CakePHP Cloudinary Plugin

The CakePHP Cloudinary Plugin provides an easy-to-use wrapper for the Cloudinary PHP SDK to enable easy file uploads to your Cloudinary account in CakePHP projects.

Install the plugin using composer

Installation

composer require jovialcore/cake-cloudinary

You will also need to configure the Cloudinary credentials in the app.php file:

// config/app_local.php
// In the return block, add: 

    // ...
    'Cloudinary' => [
        'default' => [
            'cloud_name' => 'your_cloud_name',
            'api_key' => 'your_api_key',
            'api_secret' => 'your_api_secret',
            'secure' => true // use HTTPS
        ],
    ],
    // ...
];

Usage

To use the Cloudinary component in your controller, you need to load it in your initialize method:

// src/Controller/YourController.php

namespace App\Controller;

use Cake\Controller\Controller;
use Cake\Event\EventInterface;

class YourController extends Controller
{
    public function initialize(): void
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->loadComponent('CakeCloudinary.Cloudinary');
    }

    // ...
}

Uploading an asset

The $file parameter can be a file path, a File object or a $this->request->getUploadedFiles() | $this->request->getUploadedFile(); object.

Quickily upload an asset and return a secure url

$this->Cloudinary->upload($file, ['getUrl' => 'true']);

Quickily upload a video asset and return a secure url

$this->Cloudinary->uploadVideo($file, ['getUrl' => 'true']);

Quickily upload any file (e.g, pdf, csv, etc) asset and return a secure url

$this->Cloudinary->uploadFile($file, ['getUrl' => 'true']);

The assets method can also take an array of options as second argument. The options array can include any of the options supported by the Cloudinary API. See the Cloudinary PHP Image Upload API documentation for a list of available options. Example:

$this->Cloudinary->upload($file,[
    'folder' => 'my_cloudinary_folder',
      'public_id' => 'my_video_name',
]);

The asset method/apis also returns a response object that contains the uploaded image's metadata, including its URL and public ID. You can retrieve the URL of the uploaded image using the getUrl or getSecureUrl methods of the Cloudinary component:

$url = $this->Cloudinary->getUrl(); // get url of uploaded file (http)

$secureUrl = $this->Cloudinary->getSecureUrl(); //  get secureUrl of the uploaded asst

$publicId = $this->Cloudinary->getPublicId(); // get public Id of the uploaded asset

$originalFIleName = $this->Cloudinary->getOriginalFileName(); // get the asset name before it was uploaded to cloudinary

$resourceType = $this->Cloudinary->getUploadedAt(); // get the time the asset as uploaded

$extension = $this->Cloudinary->getExtension(); // get file extension of the uploaded asset e.g jpg, .pdf, .png, etc

$fileType = $this->Cloudinary->getFileType(); // get asset type. E.g, image, video, etc. 

$fileSize = $this->Cloudinary->getFileSize(); //get uploaded asset file's size by defaults, it returns a human readable file size like 20MB, 20kb, etc

// If you prefer to get just the raw bytes, 
$fileizeInBytes = this->Cloudinary->getFileSize(['human_readable' => false]);


$height = $this->Cloudinary->getHeight(); // get asset height

$width = $this->Cloudinary->getWidth(); // get asset width

Delete assets

$res = $this->Cloudinary->delete($publidId);

Fetching remote assets

// get url from an asset

$url = $this->Cloudinary->fetchUrl($publicId);
