Cloudinary Integration - FAL Driver
===================================

[](#cloudinary-integration---fal-driver)

A TYPO3 extension that connect TYPO3 with [Cloudinary](cloudinary.com) services by the means of a **Cloudinary Driver for FAL**. The extension also provides various View Helpers to render images on the Frontend. Cloudinary is a service provider dealing with images and videos. It offers various services among other:

- CDN for fast images and videos delivering
- Manipulation of images and videos such as cropping, resizing and much more...
- DAM functionalities where images can be tagged and metadata edited

Compatibility and Maintenance
-----------------------------

[](#compatibility-and-maintenance)

This package is currently maintained for the following versions:

TYPO3 VersionPackage VersionBranchMaintainedTYPO3 11.5.x4.xmasterYesTYPO3 11.5.x3.x-NoTYPO3 11.5.x0.x-NoInstallation
============

[](#installation)

The extension should be done by Composer

```
composer require visol/cloudinary

```

Note that the extension will require the library `cloudinary/cloudinary_php` and be automatically downloaded into `vendor`.

Configuration
=============

[](#configuration)

If it is not already the case, create an account on [Cloudinary](https://cloudinary.com/users/register/free) at first. Once the extension is installed, we should create a [file storage](https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/reference-coreapi/master/en-us/ApiOverview/Fal/Administration/Storages.html).

For a new "file storage" record, then:

- Pick the **Cloudinary** driver in the driver dropdown menu.
- Fill in the requested fields. Password and secrets can be found from the [Cloudinary Console](https://cloudinary.com/console).

[![](Documentation/driver-configuration-02.png)](Documentation/driver-configuration-02.png)

Once the record is saved, you should see a message telling the connection could be successfully established. You can now head to the File module list. Notice the first time you click on a folder in the File list module, it will take some time since the images must be fetched and put into the cloudinary cache.

Notice you can also use environment variable to configure the storage. The environment variable should be surrounded by %. Example `%env(BUCKET_NAME%)`

[![](Documentation/driver-configuration-01.png)](Documentation/driver-configuration-01.png)

Logging
-------

[](#logging)

For the debug purposes Cloudinary API calls are logged to better track and understand how and when the API is called. It might be useful to check the log file in case of a low response time in the BE.

```
tail -f public/typo3temp/var/logs/cloudinary.log

```

To decide: we now have log level INFO. We might consider "increasing" the level to "DEBUG".

Caveats and trouble shooting
----------------------------

[](#caveats-and-trouble-shooting)

- **Free** Cloudinary account allows 500 API request per day
- This cloudinary FAL driver is currently **limited to images**.

ViewHelpers
-----------

[](#viewhelpers)

The extension provides ViewHelpers that can be used like that:

1. Output an images and its source-set.

```

```

This will produces the following output:

```

```

2. Generate an array of variants that can be iterated.

```

        {responsiveImageData}

```

CLI Command
-----------

[](#cli-command)

Move bunch of images from a local storage to a cloudinary storage.

**CAUTIOUS!**

1. Moving means: we are "manually" uploading a file (skipping FAL API) to the Cloudinary storage and deleting the one from the local storage (rm -f FILE) Finally we are changing the `sys_file.storage value` to the cloudinary storage. The file uid will be kept!

```
./vendor/bin/typo3 cloudinary:move 1 2
# param 1: the source storage uid (local)
# param 2: the target storage uid (cloudinary)

# Will all parameters
./vendor/bin/typo3 cloudinary:move 1 2 --base-url=https://domain.tld/fileadmin --folder-filter=folderFilter

# --base-url: the base URL where to download files (the file will be downloaded directly from the remote)
# --filter: a possible filter, ex. %.youtube, /foo/bar/%
# --filter-file-type: add a possible filter for file type as defined by FAL (e.g 1,2,3,4,5)
# --limit: add a possible offset, limit to restrain the number of files. (eg. 0,100)
# --yes: do not ask question. Just do it!
# --silent: be quiet!
```

After "moving" files you should fix the jpeg extension for the Cloudinary storage by running the command below. It is worth mentioning that Cloudinary stripped the file extension for images. For instance a file `image.jpg` or `image.jpeg` uploaded on Cloudinary will be stored as `image`without the file extension. By inspecting the file, we will see that Cloudinary only consider the "jpg" extension. Consequently `image.jpeg` will be served as `image.jpg`. This has an implication for us. Record from table `sys_file` must be adjusted and occurrences `jpeg` in file identifier or file name must be changed to `jpg` for consistency.

```
./vendor/bin/typo3 cloudinary:fix 2
# where "2" is the target storage uid (cloudinary)
```

Tip: to sync / upload a bunch of files, you can use the Cloudinary CLI which is convenient to upload many resources at once.

```
cld sync --push localFolder remoteFolder
```

The extension provides also a tool to copy a bunch of files (restricted to images) from one storage to an another. This can be achieved with this command:

```
./vendor/bin/typo3 cloudinary:copy 1 2
# where 1 is the source storage (local)
# and 2 is the target storage (cloudinary)

# Ouptut:
Copying 64 files from storage "fileadmin/ (auto-created)" (1) to "Cloudinary Storage (fabidule)" (2)
Copying /introduction/images/typo3-book-backend-login.png
Copying /introduction/images/content/content-quote.png
...
Number of file copied: 64
```

For your information a set of acceptance tests has been implemented to validate the functionnalities of the driver.

```
./vendor/bin/typo3 cloudinary:tests fabidule:1234:ABCD
```

Development tools
-----------------

[](#development-tools)

Type command `make` at the source of the extension to display utility commands related to code formatting.

```
Usage:
 make [target]

Available targets:
 help:            Help
 lint:           Display formatting issues in detail
 lint-summary:   Display a summary of formatting issues
 lint-fix:       Automatically fix code formatting issues

```

Web Hook
--------

[](#web-hook)

Whenever uploading or editing a file through the Cloudinary Manager you can configure an URL as a web hook to be called to invalidate the cache in TYPO3. This is highly recommended to keep the data consistent between Cloudinary and TYPO3.

```
https://domain.tld/?type=1573555440
```

**Beware**: Do not rename, move or delete files in the Cloudinary Media Library. TYPO3 will not know about the change. We may need to implement a web hook. For now, it is necessary to perform these action in the File module in the Backend.
