=================

[](#aek-file-uploader)

This is the official repository for the file uploader.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install aek-file-uploader with composer

```
  composer require aek/file-uploader
```

You need to update your application configuration in order to register the package so it can be loaded by Laravel, just update your config/app.php file adding the following code at the end of your 'providers' section:

```
config/app.php

 [
        \AEK\FileUploader\FileUploaderServiceProvider::class,
        // ...
    ],
    // ...
];
```

For Laravel, you should publish

```
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="AEK\FileUploader\FileUploaderServiceProvider"
    // or
    php artisan vendor:publish
```

Usage/Examples
--------------

[](#usageexamples)

You should define the **destination, visibility, and name\_of\_column**. The package will upload the file to the destination as you defined visibility and **add the path of the file after uploading as a value to your model as name\_of\_column variable.**

```
use AEK\FileUploader\Traits\FileUploader;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use FileUploader;

    /*
        Here you should define a variable which name is $fileUploader and this should be array.
        This array also should has another arrays which include special configurations for each column that you want to add value to the database.
     */
    public $fileUploader = [
        [
            // this is a folder in which we will keep files
            // each column can have another folder for the keep them in a tidy
            "destination" => "users/profile_pictures",

            // this is visibility of the file "public" or "private"
            "visibility"=> "public",

            // Here, you should define column name of the database
            "name_of_column" => "profile_picture"
        ],
        [
            "destination" => "users/credit_cards",
            "visibility"=> "private",
            "name_of_column" => "credit_card_picture"
        ]
    ];
}
```

```
Route::post('/', function (\Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {
        $user = new \App\Models\User();
        $user->name = $request->name;
        // additional values for the model
