A filesystem abstraction library for Laravel 4

This package brings a filesystem abstraction layer to Laravel 4. This is an organic feature of Laravel 5 which uses the flysystem package under the hood. Please note that this is not a like-for-like version of the Laravel 5 package and that there may be suttle differences in configuration and method names. We're looking to make this package identical in a future major version to make the Laravel 4 -> 5 upgrade less painful.

Supported Adapters

• Local
• Rackspace (Cloud Files)
• Amazon Web Services (S3)
• Google Cloud

Installation

composer require superbalist/laravel4-storage

Register the service provider in app.php

'providers' => array(
    'Superbalist\Storage\StorageServiceProvider',
)

Register the facade in app.php

'aliases' => array(
    'Storage' => 'Superbalist\Storage\StorageFacade',
)

Create a storage.php config file.

<?php

return array(

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Default Connection
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The default file system connection to use.
    |
    | A non-default connection can also be specified by using \Storage::connection('name')->put(...)
    |
    */

    'default' => 'local',

    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Connections
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | The various connection configs.
    |
    */

    'connections' => array(
        'local' => array(
            'adapter' => 'local',
            'root_path' => storage_path(),
            'public_url_base' => '[[http://a.public.url.to.your.service/storage]]',
        ),

        'rackspace' => array(
            'adapter' => 'rackspace',
            'store' => 'cloudFiles',

            'container' => '[[insert your cdn container name]]',
        ),

        'gcloud' => array(

            'bucket' => '[[insert your bucket name]]',
        ),

Create a services.php config file.

<?php

return array(

    /*

    'google_cloud' => array(
        'service_account' => '[[your service account]',
        'key_file' => '[[path to the p12 key file]]',
        'secret' => '[[your secret]]',
        'developer_key' => '[[your developer key]]',
    ),

    /*

        'tenant_name' => '[[your tenant name]]',
        'api_key' => '[[your api key]]',
        'api_endpoint' => \OpenCloud\Rackspace::UK_IDENTITY_ENDPOINT,
    ),

Usage

Please see http://flysystem.thephpleague.com/api/ for full documentation on the core API.

All functions provided by the core API are available behind the Storage facade in Laravel.

use Storage;

// write to a file
Storage::write('path/to/file.txt', 'contents');

// update a file
Storage::update('path/to/file.txt', 'new contents');

// read a file
$contents = Storage::read('path/to/file.txt');

// check if a file exists
$exists = Storage::has('path/to/file.txt');

// delete a file
Storage::delete('path/to/file.txt');

// rename a file
Storage::rename('filename.txt', 'newname.txt');

// copy a file
Storage::copy('filename.txt', 'duplicate.txt');

// specify the storage connection to use
$contents = Storage::connection('rackspace')->listContents();

// get a public url to a file
// this is currently only supported by the local and google cloud adapters
$url = Storage::getPublicUrl('path/to/file.txt');
