For use with Laravel 4.1.x

For use with Laravel 4.2.x

Run the Composer update command

In your config/app.php add 'Andrew13\Cabinet\CabinetServiceProvider' to the end of the $providers array

At the end of config/app.php add 'Cabinet' => 'Andrew13\Cabinet\CabinetFacade' to the $aliases array

Upload model

Now generate the Cabinet migration:

It will generate the <timestamp>_cabinet_setup_uploads_table.php migration. You may now run it with the artisan migrate command:

It will setup a table containing filename, directory_path, extension, user_id and deleted_at fields, which are the default fields needed for Cabinet use.

Create an upload model in app/models/Upload.php:

CabinetUpload class will take care of all the default upload behavior. This can be extended in your Upload model.

Dump the default assessors

Least, you can dump a default controller and the default routes for Cabinet.

Don't forget to dump composer autoload

Publish public assets

In order to use the js/css/images you'll need to publish the assets.

And you are ready to go. Access http://localhost/upload to upload a file. It is highly suggested to put some auth protection on the uploads.

Advanced

Using custom table / model name

To change the controller name when dumping the default controller template you can use the --name option.

Will result in UploaderController

Then, when dumping the routes, you should use the --controller option to match the existing controller.

Using custom form for upload and other configuration options.

First, publish the config files:

Then edit the view names in app/config/packages/andrewelkins/confide/config.php.

Further, you can change the location of the uploads, type of upload files, and many more options!

RESTful controller

If you want to generate a RESTful controller you can use the additional --restful or -r option.

Special Thanks

Generator code uses code from the Confide package. It is then modified to fit this application. Thanks goes out to @Zizaco for that code.

Workbench tutorial by Jason Lewis was excellent in getting up and running with workbench.

Image upload tutorial from Phil Sturgeon which inspired me to create this package.
