Installation

This package can be installed via command:

composer require dmitrybubyakin/nova-medialibrary-field

Usage

Medialibrary::make($name, $collectionName = '', $diskName = '', $attribute = null),

Methods

Attribute

Sometimes you may need to use the same field label (duplicated sections, etc). The attribute must be unique. In this case you can change the default behaviour using the attribute() method.

Medialibrary::make('name', 'collection name', 'disk name', 'custom_attribute');
// or
Medialibrary::make('name', 'collection name', 'disk name')->attribute('custom_attribute');
Fields

Define custom fields for media. MediaFields is used by default.

Medialibrary::make('Media')->fields(function () {
    return [
        Text::make('File Name', 'file_name')
            ->rules('required', 'min:2'),

        Text::make('Tooltip', 'custom_properties->tooltip')
            ->rules('required', 'min:2'),

        GeneratedConversions::make('Conversions')
            ->withTooltips(),
    ];
});
ResolveMediaUsing
Medialibrary::make('Media')->resolveMediaUsing(function (HasMedia $model, string $collectionName) {
    return $model->getMedia($collectionName);
});
AttachUsing

Called inside AttachController. AttachCallback is used by default. It accepts $fieldUuid which is used when a resource is not created. If you want to attach media on the create view, you should keep these lines in your callback.

Medialibrary::make('Media')
    ->attachUsing(function (HasMedia $model, UploadedFile $file, string $collectionName, string $diskName, string $fieldUuid) {
        if ($model instanceof TransientModel) {
            $collectionName = $fieldUuid;
        }

        $fileAdder = $model->addMedia($file);

        // do something

        $fileAdder->toMediaCollection($collectionName, $diskName);
    });
AttachExisting

Allow attaching existing media.

Medialibrary::make('Media')->attachExisting(); // display all media
Medialibrary::make('Media')->attachExisting('collectionName'); // display media from a specific collection
Medialibrary::make('Media')->attachExisting(function (Builder $query, Request $request, HasMedia $model) {
    $query->where(...);
});
MediaOnIndex

Display media on index

Medialibrary::make('Media')->mediaOnIndex(1);
Medialibrary::make('Media')->mediaOnIndex(function (HasMedia $resource, string $collectionName) {
    return $resource->media()->where('collection_name', $collectionName)->limit(5)->get();
});
DownloadUsing
Medialibrary::make('Media')->downloadUsing('conversionName');
Medialibrary::make('Media')->downloadUsing(function (Media $media) {
    return $media->getFullUrl();
});
PreviewUsing
Medialibrary::make('Media')->previewUsing('conversionName');
Medialibrary::make('Media')->previewUsing(function (Media $media) {
    return $media->getFullUrl('preview');
});
Tooltip
Medialibrary::make('Media')->tooltip('file_name');
Medialibrary::make('Media')->tooltip(function (Media $media) {
    return $media->getCustomProperty('tooltip');
});
Title
Medialibrary::make('Media')->title('name');
Medialibrary::make('Media')->title(function (Media $media) {
    return $media->name;
});
CopyAs
Medialibrary::make('Media')->copyAs('Url', function (Media $media) {
    return $media->getFullUrl();
});

Medialibrary::make('Media')->copyAs('Html', function (Media $media) {
    return $media->img();
}, 'custom-icon');

// You can hide default "Copy Url"
Medialibrary::make('Media')->hideCopyUrlAction();
Croppable

https://github.com/fengyuanchen/cropperjs#options

Medialibrary::make('Media')->croppable('conversionName');
Medialibrary::make('Media')->croppable('conversionName', ['viewMode' => 3]);
Medialibrary::make('Media')->croppable('conversionName', [
    'rotatable' => false,
    'zoomable' => false,
    'cropBoxResizable' => false,
]);
Medialibrary::make('Media')->croppable('conversionName', function (Media $media) {
    return $media->getCustomProperty('croppable') ? ['viewMode' => 3] : null;
});

    ->attachRules('image', 'dimensions:min_width=500,min_height=500'); // applied to media

Sorting

Authorization Gates 'view', 'update' and 'delete'

To view, update and delete uploaded media, you need to setup some gates. You can use the store and replace callbacks to store additional information to the custom_properties. The additional information can be used inside the gates for authorization.

Gate::define('view', function ($user, $media) {
    return true; // view granted
});

Gate::define('update', function ($user, $media) {
    return true; // update granted
});

Gate::define('delete', function ($user, $media) {
    return true; // deletion granted
});

You can also use the policy.

class MediaPolicy
{
    public function view(User $user, Media $media): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function update(User $user, Media $media): bool
    {
        return true;
    }

    public function delete(User $user, Media $media): bool
    {
        return true;
    }
}

class AuthServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    protected $policies = [
        Media::class => MediaPolicy::class,
    ];

    //...
}
