanted to find a way to find the base directory of an app from a class.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Usage
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```php
|
||
|
|
use Sikofitt\Retrorsum\Finder;
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
$finder = new Finder('composer.json');
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
define('BASE_DIR', (string)$finder);
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
or
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```php
|
||
|
|
define('BASE_DIR', (string)(new Finder('composer.json')));
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although this could set BASE_DIR as an empty string if it found nothing.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```php
|
||
|
|
$finder = new Finder('composer.json');
|
||
|
|
if(true === $finder->isFound())
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
define('BASE_DIR', $finder->getPath());
|
||
|
|
} else {
|
||
|
|
// Whatever your other method would be.
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
