Utilize the Provided Methods
----------------------------

[](#utilize-the-provided-methods)

#### Get Image Disk

[](#get-image-disk)

- The getImageDisk() method retrieves the name of the image storage disk. By default, it reads the FILESYSTEM\_DISK environment variable. You can specify a different disk by setting the FILESYSTEM\_DISK variable in your environment configuration.

```
$this->getImageDisk();

```

- Make sure that your `.env` file and config `filesystems.default` has the FILESYSTEM\_DISK variable, for example:

```
FILESYSTEM_DISK=local

```

```
'default' => env('FILESYSTEM_DISK', 'local'),

```

- To use the database for storing configuration, you need to run a migration with the following command:

```
php artisan migrate

```

- The above command will create a "settings" table with the following structure:

```
Schema::create('settings', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('key')->unique();
    $table->text('value');
    $table->timestamps();
});

```

- We have provided sample data for you to test. You can seed the sample data with the following command.

```
php artisan db:seed --class=Stew\\ImageUploader\\Database\\Seeders\\SettingSeeder

```

- To use configuration from the "settings" table (by default), you can use the following function:

```
$this->getImageDisk('YOUR TABLE') // Default is "settings"

```

- If you want to customize the seeded data, you can use the following command:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Stew\ImageUploader\Providers\ImageUploaderServiceProvider"

```

#### Get Storage Directory

[](#get-storage-directory)

- To obtain the storage directory for images, use the getDirectory($path) method.

```
$this->getDirectory($path);

```

#### Save Image File to Storage

[](#save-image-file-to-storage)

- This method is used to save an image file to your storage. It returns a string representing the path to the saved image with a .webp extension.

```
$this->saveFileToStorage($fileName, $path);

```

#### Check for Base64 String

[](#check-for-base64-string)

- To check if a string is a base64 string, use the isBase64($strEndcode) method.

```
$this->isBase64($strEndcode);

```

#### Delete Image

[](#delete-image)

- To delete an image file from storage, utilize the deleteImage($filePath) method.

```
$this->deleteImage($filePath);

```

The Public Disk
---------------

[](#the-public-disk)

- To create the symbolic link, you may use the storage:link Artisan command:

```
php artisan storage:link

```
