Nova File Artisan

Nova File Artisan is a package that integrates Larupload with Laravel Nova. Larupload is a file uploader for Laravel, which is based on ORM and allows users to upload images, videos, audios, and other known file formats.

With Nova File Artisan, you can use the features of both packages to create a admin panel for your Laravel project. You can upload and display various types of files (such as images, videos, audio, etc.) in your Nova resources. You can also transform your files (such as resizing, cropping, compressing, etc.) using Larupload's methods. You can also set your upload settings (such as disk, path, visibility, etc.) using Larupload's options.

Nova File Artisan is simple to install and use, and it supports multiple file systems (such as local, s3, sftp, etc.).

Installation and Usage

[!NOTE]
Ensure that you have already installed and configured the Larupload package in your Laravel application. If you haven't done so, please refer to the Larupload documentation for instructions on installation and usage. It's important to create attachments for each model before proceeding with Nova File Artisan.

Install the package via composer:

composer require mostafaznv/nova-file-artisan

Publish config file:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mostafaznv\NovaFileArtisan\NovaFileArtisanServiceProvider"

Prepare Migration & Model (for more information, see Larupload documentation)

Migration

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Enums\LaruploadMode;

return new class extends Migration
{
    public function up(): void
    {
        Schema::create('attachments', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title')->nullable();
            $table->upload('main_file', LaruploadMode::HEAVY);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    public function down(): void
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('attachments');
    }
};

Model

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use FFMpeg\Format\Video\X264;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Enums\LaruploadMediaStyle;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Enums\LaruploadMode;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Traits\Larupload;
use Mostafaznv\Larupload\Storage\Attachment as LaruploadAttachment;


class Attachment extends Model
{
    use Larupload;

    public function attachments(): array
    {
        return [
            LaruploadAttachment::make('main_file')
                ->image('thumbnail', 640, 480)
                ->image('retina', 1280, 960)
                ->video('SD', 640, 480)
                ->video('HD', 1920, 1080)
                ->stream(
                    name: '480p',
                    width: 640,
                    height: 480,
                    format: (new X264)
                        ->setKiloBitrate(1000)
                        ->setAudioKiloBitrate(32)
                )
                ->stream(
                    name: '720p',
                    width: 1280,
                    height: 720,
                    format: (new X264)
                        ->setKiloBitrate(3000)
                        ->setAudioKiloBitrate(64)
                )
        ];
    }
}

Prepare Nova Resource

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use App\Models\Attachment as Model;
use Mostafaznv\NovaFileArtisan\Fields\NovaFileArtisan;


class Attachment extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = Model::class;

    public static $title = 'title';


    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            Text::make('Title')->rules('required', 'max:255'),

            NovaFileArtisan::make('Main File', 'main_file'),
        ];
    }
}

That's it, you're ready to go!

Get Attachment Metadata

You can print extracted metadata from your files using NovaFileArtisanMeta field. This field is a read-only field, and it is only used to display metadata.

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Fields\Text;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use App\Models\Attachment as Model;
use Mostafaznv\NovaFileArtisan\Fields\NovaFileArtisan;
use Mostafaznv\NovaFileArtisan\Fields\NovaFileArtisanMeta;


class Attachment extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = Model::class;

    public static $title = 'title';


    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            Text::make('Title')->rules('required', 'max:255'),

            NovaFileArtisan::make('Main File', 'main_file'),

            // print all metadata
            ...NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->all(),
            
            // or print specific metadata
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->fileName(),
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->size(),
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->mimeType(),
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->width(),
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->height(),
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->duration(),
            NovaFileArtisanMeta::make('main_file')->format(),
        ];
    }
}

Working with Covers

Covers are automatically generated for videos and images, but you also have the option to upload custom covers for these and any other file types.

However, there may be occasions when you need to hide the cover on the details page or even remove the cover uploader from the form. You can achieve this by using the hideCoverFromDetail and hideCoverUploader methods.

Hide Cover Uploader

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use App\Models\Attachment as Model;
use Mostafaznv\NovaFileArtisan\Fields\NovaFileArtisan;


class Attachment extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = Model::class;

    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            NovaFileArtisan::make('Main File', 'main_file')
                ->hideCoverUploader(),
        ];
    }
}

Hide Cover From Detail Page

<?php

namespace App\Nova;

use Laravel\Nova\Fields\ID;
use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use App\Models\Attachment as Model;
use Mostafaznv\NovaFileArtisan\Fields\NovaFileArtisan;


class Attachment extends Resource
{
    public static string $model = Model::class;

    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            ID::make()->sortable(),

            NovaFileArtisan::make('Main File', 'main_file')
                ->hideCoverFromDetail(),

            // or you can hide cover from detail based on condition
            
            NovaFileArtisan::make('Main File', 'main_file')
                ->hideCoverFromDetail(
                    fn (NovaRequest $request) => $request->resourceId == 34
                ),
        ];
    }
}

Notes

Pruning Files

Nova's prunable method does not work with NovaFileArtisan field as expected. As you may know, in Larupload, there is an option to turn on/off preserve-files. This option is used to prevent files from being deleted when the model is deleted from the database, and it aligns with the behavior expected from the prunable method. Therefore, if you want to keep files when the model is deleted, you should set preserve-files to true. You can do this either in your Larupload configuration file or in your file attachment instance.

Therefore, if you decide to use my packages, please kindly consider making a donation. Any amount, no matter how small, goes a long way and is greatly appreciated. 🍺
