This package keeps tracks of all the uploaded files and provides an easier interface for the user to interact with the files. It currently features - - Single and multiple file uploads. - Third party storage support. - Chunk upload with upload resume capability. - Global server side validation for temporary files. - Controller level validation before moving the files to permanent location. - Artisan command to clean up temporary files and folders after they have expired. **Attention:** People who are already using version less than < 1.3.8 are requested to update the `./config/filepond.php` file when upgrading as the newer version contains significant changes. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install the package via composer: ``` composer require rahulhaque/laravel-filepond ``` Laravel 7 users use less than 1.x version. ``` composer require rahulhaque/laravel-filepond "~0" ``` Publish the configuration and migration files. ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider="RahulHaque\Filepond\FilepondServiceProvider" ``` Run the migration. ``` php artisan migrate ``` Quickstart ---------- [](#quickstart) Before we begin, first install and integrate the [FilePond](https://pqina.nl/filepond/docs/) library in your project any way you prefer. We will make up a scenario for the new-comers to get them started with FilePond right away. Let's assume we are updating a user avatar and his/her gallery like the form below. ``` @csrf {{ $errors->first('avatar') }} {{ $errors->first('gallery.*') }} Submit // Set default FilePond options FilePond.setOptions({ server: { url: "{{ config('filepond.server.url') }}", headers: { 'X-CSRF-TOKEN': "{{ @csrf_token() }}", } } }); // Create the FilePond instance FilePond.create(document.querySelector('input[name="avatar"]')); FilePond.create(document.querySelector('input[name="gallery[]"]'), {chunkUploads: true}); ``` Now selecting a file with FilePond input field will upload the file in the temporary directory immediately and append the hidden input in the form. Submit the form to process the uploaded file like below in your controller. In `UserAvatarController.php` get and process the submitted file by calling the `moveTo()` method from the `Filepond` facade which will return the moved file information as well as delete the file from the temporary storage. ``` use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Routing\Controller; use RahulHaque\Filepond\Facades\Filepond; class UserAvatarController extends Controller { /** * Update the avatar for the user. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function update(Request $request) { // For single file validation Filepond::field($request->avatar) ->validate(['avatar' => 'required|image|max:2000']); // For multiple file validation Filepond::field($request->gallery) ->validate(['gallery.*' => 'required|image|max:2000']); $avatarName = 'avatar-' . auth()->id(); $fileInfo = Filepond::field($request->avatar) ->moveTo('avatars/' . $avatarName); // dd($fileInfo); // [ // "id" => 1, // "dirname" => "avatars", // "basename" => "avatar-1.png", // "extension" => "png", // "filename" => "avatar-1", // "location" => "avatars/avatar-1.png", // "url" => "http://localhost/storage/avatars/avatar-1.png", // ]; $galleryName = 'gallery-' . auth()->id(); $fileInfos = Filepond::field($request->gallery) ->moveTo('galleries/' . $galleryName); // dd($fileInfos); // [ // [ // "id" => 1, // "dirname" => "galleries", // "basename" => "gallery-1-1.png", // "extension" => "png", // "filename" => "gallery-1-1", // "location" => "galleries/gallery-1-1.png", // "url" => "http://localhost/storage/galleries/gallery-1-1.png", // ], // [ // "id" => 2, // "dirname" => "galleries", // "basename" => "gallery-1-2.png", // "extension" => "png", // "filename" => "gallery-1-2", // "location" => "galleries/gallery-1-2.png", // "url" => "http://localhost/storage/galleries/gallery-1-2.png", // ], // [ // "id" => 3, // "dirname" => "galleries", // "basename" => "gallery-1-3.png", // "extension" => "png", // "filename" => "gallery-1-3", // "location" => "galleries/gallery-1-3.png", // "url" => "http://localhost/storage/galleries/gallery-1-3.png", // ], // ] } } ``` This is the quickest way to get started. This package has already implemented all the classes and controllers for you. Next we will discuss about all the nitty gritty stuffs available. > **Important:** If you have Laravel debugbar installed, make sure to add `filepond*` in the `except` array of the `./config/debugbar.php` to ignore appending debugbar information. Configuration ------------- [](#configuration) First have a look at the `./config/filepond.php` to know about all the options available out of the box. Some important ones mentioned below. #### Permanent Storage [](#permanent-storage) This package uses Laravel's public filesystem driver for permanent file storage by default. Change the `disk` option to anything you prefer for permanent storage. Hold up! But I am using different disks for different uploads. Don't worry. You will be able to change the disk name on the fly with [copyTo()](https://github.com/rahulhaque/laravel-filepond#copyto) and [moveTo()](https://github.com/rahulhaque/laravel-filepond#moveto) methods. #### Temporary Storage [](#temporary-storage) This package uses Laravel's local filesystem driver for temporary file storage by default. Change the `temp_disk` and `temp_folder` name to points towards directory for temporary file storage. > **Note:** Setting temporary file storage to third party will upload the files directly to cloud. On the other hand, you will lose the ability to use controller level validation because the files will not be available in your application server. #### Validation Rules [](#validation-rules) Default global server side validation rules