Introduction

The Laravel Media Gallery simplifies media and media file management in your Laravel project. This README provides installation instructions, usage examples, and additional information.

Installation

To get started, install the package using Composer:

Publish Migration and Config

For media library features, follow these steps:

Publish Migration, Config

Publish the migration, factory and seeder file:

Publish the Config file:

Run Migration

Apply the migrations to set up the media storage table:

Uses

To use media storage in any model (e.g., User Blog, Product), add the HasMedia trait:

Eloquent Factories Relation Mapping

For setting up seed data with relation mapping (e.g., User has Blog, Blog uses HasMedia Trait), use the following code in a seeder:

Retrieve media by owner

To retrieve media by the user, use the HasMedia trait on the User/Team/Admin or any other model authorized to upload media:

Absolutely, here's the updated text with subheadings for each section:

Authentication and Configuration

Customizing Authentication Guard:

You can customize the authentication guard for the routes by publishing the config file and changing the 'guard' key to your desired authentication guard.

Alternatively, you can use the API middleware.

Restricting Media Viewing:

Set view_all_media_anyone to false to restrict media viewing to user-uploaded images only; default is true, allowing all media viewing.

Defining Gate for Managing Media:

Defines canManageMediaContent gate in AuthServiceProvider.php allowing designated users to manage media content.

Cache Expiry Time:

Set Cache Expiry time. Default value is 1440.

Use Media with Relational Model

For storing media for a relational model (e.g., Blog), use the following methods:

• Attach: $blog->media()->attach(array $id)
• Sync: $blog->media()->sync(array $id)
• Delete: $blog->media()->detach(array $id)

Working with Single or Featured Media

To work with a single or featured media, use the featuredMedia method and set isFeatured to true in the second parameter:

• Attach: $blog->featuredMedia()->attach(array $id, ['is_featured' => 1])

Note: Sync and detach are the same; use featuredMedia instead of featuredMedia.

Helper Methods

You can also use helper methods for media management:

• For Attach: $blog->attachMedia(array $ids, $isFeatured = false)

• For Sync: $blog->syncMedia(array $ids, $isFeatured = false)
• For Delete: $blog->detachMedia(array $ids, $isFeatured = false)

API Route for Media/Media

To manage your media storage, you can use the following routes:

• Get all media: api/media (GET)
• Get a single media: api/media/{id} (GET)
• Store an media: api/media (POST)
• Delete an media: api/media/{id} (DELETE)
• Update an media: api/media/update/{id} (POST)
• Batch Delete: media/batch-delete (POST)

Fetch Media/Media from Relational Model

To retrieve media/media from a relational model:

• Fetch all media as an array: $blog->media

• Fetch the featured media only: $blog->media

You can access media properties like URL, title, mimes, size, and type:

• $media->url
• $media->title
• $media->mimes
• $media->size
• $media->type
