This package extends Laravel's [`UploadedFile`](https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/8.x/src/Illuminate/Http/UploadedFile.php) functionality using file URLs instead of regular file uploads.

Read the full post in my blog:

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

[](#installation)

You can install the package via composer:

```
composer require naxon/laravel-url-uploaded-file
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use Naxon\UrlUploadedFile\UrlUploadedFile;

$file = UrlUploadedFile::createFromUrl('https://naxon.dev/assets/img/portrait.jpg');
```

Now, because `UrlUploadedFile` extends `UploadedFile`, you can [store](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/requests#storing-uploaded-files) it, get its [path and extension](https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/requests#storing-uploaded-files) and use `UploadedFile`'s functionality with it.

Testing
-------

[](#testing)

```
composer test
```

Changelog
---------

[](#changelog)

Please see [CHANGELOG](CHANGELOG.md) for more information on what has changed recently.

Roadmap
-------

[](#roadmap)

Version 1.0 provides basic functionality only. It was extracted from a real project I was working on. The plan for version 2.0 is to extend the functionality by adding more downloaders.
