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:

 1class BlogController extends Controller
 2{
 3    public function store(Request $request)
 4    {
 5        $blog = Blog::create($request->all());
 6 
 7        $blog->addAllMediaFromTokens();
 8 
 9        return back();
10    }
11}

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:

1// specified collection name
2$blog->addAllMediaFromTokens([], 'pictures');
3 
4// specified tokens
5$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:

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

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