README

Laravel File Uploader offers an easy way to upload files to different disks. The main purpose of the package is to remove the repeated and cumbersome code and simplify it into some simple methods.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require erlandmuchasaj/laravel-file-uploader

Usage

This package has an very easy and straight-forward usage. Just import the package and pass the file as parameter, and it will handle the rest.

use ErlandMuchasaj\LaravelFileUploader\FileUploader;

Route::post('/files', function (\Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {

    $max_size = (int) ini_get('upload_max_filesize') * 1000;
    
    // FileUploader::images() get all image extensions ex: jpg, png, jpeg, gif, etc.
    // FileUploader::documents() get all documents extensions ex: 'csv', 'html', 'pdf', 'doc', 'docx', 'ppt' etc.
    $extensions = implode(',', FileUploader::images());

    $request->validate([
        'file' => [
            'required',
            'file',
            'image',
            'mimes:' . $extensions,
            'max:'.$max_size,
        ]
    ]);

    $file = $request->file('file');

    $response = FileUploader::store($file);
    // $response = FileUploader::store($file, $options);
    // available options (as key=>value pare) are:
    // `disk`, 'user_id`, `path`, `visibility`
    
    // do something with the $response
    // you can save it into your model etc.
    
    return redirect()
            ->back()
            ->with('success', __('File has been uploaded.'))
            ->with('file', $response);
})->name('files.store');

/**

 *      "type" => "image"
 *      "extension" => "png"
 *      "_extension" => "png"
 *      "name" => "blog3"
 *      "original_name" => "blog3.png"

If you need to modify the config files, you should publish the migration and the config/permission.php config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ErlandMuchasaj\LaravelFileUploader\FileUploaderServiceProvider"

Some other helper methods:

    $path = 'uploads/1/image/blog3_1678118034.png'; // the path of the image where is stored.
    $response = FileUploader::get($path); // get file as StreamedResponse
    $response = FileUploader::getFile($path); // get file as content.
    $response = FileUploader::url($path); // full path url - /storage/uploads/1/image/blog3_1678118034.png
    $response = FileUploader::path($path); // C:\wamp\www\laravel-app\storage\app\uploads/1/image/blog3_1678118034.png
    $response = FileUploader::meta($path); // metadata about the file.
    /**
    * [
    *     "path" => "C:\wamp\www\laravel-app\storage\app\uploads/1/image/blog3_1678118034.png"
    *     "url" => "/storage/uploads/1/image/blog3_1678118034.png"
    *     "visibility" => "public"
    *     "mimeType" => "image/png"
    *     "size" => "536.37 KB"
    *     "last_modified" => "1 hour ago"
    *     "name" => "blog3_1678118034.png"
    *     "pathinfo" => [
    *         "dirname" => "uploads/1/image"
    *         "basename" => "blog3_1678118034.png"
    *         "extension" => "png"
    *         "filename" => "blog3_1678118034"
    *     ]
    * ]
    */
        
    $response = FileUploader::download($path, 'something_nice'); // download the file as StreamedResponse
    $response = FileUploader::getVisibility($path); // file visibility when applicable private/public
    $response = FileUploader::setVisibility($path, 'private'); // change file visibility
    $response = FileUploader::remove($path); // delete a file

Also, some other size converting helper functions are available for example:

    $size = 549247;
    FileUploader::formatBytes($size); // "536.37 KB"
    
    FileUploader::convertBytesToSpecified($size, 'KB'); // 536.37KB
    FileUploader::convertBytesToSpecified($size, 'MB'); // 0.52MB
