Laravel Files
=============

[](#laravel-files)

A universal, plug-and-play file management system for Laravel. Upload, optimize, serve, and attach files to any Eloquent model — with disk-agnostic storage, automatic image optimization, chunked uploads, and a built-in warehouse endpoint.

---

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Attach files to any model** — polymorphic MorphToMany relationship via the `HasFiles` trait
- **Role-based attachments** — tag files as `avatar`, `gallery`, `document`, etc. using the `FileLinkType` enum or custom strings
- **Disk-agnostic** — works with any Laravel filesystem disk (local, S3, GCS, …)
- **Automatic image optimization** — on-the-fly resizing and WebP conversion via [spatie/image](https://github.com/spatie/image)
- **Chunked uploads** — upload large files in pieces with real-time progress broadcasting
- **Warehouse endpoint** — a single route that resolves and serves any file by UUID, encrypted ID, or asset path
- **UUID primary keys** — every file gets a unique, non-sequential identifier
- **Artisan cleanup** — remove orphaned files that are no longer attached to any model

---

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
composer require blax-software/laravel-files
```

Publish the config and migrations:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=files-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=files-migrations
php artisan migrate
```

Add the trait to any model:

```
use Blax\Files\Traits\HasFiles;

class User extends Model
{
    use HasFiles;
}
```

Attach a file:

```
use Blax\Files\Enums\FileLinkType;

$user = User::find(1);

// Upload and attach in one call
$file = $user->uploadFile($request->file('avatar'), as: FileLinkType::Avatar, replace: true);

// Get the avatar back
$avatar = $user->getAvatar();
echo $avatar->url;       // → /warehouse/019d8ab8-…
echo $avatar->size_human; // → "2.4 MB"
```
