Scan plugin directory for class files

I am currently working on a plugin that can allow players to create and add custom generators for their PM worlds. I need to do a few things to get what i want to happen:

1. Scan the resource directory for php files with Generator in the filename
2. Check to see if the file has a class in it that implements a Generator interface
3. Add the class to the server for world generation

I was wondering if something like this would work to start...

PHP:

$generators = scandir($this->getDataFolder());
        foreach($generators as $generator) {
            if(preg_match("*Generator.php",$generator)) {
                $generatorName[0] = null;
                explode($generator,$generatorName);
                if(is_file($this->getDataFolder().$generatorName[0]."Generator.php")) {
                   
                }
            }
        }


 

I supposes you could make it into a plugin and then getpluginmanager

 

I don't want the generator as a standalone plugin, I want it to be as a .php file so the users can edit it

 

Take a look at "CodeBlocks" github runs php code on like a break event etc

 

I did look through there, however I can only find how it used the plugin.yml file in the .phar. I am trying to look for the info I need within a single .php file

Thank You!

 

Thank you so much for the pointers!

 

Okay, so after some modifications I made this:

PHP:

public function loadGenerator($file) {
        if(is_link($file) or is_dir($file) or !file_exists($file)) {
            $this->getLogger()->debug(basename($file)." is not a file");
            return false;
        }
            $content = file_get_contents($file);
            $info = strstr($content, "*/", true);
            $content = str_repeat(PHP_EOL, substr_count($info, "\n")).substr(strstr($content, "*/"),2);
            if(preg_match_all('#([a-zA-Z0-9\-_]*)=([^\r\n]*)#u', $info, $matches) == 0) {
                $this->getLogger()->debug("Failed to parse ".basename($file));
                return false;
            }
            $info = array();
            foreach($matches[1] as $k => $i) {
                $v = $matches[2][$k];
                switch(strtolower($v)) {
                    case "on":
                    case "true":
                    case "yes":
                        $v = true;
                        break;
                    case "off":
                    case "false":
                    case "no":
                        $v = false;
                        break;
                }
                $info[$i] = $v;
            }
            $info["code"] = $content;
            $info["class"] = trim(strtolower($info["class"]));
        if(!isset($info["class"]) or !isset($info["version"])) {
            $this->getLogger()->debug("[ERROR] Failed parsing of ".basename($file));
            return false;
        }
        $this->getLogger()->debug("Loading generator \"".TextFormat::GREEN.$info["class"].TextFormat::RESET."\"_v".TextFormat::AQUA.$info["version"].TextFormat::RESET." by ".TextFormat::AQUA.$info["author"].TextFormat::RESET);
        if($info["class"] !== "none" and $info["class"] !== null and class_exists($info["class"])) {
            $this->getLogger()->debug("Failed loading generator: class already exists");
            return false;
        }

        $className = $info["class"];
        $apiversion = array_map("intval", explode(",", $info["version"]));
        if(!in_array(self::GENERATOR_API, $apiversion)) {
            $this->getLogger()->debug("Generator \"".$info["name"]."\" may be outdated!");
        }

        if($info["class"] !== "none" or $info["class"] !== null) {
            $object = new $className([]);
            if(!($object instanceof GeneratorTemplate)) {
                $this->getLogger()->debug("Generator \"".$info["class"]."\" doesn't use the Generator Template");
                if(method_exists($object, "__destruct")) {
                    $object->__destruct();
                }
                $object = null;
                unset($object);
            }else{
                $this->generators[] = array($object, $info);
            }
        }
        return true;
    }


Is this good for a start?
