Laravel Eloquent Photos

This is a Laravel Eloquent trait that provides an easy and dynamic way to manage photos in your Eloquent models.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

  composer require behzadsp/eloquent-dynamic-photos

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Behzadsp\EloquentDynamicPhotos\Providers\EloquentDynamicPhotosServiceProvider"

This is the contents of the global configurations for uploading images.

<?php

return [
    'disk' => 'public', // Disk to use for storing photos
    'root_directory' => 'images', // Root directory for photos
    'name_attribute' => 'slug', // Model attribute used for file name
    'quality' => 50, // Quality for encoding the photos
    'format' => 'webp', // Format of the stored photos
    'slug_limit' => 240, // Name limit to save in database
    'timestamp_format' => 'U', // U represents Unix timestamp
];

Usage

After installing the package, simply use the HasPhotos trait in your Eloquent models:

use Behzadsp\EloquentDynamicPhotos\Traits\HasPhotos;

class YourModel extends Model
{
    use HasPhotos;

    // ...
}

Of course, you can override certain config in individual model by declaring the corresponding method. Like below:

class User extends Model
{
    use HasPhotos;

    protected function eloquentPhotoDisk()
    {
        return 'user-avatar';
    }

    protected function eloquentPhotoFormat()
    {
        return 'png';
    }
    
    protected function eloquentPhotoRootDirectory()
    {
        return 'images';
    }
    
    protected function eloquentPhotoQuality()
    {
        return '50';
    }
    
    protected function eloquentPhotoNameAttribute()
    {
        return 'slug';
    }
    
    protected function eloquentPhotoSlugLimit()
    {
        return '240';
    }
    
    protected function eloquentPhotoTimestampFormat()
    {
        return 'U';
    }
}

You can now use the methods provided by the trait in your models:

$model = YourModel::first();

// delete photo file only and not database column.
$model->deletePhotoFile('photo_field');

// update photo file and save it to database column.
$model->updatePhoto($photo, 'photo_field');

// get full photo path
$model->getPhotoFullPath('photo_path');

// get photo directory path
$model->getPhotoDirectoryPath();

// get photo URL
$model->photo_field_url;
