# Directory

- `v::directory()`

Validates directories.

```php
v::directory()->validate(__DIR__); // true
v::directory()->validate(__FILE__); // false
```

This validator will consider SplFileInfo instances, so you can do something like:

```php
v::directory()->validate(new \SplFileInfo($directory));
```
