Utilize the Provided Methods

Get Image Disk

• The getImageDisk() method retrieves the name of the image storage disk. By default, it reads the FILESYSTEM_DISK environment variable. You can specify a different disk by setting the FILESYSTEM_DISK variable in your environment configuration.

$this->getImageDisk();

• Make sure that your .env file and config filesystems.default has the FILESYSTEM_DISK variable, for example:

FILESYSTEM_DISK=local

'default' => env('FILESYSTEM_DISK', 'local'),

• To use the database for storing configuration, you need to run a migration with the following command:

php artisan migrate

• The above command will create a "settings" table with the following structure:

Schema::create('settings', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->id();
    $table->string('key')->unique();
    $table->text('value');
    $table->timestamps();
});

• We have provided sample data for you to test. You can seed the sample data with the following command.

php artisan db:seed --class=Stew\\ImageUploader\\Database\\Seeders\\SettingSeeder

• To use configuration from the "settings" table (by default), you can use the following function:

$this->getImageDisk('YOUR TABLE') // Default is "settings"

• If you want to customize the seeded data, you can use the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Stew\ImageUploader\Providers\ImageUploaderServiceProvider"

Get Storage Directory

• To obtain the storage directory for images, use the getDirectory($path) method.

$this->getDirectory($path);

Save Image File to Storage

• This method is used to save an image file to your storage. It returns a string representing the path to the saved image with a .webp extension.

$this->saveFileToStorage($fileName, $path);

Check for Base64 String

• To check if a string is a base64 string, use the isBase64($strEndcode) method.

$this->isBase64($strEndcode);

Delete Image

• To delete an image file from storage, utilize the deleteImage($filePath) method.

$this->deleteImage($filePath);

The Public Disk

• To create the symbolic link, you may use the storage:link Artisan command:

php artisan storage:link
