Cloudinary Fields and Adapter for Laravel Nova

A collection of Laravel Nova fields with a Flysystem Adapter for storing and retrieving media from Cloudinary.

This package will enable you to use the Cloudinary service to handle your Nova file uploads.

Package maintenance

Unfortunately I am no longer actively working in the Laravel ecosystem and as such am unable to maintian this package. If anyone would like to take over the maintenance of the package please get in touch (open an issue or contact me on Twitter).

Installation

Install the package using composer

composer require silvanite/nova-field-cloudinary

Add the cloudinary disk to the filesystem config and set the environment variables for your Cloudinary account.

// config/filesystem.php
return [
    ...
    'disks' => [
        ...
        'cloudinary' => [
            'driver' => 'cloudinary',
            'api_key' => env('CLOUDINARY_API_KEY'),
            'api_secret' => env('CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET'),
            'cloud_name' => env('CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME'),
        ]
    ]
];

Using the CloudinaryImage Field

Simply use the CloudinaryImage field in your Resource's fields instead of the standard Nova Image field. This component extends the default Image field so you can use it with all the same options as the standard field.

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCloudinary\Fields\CloudinaryImage;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        ...
        CloudinaryImage::make('Profile Photo'),
    ]
}

This will essentially do the same as Image::make()->disk('cloudinary') but it will also serve resized and optimised preview and thumbnail images within the Nova UI itself. However if you don't want this you can just use the standard Image field.

To use images in your application you can either use the cloudinary_image helper or read the image using the Storage facade.

// Using the helper (with transformation)

return cloudinary_image($this->profile_photo, [
    "width" => 200,
    "height" => 200,
    "crop" => "fill",
    "gravity" => "auto",
])

// Using the Storage Facade (without transformation)

return Storage::disk('cloudinary')->url($this->profile_photo);

// Using the Storage Facade (with transformation)

return Storage::disk('cloudinary')->url([
    'public_id' => $this->profile_photo,
    'options' => [
        "width" => 200,
        "height" => 200,
        "crop" => "fill",
        "gravity" => "auto",
    ],
])

Max file size

Cloudinary imposes maximum file sizes on images depending on your account plan. At the time of writing the free plan allows images up to 10mb.

If a successfully uploaded image is transformed by cloudinary and upscaled past this file size, the download of that image will fail with a 400 error on the front end.

This situation is especially likely to occur if working with animated GIF images which are typically quite large files at smaller resolutions, liable to upscaling by image processors.

Using the CloudinaryAudio Field

Simply use the CloudinaryAudio field in your Resource's fields. This component extends davidpiesse/nova-audio which in turn extends the default Nova File field so you can use it with all the same options as the standard field.

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCloudinary\Fields\CloudinaryAudio;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        ...
        CloudinaryAudio::make('Audio Source'),
    ]
}

This field sets the disk in use to Cloudinary and ensures the media is stored in the database field with the correct file extension. Further to this, the field sets the preview URL to use the appropriate path within Cloudinary so that the audio can be played back in the CMS.

To use the audio files in your application you can either use the cloudinary_audio() helper or read the audio file using the Storage facade. Note, Cloudinary stores both images and video together so if using the Storage facade, the resource_type should be set to video in the options array.

// Using the audio helper

return cloudinary_audio($this->audio_source);

// Using the Storage Facade

return Storage::disk('cloudinary')->url([
    'public_id' => $this->audio_source,
    'options' => [
        "resource_type" => "video",
    ],
])

Using the CloudinaryVideo Field

Simply use the CloudinaryVideo field in your Resource's fields. This component extends the default Nova File field so you can use it with all the same options as the standard field.

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCloudinary\Fields\CloudinaryVideo;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        ...
        CloudinaryVideo::make('Video Source'),
    ]
}

This field sets the disk in use to Cloudinary and ensures the media is stored in the database field with the correct file extension.

To use the video files in your application you can either use the cloudinary_video() helper or read the video file using the Storage facade.

// Using the video helper

return cloudinary_video($this->video_source);

// Using the Storage Facade

return Storage::disk('cloudinary')->url([
    'public_id' => $this->audio_source,
    'options' => [
        "resource_type" => "video",
    ],
])

Using the CloudinaryFile Field

Simply use the CloudinaryFile field in your Resource's fields instead of the standard Nova File field. This component extends the default File field so you can use it with all the same options as the standard field.

use Silvanite\NovaFieldCloudinary\Fields\CloudinaryFile;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        ...
        CloudinaryFile::make('Document'),
    ]
}

This field sets the disk in use to Cloudinary and ensures the media is stored in the database field with the correct file extension.
