laravel-filecaster
==================

[](#laravel-filecaster)

A simple file casting for laravel model to handle file upload and retrieve

---

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require sabbir268/laravel-filecaster
```

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

[](#configuration)

**Cast Class Alias**Add in aliases array (optional)

```
'aliases' => Facade::defaultAliases()->merge([
    // ...
    'filecast' => Sabbir268\LaravelFileCaster\FileCaster::class,
    // ...
])->toArray(),
```

Publish config file

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sabbir268\LaravelFileCaster\FileCasterServiceProvider"
```

Use from Model
--------------

[](#use-from-model)

#### Import FileCaster class

[](#import-filecaster-class)

```
use Sabbir268\LaravelFileCaster\FileCaster;
```

### Example: manage "image" file upload and retrieve

[](#example-manage-image-file-upload-and-retrieve)

Let's assume, we have Blog model and there is a column `image` to store image file.

```
use App\Models;
use Sabbir268\LaravelFileCaster\FileCaster;

class Blog extends Model
{
    // ...
    protected $casts = [
        'image' => FileCaster::class,
    ];
    // ...
}
```

Or, you can use `filecast` as alias of `Sabbir268\LaravelFileCaster\FileCaster` class.

```
use App\Models;

class Blog extends Model
{
    // ...
    protected $casts = [
        'image' => 'filecast',
    ];
    // ...
}
```

Now when you will create a new Blog model instance and has a file from request assign to `image` property, it will automatically upload the file to `storage/app/public/{class_name}/{id}` directory and store the file name with path in `image` column.

```
$blog = new Blog();
$blog->image = $request->file('image');
$blog->save();
```

And when you will retrieve the model instance, it will automatically retrieve the file path from `image` column and you can use it as like as a string.

```
$blog = Blog::find(1);
echo $blog->image; // output: /storage/blog/1/image.jpg
```

#### There several methods/property you can use to retrieve the file information.

[](#there-several-methodsproperty-you-can-use-to-retrieve-the-file-information)

```
// get file name
$blog->image->name; // output: image.jpg

// get file extension
$blog->image->extension; // output: jpg

// get file size
$blog->image->size; // output: 1024

// get image width
$blog->image->width; // output: 200

// get image height

$blog->image->height; // output: 200

// get file mime type
$blog->image->mime; // output: image/jpeg

// get file http url
$blog->image->url; // output: http://example.com/storage/blog/1/image.jpg

// get file full path
$blog->image->path; // output: /var/www/html/storage/app/public/blog/1/image.jpg

// get storage directory
$blog->image->dir; // output: /var/www/html/storage/app/public/blog/1

// check if file exists
$blog->image->exists; // output: true
```

If you want to get manipulated image url, you can use `ur('WIDTHxHEIGHT')` method.

```
$blog->image->url('200x200'); // output: http://example.com/storage/cache/200x200/blog-2-image1.jpg
```

Note: It will create a manipulated image in storage cache directory. You will need `gd` or `imagick` extension installed in your server.

If you want to delete the file, you can use `remove()` method.

```
$blog->image->remove(); // output: true
```
