Symfony Finder is a PHP component for locating files and directories using a fluent, chainable interface with filters by name, size, date, path, and content. It is a standalone Composer package usable in any PHP project, not just Symfony applications.
Use cases
- find files by name pattern in php
- iterate over directory contents with filters
- search files by size or modification date
- exclude vendor or vcs directories when scanning files
- sort and filter file listings in php
When to choose
- you need expressive, composable file/directory searches in PHP
- you want a battle-tested component used by Laravel, Drupal, Composer and other major projects
- you need filtering by name, size, date, depth, or custom callbacks in one API
When to avoid
- you need high-performance raw filesystem scanning where iterator overhead matters
- you are not working in PHP
- you need full-text file content search or indexing rather than file discovery
