Nova Media Library
==================

[](#nova-media-library)

This [Laravel Nova](https://nova.laravel.com/) package provides frontend UI and field with some useful options over forked and modified for our usage library [spatie\\laravel-medialibrary](https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-medialibrary/v9/introduction). Documentation how to use base media library could be found [here](https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-medialibrary/v9/introduction).

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require apimediaru/nova-media-library

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Step 1: register model collections and conversions

```
use APIMedia\NovaMediaLibrary\Http\Services\MediaLibraryService;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia;
use Spatie\Image\Manipulations;

class ExampleModel extends Model implements HasMedia
{
    use InteractsWithMedia;

    /**
     * Register media collections
     */
    public function registerMediaCollections(): void
    {
        $this->addMediaCollection('gallery');
    }

    /**
     * Register media conversions
     *
     * @throws \Spatie\Image\Exceptions\InvalidManipulation
     */
    public function registerMediaConversions(Media $media = null): void
    {
        // Adds 'thumbnail' conversions attached to all collections
        MediaLibraryService::addLibraryConversions($this);

        $this->addMediaConversion('thumb')
            ->fit(Manipulations::FIT_CROP, 150, 150)
            ->performOnCollections('gallery');

        $this->addMediaConversion('medium')
            ->fit(Manipulations::FIT_MAX, 720, 720)
            ->performOnCollections('gallery');

        $this->addMediaConversion('large')
            ->fit(Manipulations::FIT_MAX, 1920, 1920)
            ->performOnCollections('gallery');
    }
}

```

Step 2: add nova field. Collection key resolves as nova default field attribute, so you can omit the second argument for `make` method.

```
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;

class ExampleResource extends Resource {
    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ...
            MediaField::make(__('gallery'), 'gallery'),
        ];
    }
}

```

### Limit media files count

[](#limit-media-files-count)

```
public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ...
            MediaField::make(__('gallery'), 'gallery')
                ->limit(10),
        ];
    }

```

### Disable / enable checking duplicates for certain collection

[](#disable--enable-checking-duplicates-for-certain-collection)

```
public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ...
            MediaField::make(__('gallery'), 'gallery')
                ->checkDuplicates(false),
        ];
    }

```
