README

A Laravel companion package to work with thesold/vue-media-manager to provide a ready-made Media Manager interface with back-end.

Installation

Drivers

Default (File) driver

The default driver uses the Intervention Image library to perform basic resizing and cropping. You can customise the image and upload folders.

LARAVELMEDIAMANAGER_DRIVER=default
LARAVELMEDIAMANAGER_FOLDER=media # The folder inside the public path where resized images are stored
LARAVELMEDIAMANAGER_UPLOAD_FOLDER=mediamanager # The upload folder within the storage directory where original images (uploads) are stored. These are not publicly accessible

Cloudinary driver

Cloudinary is a cloud based media library offering excellent image optimisation and resizing including facial recognition and focal point cropping. A free cloudinary account is required to use this driver.
