README

This Laravel Nova package provides frontend UI and field with some useful options over forked and modified for our usage library spatie\laravel-medialibrary. Documentation how to use base media library could be found here.

Installation

composer require apimediaru/nova-media-library

Usage

Step 1: register model collections and conversions

use APIMedia\NovaMediaLibrary\Http\Services\MediaLibraryService;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia;
use Spatie\Image\Manipulations;


class ExampleModel extends Model implements HasMedia
{
    use InteractsWithMedia;
    
    /**
     * Register media collections
     */
    public function registerMediaCollections(): void
    {
        $this->addMediaCollection('gallery');
    }

    /**
     * Register media conversions
     * 
     * @throws \Spatie\Image\Exceptions\InvalidManipulation
     */
    public function registerMediaConversions(Media $media = null): void
    {
        // Adds 'thumbnail' conversions attached to all collections
        MediaLibraryService::addLibraryConversions($this);

        $this->addMediaConversion('thumb')
            ->fit(Manipulations::FIT_CROP, 150, 150)
            ->performOnCollections('gallery');

        $this->addMediaConversion('medium')
            ->fit(Manipulations::FIT_MAX, 720, 720)
            ->performOnCollections('gallery');

        $this->addMediaConversion('large')
            ->fit(Manipulations::FIT_MAX, 1920, 1920)
            ->performOnCollections('gallery');
    }
}

Step 2: add nova field. Collection key resolves as nova default field attribute, so you can omit the second argument for make method.

use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;


class ExampleResource extends Resource {
    /**
     * Get the fields displayed by the resource.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ... 
            MediaField::make(__('gallery'), 'gallery'),
        ];
    }
}

Limit media files count

public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ... 
            MediaField::make(__('gallery'), 'gallery')
                ->limit(10),
        ];
    }

Disable / enable checking duplicates for certain collection

public function fields(Request $request)
    {
        return [
            // ... 
            MediaField::make(__('gallery'), 'gallery')
                ->checkDuplicates(false),
        ];
    }
