Laravel Image Cache
===================

[](#laravel-image-cache)

Laravel Image Cache is a package that provides an easy-to-use caching mechanism for image manipulation in Laravel. It serves as a replacement for the now-abandoned imagecache package by Intervention.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- Cache manipulated images for improved performance.
- Support for multiple image drivers: GD, Imagick, and Libvips.
- Define custom image manipulation templates.
- Configurable cache lifetime and output formats.
- Dynamic routing for serving cached images.

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

[](#installation)

1. Install the package via Composer:

    ```
    composer require flobbos/laravel-image-cache
    ```
2. Publish the configuration file:

    ```
    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config --provider="Flobbos\LaravelImageCache\ImageCacheServiceProvider"
    ```
3. Configure the `config/imagecache.php` file as needed.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic Example

[](#basic-example)

To use the package, you can define templates in the configuration file and use the `ImageCache` facade to generate cached images.

```
use Flobbos\LaravelImageCache\Facades\ImageCache;

// Example: Apply the "small" template to an image
$cachedImage = ImageCache::template('path/to/image.jpg', 'small');
```

### Dynamic Image Routes

[](#dynamic-image-routes)

The package provides a dynamic route for serving cached images. For example:

```
/images/{template}/{path}

```

- `template`: The name of the template defined in the configuration file.
- `path`: The relative path to the image in the `public/images` directory.

Example URL:

```
http://your-app.test/images/small/example.jpg

```

### Custom Templates

[](#custom-templates)

You can define custom templates by creating a class that implements a `build` method. For example:

```
namespace App\ImageTemplates;

use Intervention\Image\Interfaces\ImageInterface;

class CustomTemplate
{
    public function build(ImageInterface $image)
    {
        $image->resize(800, 600);
    }
}
```

Then, register the template in the `config/imagecache.php` file:

```
'templates' => [
    'custom' => \App\ImageTemplates\CustomTemplate::class,
],
```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The configuration file `config/imagecache.php` allows you to customize:

- **lifetime**: Cache lifetime in minutes.
- **driver**: Image processing driver (`gd`, `imagick`, or `vips`).
- **store**: Cache store to use (from your Laravel cache config).
- **format**: Default output format (e.g., `jpg`, `png`).
- **return\_obj**: Whether to return an Intervention Image object or a response.
- **templates**: Image manipulation templates (see above for custom templates).
- **paths**: Directories to search for images (see below).
- **route**: The dynamic route name for serving images.

### Paths

[](#paths)

You can specify one or more directories where the package should look for images.
Example from `config/imagecache.php`:

```
'paths' => [
    public_path('images'),
    storage_path('app/public/images'),
],
```

When a request is made, the package will search these directories for the requested image file in the order listed.

### Dynamic Image Routes

[](#dynamic-image-routes-1)

By default, the package registers a dynamic route for serving cached images:

```
/images/{template}/{path}

```

- `template`: The name of the template defined in your configuration.
- `path`: The relative path to the image file.

**Example URL:**

```
http://your-app.test/images/small/example.jpg

```

#### Customizing the Route

[](#customizing-the-route)

You can change the route prefix by editing the `route` option in `config/imagecache.php`:

```
'dynamic_route' => 'images',
```

For example, setting `'dynamic_route' => 'imgcache'` will make your URLs look like:

```
http://your-app.test/imgcache/small/example.jpg

```
