README

This package makes image upload easy. It uses Intervention Image under the hood.

Installation

Require this package, with Composer, in the root directory of your project.

$ composer require mindshaker/image-upload

Configuration

There are some default configurations

return [
    'public_path' => 'uploads',
    'random_name' => true,
];

You can change this values by publishing this configuration file

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mindshaker\\ImageUpload\\ImageUploadServiceProvider"

If you want to make your images private (blocked by auth for example), you'll need to add a new disk in config/filesystems.php and put this in the disks array

'private' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root' => storage_path('app/upload_folder'),
    'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/storage',
    'visibility' => 'private',
    'throw' => false,
],

Usage

There are only a few methods, you can call the upload method to upload a image that will be edited to the given dimensions or cropped. The image will be saved to the public_path set in the configurations and be given a random name or the name of the original file.

The upload function returns the image name with additional path if set (see bellow)

use Mindshaker\ImageUpload\Facades\ImageUpload;

ImageUpload::upload($image, $width = null, $height = null, $crop = false, $private = false);

To add an additional path

ImageUpload::path("additional_path");

To give specific name to the uploaded file, if set it will ignore the configuration random_name

ImageUpload::name("image_name");

To define the format of the image uploaded (e.g. png, jpg, webp, etc..)

ImageUpload::format("jpg");

To define the quality of the image, default 75.

ImageUpload::quality(75);

You can delete images by calling the method delete($image, $private = false) where $image is the name returned from the upload() method

$image_name = ImageUpload::upload($image, 1920);

ImageUpload::delete($image_name);

Basic Examples

use Mindshaker\ImageUpload\Facades\ImageUpload;

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

//Simple upload ($width or $height needs to be specified)
//It will resize the image to 1920px. It won't upscale
ImageUpload::upload($image, 1920);

//Crop the image to the given dimensions
ImageUpload::upload($image, 512, 512, true);

//Change the format of the image
ImageUpload::format("webp")->upload($image, 1920);

//Add aditional path and change name
ImageUpload::path("posts/{id}")->name("post_name")->format("webp")->upload($image, 1920, null);
//returns something like "posts/1/post_name.webp"

Adavanced Usage

If you want more than just resizing and cropping the images, you can call the method manager() and edit the image like it's an Intervention Image. This is a substitute to the upload method, all the other methods still work (Like path(), name() and format()). After editing, to upload the image you can call the method save() to upload the image to the specified path and format.

ImageUpload::manager($image);

Example

use Mindshaker\ImageUpload\Facades\ImageUpload;

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

ImageUpload::manager($image)->pad(512, 512, 'ccc')->format("png")->save();
