Laravel Clyde
=============

[](#laravel-clyde)

*Image uploads and manipulation for Laravel, a wrapper around Glide*

You can use the package to upload your images to local filesystem or S3 and display them on your site in various sizes. Thanks to [Glide](http://glide.thephpleague.com/) all manipulated images will be cached and reserved on subsequent visits.

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

[](#installation)

Install through composer:

```
composer require antennaio/laravel-clyde:~0.0.1

```

Add the service provider to config:

```
// config/app.php
'provider' => [
    ...
    Antennaio\Clyde\ClydeServiceProvider::class,
    ...
];

```

If you intend to use facades, install those as well:

```
// config/app.php
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'ClydeUpload' => Antennaio\Clyde\Facades\ClydeUpload::class,
    'ClydeImage' => Antennaio\Clyde\Facades\ClydeImage::class,
    ...
];

```

Publish configuration:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Antennaio\Clyde\ClydeServiceProvider"

```

Uploads
-------

[](#uploads)

You can use dependency injection or facades, it's up to you.

```
use Antennaio\Clyde\ClydeUpload;

...

protected $uploads;

public function __construct(ClydeUpload $uploads)
{
    $this->uploads = $uploads;
}

public function upload(Request $request)
{
    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $filename = $this->uploads->upload($request->file('image'));
    }
}
```

```
use Antennaio\Clyde\Facades\ClydeUpload;

...

public function upload(Request $request)
{
    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $filename = ClydeUpload::upload($request->file('image'));
    }
}
```

Each filename generated by Clyde is unique. Make sure to store the filename, so that you can display the image at a later time.

You can control the location of where the uploaded file will be saved by passing an additional argument to the `upload` method. Below is an example of how to save an image and keep its original name:

```
ClydeUpload::upload($request->file('image'), $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName());
```

You may also use a closure to modify the file path:

```
ClydeUpload::upload($request->file('image'), function ($filename) {
    return 'profile-images'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$filename;
});
```

You can also check if an image already exists:

```
// returns true or false
ClydeUpload::exists('image.jpg');
```

Or delete a previously uploaded image:

```
ClydeUpload::delete('image.jpg');
```

Displaying images
-----------------

[](#displaying-images)

```

```

You can pass various image manipulations as the second parameter:

```

```

For the full list of available manipulations take a look at the Glide docs:

Additionally, you can setup presets and use them as a quicker way to apply manipulations to the images:

```
// config/clyde.php
'presets' => [
    [
        'thumbnail' => [
            'w' => 100,
            'h' => 100,
            'fit' => 'crop'
        ]
    ]
],

```

```

```

Watermarks
----------

[](#watermarks)

Watermarks are stored on the local filesystem by default. To use watermarks put the watermark files in `storage/app/watermarks` directory. To adjust the location where watermark files are stored you can edit `watermarks` and `watermarks_path_prefix` entries in the config.

```
ClydeImage::url('56a1472beca5d.jpg', [
    'mark' => 'watermark.png',
    'markpos' => 'top-right',
    'markw' => '50',
    'markh' => '50',
    'markpad' => '10'
]);

```

Security
--------

[](#security)

All URLs generated by Clyde are signed by default. This means that there is always a signature appended to all URLs and verified when an image is displayed. To turn this feature off set the `secure_urls`key to false in the config (not recommended).

Clyde?
------

[](#clyde)

The package name is a tribute to Clyde "The Glide" Drexler.
