# Feature: #93209 - FAL: Add getFile() to TYPO3\\CMS\\Core\\Resource\\Folder {#feature-93209}

See [forge#93209](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/93209)

## Description {#description}

The FAL `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder` object now contains a new
convenience method `getFile()`.

The `\TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\FolderInterface` does not contain the
definition yet, as this would be a breaking change, thus, a comment is added to
make sure the interface gets this addition in TYPO3 v12 as well.

## Impact {#impact}

When dealing as a developer with FAL Folder objects, the method
`$folder->getFile("filename.ext")` can now be used instead of
`$folder->getStorage()->getFileInFolder("filename.ext", $folder)`.
