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

[](#installation)

Laravel Image is distributed as a composer package:

```
composer require unglud/laravel-image

```

If you want to change configs later, please publish config file first:

```
php artisan vendor:publish

```

Afterward, you can edit the file `config/lavaimage.php`.

Saving Image
------------

[](#saving-image)

Use `LavaImage::save()` to save image to `public/uploads`, this method generate unique 8 char filename and put file to [deep tree folder structure](http://serverfault.com/a/95454).

```
use Unglued\LavaImage\Facades\LavaImage;

$fileHash = LavaImage::save('http://lorempixel.com/300/300/');

// $fileHash == 203bad62
// and file stored in /public/uploads/2/0/203bad62.jpg

// now you can save hash to file in your storage
$myModel = new MyModel();
$myModel->image = $fileHash;
$myModel->save();
```

### File structure

[](#file-structure)

You can specify another folder structure, like any depth or folder name length in the config file

```
for 203bad62 it can be
/2/0/203bad62.jpg
/2/0/3/b/203bad62.jpg
/20/203bad62.jpg
/20/3b/203bad62.jpg
etc....

```

### Crop and save

[](#crop-and-save)

You can specify size as second argument for center fit cropping

```
LavaImage::save('http://lorempixel.com/300/300/', [100,100]);
```

As the first argument, you can pass any data, what [Intervention/image make method](http://image.intervention.io/api/make) support

```
// save image from file
LavaImage::save('public/foo.jpg');

// or save image from binary data
LavaImage::save(file_get_contents('public/foo.jpg'));

// save image from gd resource
LavaImage::save(imagecreatefromjpeg('public/foo.jpg'));

// save image directly from an url
LavaImage::save('http://example.com/example.jpg');

// save image directly from Laravel file upload
LavaImage::save(Input::file('photo'));
```

Any time after saving you can retrieve generated hash by `LavaImage::getImageCode()`

Getting Image
-------------

[](#getting-image)

Then you need to get an image, use hash you know

```
$hash = '203bad62'
LavaImage::getImage($hash);
// will return http://example.com/uploads/2/0/203bad62.jpg

LavaImage::getImage($hash, true);
// will return absolute path /home/var/laravel/public/uploads/2/0/203bad62.jpg
```
