Associate files with Eloquent models

This package can associate all sorts of files with Eloquent models. It provides a simple API to work with. To learn all about it, head over to the extensive documentation.

Here are a few short examples of what you can do:

$newsItem = News::find(1);
$newsItem->addMedia($pathToFile)->toMediaCollection('images');

It can handle your uploads directly:

$newsItem->addMedia($request->file('image'))->toMediaCollection('images');

Want to store some large files on another filesystem? No problem:

$newsItem->addMedia($smallFile)->toMediaCollection('downloads', 'local');
$newsItem->addMedia($bigFile)->toMediaCollection('downloads', 's3');

The storage of the files is handled by Laravel's Filesystem, so you can use any filesystem you like. Additionally the package can create image manipulations on images and pdfs that have been added in the medialibrary.

Using an older version of Laravel?

This version of the medialibrary is compatible with Laravel 5.5 and newer.

If you use an older version of Laravel you can use an older version of the package. These aren't maintained anymore, but they should be pretty stable. We still accept small bugfixes.

• Medialibrary v6 for Laravel 5.5 / PHP 7.0
• Medialibrary v5 for Laravel 5.4
• Medialibray v4 for Laravel 5.1 - 5.3

Documentation

You'll find the documentation on https://docs.spatie.be/laravel-medialibrary/v7.

Find yourself stuck using the package? Found a bug? Do you have general questions or suggestions for improving the media library? Feel free to create an issue on GitHub, we'll try to address it as soon as possible.

If you've found a bug regarding security please mail freek@spatie.be instead of using the issue tracker.

Requirements

To create derived images GD should be installed on your server. For the creation of thumbnails of svg's or pdf's you should also install Imagick.

Installation

You can install this package via composer using this command:

composer require "spatie/laravel-medialibrary:^7.0.0"

The package will automatically register itself.

You can publish the migration with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaLibraryServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

After the migration has been published you can create the media-table by running the migrations:

php artisan migrate

You can publish the config-file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaLibraryServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

By default medialibrary will store it's files on Laravel's public disk. If you want a dedicated disk you should add a disk to app/config/filesystems.php. This would be a typical configuration:

    ...
    'disks' => [
        ...

        'media' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root'   => public_path().'/media',
            'url' => env('APP_URL') . '/media',
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],
    ...

All files of the medialibrary will be stored on that disk. If you are planning on working with the image manipulations you should configure a queue on your service with the name specified in the config file.

Lumen Support

Lumen configuration is slightly more involved but features and API are identical to Laravel.

Install using this command:

composer require spatie/laravel-medialibrary

Uncomment the following lines in the bootstrap file:

// bootstrap/app.php:
$app->withFacades();
$app->withEloquent();

Configure the laravel-medialibrary service provider (and AppServiceProvider if not already enabled):

// bootstrap/app.php:
$app->register(App\Providers\AppServiceProvider::class);
$app->register(Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaLibraryServiceProvider::class);

Update the AppServiceProvider register method to bind the filesystem manager to the IOC container:

// app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton('filesystem', function ($app) {
        return $app->loadComponent('filesystems', 'Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemServiceProvider', 'filesystem');
    });

    $this->app->bind('Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Factory', function($app) {
        return new \Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemManager($app);
    });
}

Manually copy the package config file to app\config\laravel-medialibrary.php (you may need to create the config directory if it does not already exist).

Copy the Laravel filesystem config file into app\config\filesystem.php. You should add a disk configuration to the filesystem config matching the default_filesystem specified in the laravel-medialibrary config file.

Finally, update boostrap/app.php to load both config files:

// bootstrap/app.php
$app->configure('medialibrary');
$app->configure('filesystems');

Testing

You can run the tests with:

vendor/bin/phpunit
