Configuration

1. Configure Filesystem

Only required if you plan to manage your assets via the provided commands: asset-cdn:push, asset-cdn:sync, asset-cdn:empty

arubacao/asset-cdn utilizes Laravel's Filesystem to push, sync, delete assets to/from the CDN of your choice. Therefore, you have to configure and define a filesystem specific for CDN purposes. Please follow the official documentation.

If you plan to use AWS S3/Cloudfront you can use this configuration:

2. Publish Config File

3. Edit cdn_url and filesystem.disk

4. Edit files in config/asset-cdn.php

Only required if you plan to manage your assets via the provided commands: asset-cdn:push, asset-cdn:sync, asset-cdn:empty

files always assumes a relative path from the public directoy

• ignoreDotFiles
  Excludes "hidden" directories and files (starting with a dot).

• ignoreVCS
  Ignore version control directories.

• include
  Any file that matches at least one include rule, will be included. No file is included by default.

  • paths
    Define paths that should be available on the CDN.
    The following example will match any file in any js or css path it can find in the public directory.

  • files
    Define files that should be available on the CDN.
    The following example will match any file that starts with js/back.app.js in the public directory.

    • extensions
      Define filetypes that should be available on the CDN.
      The following example will match any file of type *.css or *.js in the public directory.

    • patterns
      Define patterns for files that should be available on the CDN.
      The following example will match any file that starts with letters a or b in the public directory.
• exclude
  Any file that matches at least one exclude rule, will be excluded. Files that are excluded will never be included, even if they have been explicitly included. Rules are identical as described above.

5. Set Additional Configurations for Uploaded Files

filesystem.options are passed directly to the Filesystem which eventually calls the underlying Storage driver e.g. S3.
Please refer to the corresponding storage driver documentation for available configuration options.
The following example is recommended for AWS S3.
