Installation

Usage

Migrations

Your migrations need to have a Blueprint::jsonb() column set on it.

return new class extends Migration {
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     */
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();

            //...

            $table->jsonb('avatar')->nullable();
        });
    }
};

Adding Attachments to Models

To add attachments to your Eloquent models, use the provided cast classes.

Single Attachment

Use the AsAttachment cast to handle a single attachment:

use NiftyCo\Attachments\Casts\AsAttachment;

class User extends Model
{
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'avatar' => AsAttachment::class,
        ];
    }
}

To set an image as an attachment on your model:

use NiftyCo\Attachments\Attachment;

class UserController
{
    public function store(UserStoreRequest $request, User $user)
    {
        $user->avatar = Attachment::fromFile($request->file('avatar'), folder: 'avatars');

        $user->save();

        // ...
    }
}

Multiple Attachments

Use the AsAttachments cast to handle multiple attachments:

use NiftyCo\Attachments\Casts\AsAttachments;

class Post extends Model
{
    protected function casts(): array
    {
        return [
            'images' => AsAttachments::class,
        ];
    }
}

To attach multiple attachments to your model:

class PostController
{
    public function store(PostStoreRequest $request, Post $post)
    {

        $images = $request->file('images');

        // Loop over all images uploaded and add to the
        // collection of images already on the post
        array_map(function($image) use ($post) {
            $post->images->addFromFile($image);
        }, $images);

        // Save post
        $post->save();

        // ...
    }
}
