[](#imgcache-)

> Cache any image from any source locally in your Laravel app

### Installation

[](#installation)

1. Install using Composer

```
composer require indent/imgcache --prefer-dist
```

2. Create symbolic link between `public/` directory and `storage/imgcache/`

```
php artisan imgcache:link
```

3. Add your Cloudinary cloud name in `config/services.php`. You can find your cloud name in the Cloudinary dashboard.

```
return [
    'imgcache' => [
        'cloudinary' => [
            'cloud_name' => env('CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME', ''),
        ],
    ],
];
```

### Usage

[](#usage)

Use Imgcache by calling the fascade or use the global helper.

#### Fascade

[](#fascade)

```
class ProductController
{
    public function show()
    {
        $img = Imgcache::make('https://picsum.photos/id/1/100/100')->get();

        return view('product.show', [
            'img' => $img,
        ]);
    }
}
```

#### Helper

[](#helper)

The global helper is useful when rendering an image in HTML or Blade views

```
{{-- When called in a Blade view Imgcache will be stringified --}}
get() }} alt="...">
```

#### Inline hashes

[](#inline-hashes)

You can generate very small image hashes to load inline in your Blade templates, then lazy load the actual image later.
