Download the PHP package codebar-ag/laravel-flysystem-cloudinary without Composer

💡 What is Cloudinary?

Cloudinary is basically a fantastic way to store and serve assets like images or videos. You can upload your full resolution image to Cloudinary, and they handle the optimization for you. The only thing you have to do is to add additional parameters to your url 😉

🛠 Requirements

• Cloudinary Account

⚙️ Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Add the following disk to your filesystem "disks" list in your filesystems.php configuration:

Add the following environment variables to your .env file:

🏗 File extension problem

Let's look at the following example:

This will generate following URL with double extensions:

To prevent this you should store your images without the file extension:

This is now much better:

🪐 How to use with Nova

We have a package for use with Laravel Nova: Laravel Flysystem Cloudinary Nova

🗂 How to use folder prefix

Imagine the following example. We have different clients but want to store the assets in the same Cloudinary account. Normally we have to prefix every path with the correct client folder name. Fortunately, the package helps us here. We can configure a folder in our environment file like this:

Now all our assets will be prefixed with the client_cat/ folder. When we store following image:

It will produce following URL:

In the Media Library it is stored in client_cat/meow and you can retrieve the image with meow:

This should increase the trust to store and retrieve your assets from the correct folder.

🔋 Rate limit gotchas

All files in Cloudinary are stored with a resource type. There are three kinds of it: image, raw and video. For example if we want to check if a video exists, we need to make up to 3 requests. Every type needs to be checked on their own with a separate request.

Keep this in mind because the admin API is rate limited to 500 calls per hour.

The package does check in following sequence:

• image ➡️ raw ➡️ video

⚙️ Optional Parameters

Cloudinary has a lot of optional parameters to customize the upload. You can find all options in the official documentation optional parameters section.

You can pass all parameters as an array to the put method:

Note: if you find yourself using the same parameters for all requests, you should consider adding them to the config file. (see below)

🔧 Configuration file
