Postcardware

You're free to use this package (it's MIT-licensed), but if it makes it to your production environment you are required to send us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require spatie/laravel-directory-cleanup

Next up, the service provider must be registered:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\DirectoryCleanupServiceProvider::class,

];

Next, you must publish the config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\DirectoryCleanupServiceProvider"

This is the content of the published config file laravel-directory-cleanup

return [

    'directories' => [
        
        /**
         * Here you can specify which directories need to be cleanup. All files older than
         * the specified amount of minutes will be deleted.
         */

        /*
        'path/to/a/directory' => [
            'deleteAllOlderThanMinutes' => 60 * 24,
            'deleteAllWithPrefix' => 'prefix-'
        ],
        */
    ],
];

Usage

Specify the directories that need cleaning in the config file.

When running the console command clean:directories all files in the specified directories older then deleteAllOlderThanMinutes will be deleted.

This command can be scheduled in Laravel's console kernel.

// app/Console/Kernel.php

protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
   $schedule->command('clean:directories')->daily();
}
