After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Laravel-Youtube

A Laravel package to upload videos to a YouTube channel and get a list of uploaded videos

It is intended for use in a website where users can upload a video file which is then uploaded to a single Youtube account, probably owned by the website owner, or to an individuals YouTube account. The account can be public or unlisted and this essentially allows you to use Youtube as a video transcoding, hosting, serving and playback service provider.

In addition to the upload and lsit functionality you can use in your own app, the package also includes the functionality to get and store an access token, so that users can upload their videos to your account without you having to authorise them each time. Google's access tokens are short lived, they only last 1 hour, but by default your app will get offline access which means as well as an access_token, you also get a refresh_token that can be used to renew the access token. The package handles storing the access_token and refresh_token in a database table (migration included) and will also handle automatically getting a new access_token, using the refresh_token, when an access_token expires.

Also included is sample code for a form and a simple route closure callback that validates the form and uploads the video to Youtube.

All the sample routes do not get included when in production. They only work on local, staging etc. Your production code should only ever call the methods in the Usage section below.

Installation

Add the following to you composer.json file

"fbf/laravel-youtube": "dev-master"

Run

composer update

Add the following to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Fbf\LaravelYoutube\LaravelYoutubeServiceProvider'

Add the following to the aliases array in app/config/app.php

'Youtube'         => 'Fbf\LaravelYoutube\YoutubeFacade',

Publish the config

php artisan config:publish fbf/laravel-youtube

Run the migration

php artisan migrate --package=fbf/laravel-youtube

Usage

After getting an access token (see section on Authentication below), to upload a video, simply do:

where $data is in the format of Input::all() when submitting a form like the one in src/views/example.blade.php, or as follows:

See the example in Route::post('youtube-upload-example', function() {...}) in the src/routes.php file.

Authentication

The config file contains several settings. To get the values for these settings, you need to register your app with the Google Developers Console.

Create a project, give it a name and an ID, but to be honest, it doesn't really matter what these are as no one else will ever see them.

In the APIs screen for your new project, ensure YouTube Data API v3 is on.

In the credentials screen, create a new client ID. Application type should be Web Application, Authorized Javascript origins aren't used, so leave as is, Authorized redirect URI should be your redirect uri. The package includes a route you can use as the redirect URI, which is "youtube-upload-example/oauth2-callback", so the value you should use here is the absolute URL, including the domain, e.g. "http://mydomain.com/youtube-upload-example/oauth2-callback". A hostname including localhost doesn't work, however you can still do all this on your local development machine, you just need to alias a real domain in your VirtualHost config and add it to your hosts file.

Now copy the client ID and client secret into the app/config/packages/fbf/laravel-youtube/config.php file.

If you are going to allow all uploads to go into a single channel, before the next step, ensure that the Google Account you sign in with already has a YouTube Channel. If you have created a new Google Account just for your project, you don't get a YouTube channel automatically, this is an extra step. When you are on www.youtube.com and you go to try and upload a video manually, it will prompt you to create a channel. This gives you another Google account confusingly. Finally, visit "http://mydomain.com/youtube-upload-example" in your browser, you should be redirected to "http://mydomain.com/youtube-upload-example/get-access-token". Click "Connect Me" and then approve the app. You should then be redirected back to http://mydomain.com/youtube-upload-example/oauth2-callback" which should display your access token and say that it has been added to the database. Now you should be able to upload a video, try the example.

If you are going to allow different users to upload to their own channels set the laravel-youtube::auth config setting to true and then create some actions and views in your app that use the functionality from the sample routes and example view provided, to allow your users to authenticate for you.
