Royalcms Uploader

Uploading files and store its in Filesystem / Cloud storage in Royalcms is not easy and simple for some developers. This package provides a simple way to do that, and comes with fluent interface that you might like.

Configuration

The Uploader configuration is located at packages/royalcms/uploader/uploader.php, where you can adjust the default file provider and the default file visibility as you want.

File Providers

This package comes with two file providers, from HTTP request and local filesystem. Before uploading a file, you can set where the file is provided. Example:

RC_Uploader::from('request')->upload('avatar'); // see the supported providers at config/uploader.php

// Or you can use the magic methods...
RC_Uploader::fromRequest()->upload('file');
RC_Uploader::fromLocal()->upload('/path/to/file');

If you call method on the RC_Uploader facade without first calling the from method, the uploader will assume that you want to use the default provider.

// If your default provider is local, it will automatically use the local provider.
RC_Uploader::upload('/path/to/file');

Usage

Uploading a File

Now, uploading a file is very simple like this:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use RC_Uploader;
use Royalcms\Component\Http\Request;

class UserController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Change user's avatar.
     *
     * @param  \Royalcms\Component\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Royalcms\Component\Http\Response
     */
    public function changeAvatar(Request $request)
    {
        RC_Uploader::upload('avatar');

        //
    }
}

The upload method accept a request key or path where the file is located (based on the file provider) as first parameter and returns a boolean: true if succeed or false if failed.

You may pass a Closure callback as second parameter that will be called if the file successfully uploaded:

// The parameter in the Closure is a full uploaded filename...
RC_Uploader::upload('avatar', function ($filename) {
    Photo::create(['photo' => $filename]);
});

RC_Uploader::upload('/path/to/file', function ($filename) {
    $user = User::find(12);

    $user->update(['avatar' => $filename]);
});

Choosing the File Storage

Automatically, the Uploader will use your default [Filesystem] Disk when storing the file. But, you can choose where you will store the file with uploadTo method:

// see the supported uploadTo parameter at config/filesystems.php
RC_Uploader::uploadTo('s3')->upload('avatar');

// Or you can use the magic methods...
RC_Uploader::uploadToS3();
RC_Uploader::uploadToFtp();
RC_Uploader::uploadToLocal();
RC_Uploader::uploadToRackspace();

Set the Folder

Maybe you want to specify the folder where the file will be stored. Just use the toFolder method:

RC_Uploader::toFolder('photos')->upload('photo');

Rename the File

Adjust the filename as you want with renameTo method:

RC_Uploader::renameTo('my-awesome-videos')->upload('/path/to/video');

If you ignore this method, the file will be renamed to random and unique name.

File Visibility

You may set the [Filesystem] using the setVisibility method:

RC_Uploader::setVisibility('public')->upload('avatar');

Or just ignore this, and the Uploader will set the visibility based on your configuration.

Method Chainning

All the methods above except the upload method, are chainable. Feel free to call other methods before calling the upload. Example:

RC_Uploader::from('local')->uploadToS3()->toFolder('banners')->renameTo('cool-banner')->setVisibility('public')->upload('/path/to/banner');
