README

This package provides an easy, out of the box, service provider for using Azure Blob Storage to back Laravel's Storage service.

Installation

composer require ajoy39/laravel-storage-azure

Configuration

There are two options when setting up the connection, you can use the connection string provided by Azure or enter the values individually.

Connection String Method

In config/filesystem.php add the following to your storage drivers array

'azure' => [
    'driver' => 'azure-blob-storage',
    'connection_string' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING'),
    'container' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONTAINER')
]

Fill in the values in your environment file

AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONNECTION_STRING= 
AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONTAINER=

Explicit Configuration Method

In config/filesystem.php add the following to your storage drivers array

'azure' => [
    'driver' => 'azure-blob-storage',
    'account_name' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME'),
    'account_key' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY'),
    'container' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONTAINER')
]

And then fill in the environment variables in your .env file or enviroment management solution

AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=
AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY=
AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONTAINER=

If you are using Azure Gov Cloud then you will have to add the endpoint suffix to the configuration array and environment variables. This step is not necassary for the connection string method, as the connection string will already have the endpoint_suffix defined.

'azure' => [
    'driver' => 'azure-blob-storage',
    'account_name' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME'),
    'account_key' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY'),
    'endpoint_suffix' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ENDPOINT_SUFFIX')
    'container' => env('AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONTAINER')
]

AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_NAME=
AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ACCOUNT_KEY=
AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_CONTAINER=
AZURE_BLOB_STORAGE_ENDPOINT_SUFFIX

Usage

You can now use Storage::disk('azure') right away. If you would like to set azure as the default storage disk, simply set the FILESYSTEM_DRIVER environment variable

FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=azure
