File-selector

The fileselector function can be used to provide auto-completion for possible choices.

This function lists the entries in the directory on the local file system that matches the input, as the options for suggest.

The user can still provide any answer, regardless of the auto-completion hints:

use function Macocci7\FileSelectorPrompt\fileselector;

$path = fileselector('Select a file to import.');

You may also include placeholder text, a default value, a required value, and an informational hint:

$path = fileselector(
    label: 'Select a file to import.',
    placeholder: 'E.g. ./vendor/autoload.php',
    default: '',
    required: 'The file path is required.',
    hint: 'Input the file path.',
);

If you would like to perform additional validation logic, you may pass a closure to the validate argument:

$path = fileselector(
    label: 'Select a file to import.',
    placeholder: 'E.g. ./vendor/autoload.php',
    hint: 'Input the file path.',
    validate: fn (string $value) => match (true) {
        !is_readable($value) => 'Cannot read the file.',
        default => null,
    },
);

Additionally, you may make changes to the input before it gets validated by passing a closure to the transform argument.

$path = fileselector(
    label: 'Select a file to import.',
    placeholder: 'E.g. ./vendor/autoload.php',
    hint: 'Input the file path.',
    validate: fn (string $value) => match (true) {
        !is_readable($value) => 'Cannot read the file.',
        default => null,
    },
    transform: fn ($value) => realpath($value),
);

Finally, if you would like to filter the files listed in the choices with the file extensions, you may pass an array to the extensions argument:

$path = fileselector(
    label: 'Select a file to import.',
    placeholder: 'E.g. ./vendor/autoload.php',
    hint: 'Input the file path.',
    validate: fn (string $value) => match (true) {
        !is_readable($value) => 'Cannot read the file.',
        default => null,
    },
    extensions: [
        '.json',
        '.php',
    ],
);

Form

Macocci7\FileSelectorPrompt\form function wraps Laravel\Prompt\form and supports fileselector.

use function Macocci7\FileSelectorPrompt\form;

$responses = form()
    ->fileselector(
        label: 'Select a file to import.',
        placeholder: 'E.g. ./vendor/autoload.php',
        hint: 'Input the file path.',
        validate: fn (string $value) => match (true) {
            !is_readable($value) => 'Cannot read the file.',
            default => null,
        },
        extensions: [
            '.json',
            '.php',
        ],
    )->submit();