can be changed by modifying `validation_rules` array in `./config/filepond.php`. These rules will be applicable to all file uploads by FilePond's `/process` route. #### Middleware [](#middleware) By default all filepond's routes are protected by `web` and `auth` middleware. Change it if necessary. #### Soft Delete [](#soft-delete) By default `soft_delete` is set to `true` to keep track of all the files uploaded by the users. Set it to false if you want to delete the files with delete request. #### Table [](#table) By default Filepond model maps to table `fileponds`. Change it if you created a table with a different name in your database migration. Commands (Cleanup) ------------------ [](#commands-cleanup) This package includes a `php artisan filepond:clear` command to clean up the expired files from the temporary storage. File `expiration` minute can be set in the config file, default is 30 minutes. Add this command to your scheduled command list to run daily. Know more about task scheduling here - [Scheduling Artisan Commands](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/scheduling#scheduling-artisan-commands) This command takes a `--all` option which will truncate the `Filepond` model and delete everything inside the temporary storage regardless they are expired or not. This is useful when you lost track of your uploaded files and want to start clean. > If you see your files are not deleted even after everything is set up correctly, then its probably the directory permission issue. Try setting the permission of filepond's temporary directory to 775 with `sudo chmod -R 775 ./storage/app/filepond/`. And run `php artisan filepond:clear --all` for a clean start (optional). For third party storage like - amazon s3, make sure you have the correct policy set. ### Methods [](#methods) #### field() [](#field) `Filepond::field($field)` is a required method which tell the library which FilePond form field to work with. Chain the rest of the methods as required. #### validate() [](#validate) Calling the `Filepond::field()->validate($rules)` method will validate the temporarily stored file before moving or copying further. Supports both single and multiple files validation just as Laravel's default form validation does. > **Note:** This method is not available when third party storage is set as your temporary storage. The files are uploaded directly to your third party storage and not available locally for any further modification. Calling this method in such condition will throw error that the file is not found. #### copyTo() [](#copyto) Calling the `Filepond::field()->copyTo($pathWithFilename)` method will copy the file from the temporary storage to the path provided along with the filename. It will set the file extension **automatically**. By default the files will be copied to directory relative to config's `disk` option. You can also pass a disk name as **second parameter** if you want to override that. This method will return the copied file info along with `Filepond` model id. For multiple file upload, it will return an array of copied files info. Also note that multiple files will be copied with **trailing incremental** values like `$filename-{$i}`. #### moveTo() [](#moveto) Calling the `Filepond::field()->moveTo($pathWithFilename)` method works the same way as `copyTo()` method. By default the files will be moved to directory relative to config's `disk` option. You can also pass a disk name as **second parameter** if you want to override that. One thing it does extra for you is delete the temporary file after copying, respecting the value of config's `soft_delete` option for `Filepond` model. #### delete() [](#delete) Calling the `Filepond::field()->delete()` method will delete the temporary file respecting the soft delete configuration for `Filepond` model. This method is useful when you're manually handling the file processing using `getFile()` method. ### APIs [](#apis) If you need more granular approach and know the ins and outs of this package, you may use the below APIs to get the underneath file object and file model to interact with them further. #### getFile() [](#getfile) `Filepond::field()->getFile()` method returns the file object same as the Laravel's `$request->file()` object. For multiple uploads, it will return an array of uploaded file objects. You can then process the file manually any way you want. Processing the file object manually will not update the associated `Filepond` model which is used to keep track of the uploaded files. However the expired files will be cleaned up as usual by the scheduled command. It is recommended that you either call the [delete()](#delete) method or update the underlying model by calling [getModel()](#getModel) method after the processing is done. > **Note:** This method is not available when third party storage is set as your temporary storage. The files are uploaded directly to your third party storage and not available locally for any further modification. Calling this method in such condition will throw error that the file is not found. #### getModel() [](#getmodel) `Filepond::field()->getModel()` method returns the underlying Laravel `Filepond` model for the given field. This is useful when you have added some custom fields to update in the published migration file for your need. ### Traits [](#traits) There is a `HasFilepond` trait available to get the temporary files uploaded by the users. ``` namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable; use RahulHaque\Filepond\Traits\HasFilepond; class User extends Authenticatable { use HasFilepond; } ``` Now you can get all the files info uploaded by a single user like this. ``` User::find(1)->fileponds; ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information what has changed recently.
