============================

[](#laravel-google-cloud-storage)

A Google Cloud Storage filesystem for Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require it-devgroup/laravel-google-cloud-storage
```

If you are on Laravel 5.4 or earlier, then register the service provider in app.php

```
'providers' => [
    // ...
    ItDevgroup\LaravelGoogleCloudStorage\GoogleCloudStorageServiceProvider::class,
]
```

If you are on Laravel 5.5 or higher, composer will have registered the provider automatically for you.

Add a new disk to your `filesystems.php` config

```
'gcs' => [
    'driver' => 'gcs',
    'project_id' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT_ID', 'your-project-id'),
    'key_file' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_KEY_FILE', null), // optional: /path/to/service-account.json
    'bucket' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_STORAGE_BUCKET', 'your-bucket'),
    'path_prefix' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_STORAGE_PATH_PREFIX', null), // optional: /default/path/to/apply/in/bucket
    'storage_api_uri' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_STORAGE_API_URI', null), // see: Public URLs below
    'visibility' => 'public', // optional: public|private
],
```

### Authentication

[](#authentication)

The Google Client uses a few methods to determine how it should authenticate with the Google API.

1. If you specify a path in the key `key_file` in disk config, that json credentials file will be used.
2. If the `GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS` env var is set, it will use that.

    ```
    putenv('GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/service-account.json');
    ```
3. It will then try load the key file from a 'well known path':

    - windows: %APPDATA%/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json
    - others: $HOME/.config/gcloud/application\_default\_credentials.json
4. If running in **Google App Engine**, the built-in service account associated with the application will be used.
5. If running in **Google Compute Engine**, the built-in service account associated with the virtual machine instance will be used.
6. If you want to authenticate directly without using a json file, you can specify an array for `key_file` in disk config with this data:

    ```
    'key_file' => [
        'type' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_ACCOUNT_TYPE'),
        'private_key_id' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PRIVATE_KEY_ID'),
        'private_key' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_PRIVATE_KEY'),
        'client_email' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_CLIENT_EMAIL'),
        'client_id' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_CLIENT_ID'),
        'auth_uri' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_AUTH_URI'),
        'token_uri' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_TOKEN_URI'),
        'auth_provider_x509_cert_url' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_AUTH_PROVIDER_CERT_URL'),
        'client_x509_cert_url' => env('GOOGLE_CLOUD_CLIENT_CERT_URL'),
    ],
    ```

### Public URLs

[](#public-urls)

The adapter implements a `getUrl($path)` method which returns a public url to a file.

> **Note:** Method available for Laravel 5.2 and higher. If used on 5.1, it will throw an exception.

```
$disk = Storage::disk('gcs');
$url = $disk->url('folder/my_file.txt');
>>> http://storage.googleapis.com/bucket-name/folder/my_file.txt
```

If you configure a `path_prefix` in your config:

```
$disk = Storage::disk('gcs');
$url = $disk->url('folder/my_file.txt');
>>> http://storage.googleapis.com/bucket-name/path-prefix/folder/my_file.txt
```

If you configure a custom `storage_api_uri` in your config:

```
$disk = Storage::disk('gcs');
$url = $disk->url('folder/my_file.txt');
>>> http://your-custom-domain.com/bucket-name/path-prefix/folder/my_file.txt
```

For a custom domain (storage api uri), you will need to configure a CNAME DNS entry pointing to `storage.googleapis.com`.

Please see  for further instructions.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
$disk = Storage::disk('gcs');

// create a file
$disk->put('avatars/1', $fileContents);

// check if a file exists
$exists = $disk->exists('file.jpg');

// get file modification date
$time = $disk->lastModified('file1.jpg');

// copy a file
$disk->copy('old/file1.jpg', 'new/file1.jpg');

// move a file
$disk->move('old/file1.jpg', 'new/file1.jpg');

// get url to file
$url = $disk->url('folder/my_file.txt');

// Set the visibility of file to public
$disk->setVisibility('folder/my_file.txt', 'public');

// See https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/filesystem for full list of available functionality
```
