Simple Photo Wrapper for Laravel 4. Simple photo is a library that simplifies handling of photos in your application.
##Installation
Add morrelinko/laravel-simple-photo to your composer.json dependencies:
{
"require": {
"morrelinko/laravel-simple-photo": "dev-master"
}
}Afterwards, run composer update to update your dependencies or composer install to install them.
Add an entry for the service provider by editing app/config/app.php config file.
'providers' => array(
// ...
'Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\SimplePhotoServiceProvider',
);Add an entry in your 'aliases' for the SimplePhoto facade
'aliases' => array(
// ...
'SimplePhoto' => 'Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\SimplePhotoFacade'
);Run php artisan config:publish morrelinko/laravel-simple-photo to copy the default config file.
Copy the migration from `vendor/morrelinko/laravel-simple-photo/src/migrations to your migrations directory.
And run php artisan migrate to run the migration that will create the 'photos' table.
// ...
$source = new LaravelUploadSource($request->file('photo'));
$photoId = SimplePhoto::upload($source);
$user->photo_id = $photoId;
$user->save();And to retrieve the photo later
$user = User::find(1);
$photo = SimplePhoto::get($user->photo_id);
echo $photo->url();
echo $photo->fileSize();
echo $photo->fileExtension();If you are using php 5.4+, you should use the SimplePhotoTrait. 'Makes things easy!!' (o_o ).
Example:::
use Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\SimplePhotoTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $photos = array(
'photo' => array('column' => 'photo_id')
);
use SimplePhotoTrait;
public function photo()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\Photo', 'photo_id', 'id');
}
}Of course, what this will do is that it will add a 'photo' property to this model. And whenever you try to get
this property, it will retrieve the photo just the same way as the above example shows.
The value is a set of options which the trait uses to build the photo of which the 'column' is the most important
as it is the field which contains the ID of the photo you wish to retrieve.
$user = User::find(1);
echo $user->photo->url();
echo $user->photo->fileSize();
echo $user->photo->fileExtension();
// .....If your entity has more than one photo, you can specify all of em like so:::
use Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\SimplePhotoTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $photos = array(
'photo' => array('column' => 'photo_id'),
'coverPhoto' => array('column' => 'cover_photo_id'),
'profileBg' => array('column' => 'profile_bg_id')
);
use SimplePhotoTrait;
public function photo()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\Photo', 'photo_id', 'id');
}
public function coverPhoto()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\Photo', 'cover_photo_id', 'id');
}
public function profileBg()
{
return $this->belongsTo('Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\Photo', 'profile_bg_id', 'id');
}
}
$user = User::find(1);
echo $user->photo->url();
echo $user->coverPhoto->url();
echo $user->profileBg->url();Options such as transformations and fallback can be added.
use Morrelinko\LaravelSimplePhoto\SimplePhotoTrait;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
protected $photos = array(
'photo' => array(
'column' => 'photo_id',
'fallback' => 'user_not_found.png',
'transform' => array(
'resize' => array(100, 100)
'rotate' => array(180)
)),
'coverPhoto' => array(
'column' => 'cover_photo_id',
'fallback' => 'cover_default.png'
),
);
use SimplePhotoTrait;
}
$user = User::find(1);
echo $user->photo->url();
echo $user->coverPhoto->url();
