Questions

Is this package an alternative to Laravel FileSystem and do they work together?

No, the package was introduced in Laravel 4 and it's main purpose is to manage your CDN assets by loading them from the CDN into your Views pages, and easily switch between your Local and CDN version of the files. As well it allows you to upload all your assets with single command after specifying the assets directory and rules. The FileSystem was introduced in Laravel 5 and it's designed to facilitate the loading/uploading of files form/to a CDN. It can be used the same way as this Package for loading assets from the CDN, but it's harder to upload your assets to the CDN since it expect you to upload your files one by one. As a result this package still not a replacement of the Laravel FileSystem and they can be used together.

Installation

Via Composer

Require breachaware/laravel-cdn in your project:

composer require breachaware/laravel-cdn

'providers' => array(
    //...
    BreachAware\LaravelCdn\CdnServiceProvider::class,
),

'aliases' => [
    //...
    'CDN' => BreachAware\LaravelCdn\Facades\CdnFacade::class,
],

If you are using Laravel 5.5 or higher, there is no need to register the service provider or alias as this package is automatically discovered.

Publish the package config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider "BreachAware\LaravelCdn\CdnServiceProvider"

Environment Configuration

This package can be configured by editing the config/cdn.php file. Alternatively, you can set many of these options in as environment variables in your '.env' file.

AWS Credentials

Set your AWS Credentials and other settings in the .env file.

Note: you should always have an .env file at the project root, to hold your sensitive information. This file should usually not be committed to your VCS.

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=

CDN URL

Set the CDN URL:

'url' => env('CDN_Url', 'https://s3.amazonaws.com'),

This can altered in your '.env' file as follows:

CDN_Url=

Bypass

To load your LOCAL assets for testing or during development, set the bypass option to true:

'bypass' => env('CDN_Bypass', false),

This can be altered in your '.env' file as follows:

CDN_Bypass=

Cloudfront Support

'cloudfront'    => [
    'use' => env('CDN_UseCloudFront', false),
    'cdn_url' => env('CDN_CloudFrontUrl', false)
],

This can be altered in your '.env' file as follows:

CDN_UseCloudFront=
CDN_CloudFrontUrl=

Default CDN Provider

For now, the only CDN provider available is AwsS3. Although, as DO natively support the AWS API, you can utilise it by also providing the endpoint, please see the cdn.php config for more info. This option cannot be set in '.env'.

'default' => 'AwsS3',

CDN Provider Configuration

'aws' => [

    's3' => [

        'version'   => 'latest',
        'region'    => '',
        'endpoint'  => '', // For DO Spaces

        'buckets' => [
            'my-backup-bucket' => '*',
        ]
    ]
],

Multiple Buckets

'buckets' => [

    'my-default-bucket' => '*',

    // 'js-bucket' => ['public/js'],
    // 'css-bucket' => ['public/css'],
    // ...
]

Usage

You can 'push' your assets to your CDN and you can 'empty' your assets as well using the commands below.

Push

Only changed assets are pushed to the CDN. (THanks, )

Upload assets to CDN

php artisan cdn:push

You can specify a folder upload prefix in the cdn.php config file. Your assets will be uploaded into that folder on S3.

Empty

Delete assets from CDN

php artisan cdn:empty

CAUTION: This will erase your entire bucket. This may not be what you want if you are specifying an upload folder when you push your assets.

Retrieving Asset URLs

There are two primary options when retrieving the CDN URL of a static asset:

Unversioned assets

Use the CDN facade to call the CDN::asset() function.

Note: the asset works the same as the Laravel asset it start looking for assets in the public/ directory:

{{ CDN::asset('css/app.css') }}     // example result: https://cdn.yourdomain.com/css/app.css
{{ CDN::asset('js/app.js') }}       // example result: https://cdn.yourdomain.com/js/app.js

Versioned assets using Laravel Mix

Use the CDN facade to call the CDN::mix() method.

Note: the mix method works by parsing the mix-manifest.json file that is generated by webpack, the same as Laravel Mix.

{{ CDN::mix('css/app.css') }}     // example result: https://cdn.yourdomain.com/css/app.css?id=2f7c00b6f09552c3f0ce
{{ CDN::mix('js/app.js') }}       // example result: https://cdn.yourdomain.com/js/app.js?id=dbd07402af699be7a212

To use a file from outside the public/ directory, anywhere in app/ use the CDN::path() function:

{{CDN::path('private/something/file.txt')}}        // example result: https://css-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/private/something/file.txt

Test

To run the tests, run the following command from the project folder.

$ ./vendor/bin/phpunit
