Download the PHP package runthis/laravel-media without Composer

Laravel Media

A tiny laravel package to conveniently handle single file media uploads with little configuration.

Installation

composer require runthis/laravel-media

Usage

Add to the file you want to process uploads in, such as a controller.

use Runthis\Media\Facades\Media;
use Runthis\Media\Requests\MediaRequest;

Include the MediaRequest class in the function parameter and execute the create method on the Media facade.

Example:

public function upload(MediaRequest $request) {
    $test = Media::create($request);
    dd($test);
}

Inside the dd() you can see the complete object details and process these as you see fit (such as keeping track of these uploads in a database if you like).

Within the object results is a size key. You can simply echo this out to get the bytes, or you can add ->pretty() to get a prettier output. You can also pass a string parameter to the pretty() method.

Options:

l: lowercase suffix (12.45 mb instead of 12.45 MB)
s: spacing omitted (12.45MB instead of 12.45 MB)
b: Ending "B" removed (12.45 M instead of 12.45 MB)

Examples:

$test->size->pretty('sb'); // 12.45M
$test->size->pretty('ls'); // 12.45m
$test->size->pretty('l'); // 12.45 mb
$test->size->pretty('bl'); // 12.45 m

The Media::create method expects a file with the key named file.

Publish Config

If you want, run the below command to add a media.php file to your config folder.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="media-config"

From the media config file you can change the storage disk name and the rules for the media (such as file types, size limit, etc).
