PHP Luminova: Integrating Third-Party Cloud Storage Services
File Storage allows you to seamlessly integrate various storages like AWS S3, Azure Blob, into your PHP application, providing flexibility and convenience in handling file and directory operations.
The Storage class provides an interface for interacting with various storage adapters such as local file storage, FTP servers, in-memory storage, and cloud storage services like AWS S3, Azure Blob, and Google Cloud Storage. This class serves as an extension of the powerful PHP library League Filesystem, which offers convenient methods for common file and directory operations.
To get started with the Storage class, ensure that you have installed the filesystem package by running the Composer command.
composer require league/flysystem:^3.0Additionally, make sure to install the required dependencies for the chosen storage driver. You can refer to the configuration for the required drivers depending on the storage you want in the League Storage Filesystem Configuration documentation.
Examples
Base usage, write to local storage.
use Luminova\Storages\Storage;
Storage::context(Storage::LOCAL)
->write('example.txt', 'Hello, World!');To save file and generate a symbolic public URL on the go, use toLink method.
use Luminova\Storages\Storage;
echo Storage::context(Storage::LOCAL)
->write('example.txt', 'Hello, World!')
->toLink();Note: This method is only for
localstorage context, for other cloud storage useurlmethod.
To change directory, create the folder and write file to it.
use Luminova\Storages\Storage;
echo Storage::context(Storage::LOCAL)
->disk('foo')
->write('example.txt', 'Hello, World!');Use the
diskmethod to change directory and create a new directory.
If you want to change directory without creating the folder use chdir method.
use Luminova\Storages\Storage;
$dir = Storage::context(Storage::LOCAL)
->chdir('foo/bar/baz')
->mkdir(null); /* Pass null since we already prepare the dir */Note: The
chdirmethod doesn't change your directory remotely, it only prepare the directory for next execution.
Upload file to server, you can optionally set file configuration using setConfig method.
$file = $request->getFile('file');
$file->setConfig([
'max_size' => 1024,
'min_size' => 500,
]);
$uploaded = Storage::context(Storage::LOCAL)->upload($file);
if($uploaded){
echo 'Upload was successful';
