# Directory

- `Directory()`

Validates if the given path is a directory.

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

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

```php
v::directory()->isValid(new SplFileInfo('library/'));
v::directory()->isValid(dir('/'));
```
