Laravel Media Uploader

 The Laravel Media Uploader package by Ahmed Fathy uploads files using Spatie’s media library package before saving a model. You can then attach uploaded media to the model in a controller:

class BlogController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $blog = Blog::create($request->all());

        $blog->addAllMediaFromTokens();

        return back();
    }
}

According to the readme, media processing happens in the following ways:

• All videos will be converted to mp4.
• All audios will be converted to mp3.
• All images width & height & ratio will be saved as custom property.
• All videos & audios duration will be saved as a custom property.

You can also attach media more specifically:

// specified collection name
$blog->addAllMediaFromTokens([], 'pictures');

// specified tokens
$blog->addAllMediaFromTokens($request->input('tokens', []), 'pictures');

On the frontend, this package is stitched together with a companion Vue component (laravel-file-uploader):

Check out the component usage doc for details on the frontend component; a basic example might look like the following:

<file-uploader
        :max="1"
        collection="avatars"
        :tokens="{{ json_encode(old('media', [])) }}"
        label="Upload Avatar"
        notes="Supported types: jpeg, png, jpg, gif"
        accept="image/jpeg,image/png,image/jpg,image/gif"
></file-uploader>

The package also includes some REST API endpoints to access uploaded files, display recently uploaded files, and show deleted media files.
