Associate files with your Laravel Models

This package allows you to store files for models in an opinionated way.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require esign/laravel-model-files

Usage

Preparing your model

To associate files with your model you need to use the Esign\ModelFiles\Concerns\HasFiles trait on the model.

use Esign\ModelFiles\Concerns\HasFiles;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Post extends Model
{
    use HasFiles;
}

The database structure should look like the following:

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->boolean('file')->default(0);
    $table->string('file_filename')->nullable();
    $table->string('file_mime')->nullable();
});

Storing files

To store files you may use the storeFile method. This method accepts instances of both the Illuminate\Http\File and Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile classes.

$post->storeFile('file', $request->file('attachment'));

Retrieving file info

$post->hasFile('file'); // returns true/false
$post->getFolderPath('file'); // returns posts/file
$post->getFilePath('file'); // returns posts/file/1.pdf
$post->getFileMime('file'); // returns application/pdf
$post->getFileExtension('file'); // returns pdf
$post->getFileUrl('file'); // returns https://www.example.com/storage/posts/file/1.pdf
$post->getVersionedFileUrl('file'); // returns https://www.example.com/storage/posts/file/1.pdf?t=1675776047

Deleting files

$post->deleteFile('file');

Using with underscore translatable

This package ships with support for the underscore translatable package.

Make sure to include the file, filename and mime columns within the translatable array:

use Esign\ModelFiles\Concerns\HasFiles;
use Esign\UnderscoreTranslatable\UnderscoreTranslatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class UnderscoreTranslatablePost extends Model
{
    use HasFiles;
    use UnderscoreTranslatable;

    public $translatable = [
        'document',
        'document_filename',
        'document_mime',
    ];
}

Next up, your migrations should look like the following:

Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->boolean('document_en')->default(0);
    $table->boolean('document_nl')->default(0);
    $table->string('document_filename_en')->nullable();
    $table->string('document_filename_nl')->nullable();
    $table->string('document_mime_en')->nullable();
    $table->string('document_mime_nl')->nullable();
});

You may now use the internal methods using the default or the specific locale:

$post->hasFile('document'); // returns true/false
$post->getFolderPath('document'); // returns posts/document_en
$post->getFilePath('document'); // returns posts/document_en/1.pdf
$post->getFileMime('document'); // returns application/pdf
$post->getFileExtension('document'); // returns pdf
$post->getFileUrl('document'); // returns https://www.example.com/storage/posts/document_en/1.pdf
$post->getVersionedFileUrl('document'); // returns https://www.example.com/storage/posts/document_en/1.pdf?t=1675776047

$post->hasFile('document_en'); // returns true/false
$post->getFolderPath('document_en'); // returns posts/document_en
$post->getFilePath('document_en'); // returns posts/document_en/1.pdf
$post->getFileMime('document_en'); // returns application/pdf
$post->getFileExtension('document_en'); // returns pdf
$post->getFileUrl('document_en'); // returns https://www.example.com/storage/posts/document_en/1.pdf
$post->getVersionedFileUrl('document_en'); // returns https://www.example.com/storage/posts/document_en/1.pdf?t=1675776047
