Laravel Storage

curly-deni/laravel-storage adds polymorphic file records and filesystem helpers to Laravel applications. The package namespace is Aesis\Storage.

Installation

composer require curly-deni/laravel-storage
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="storage-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Publish the configuration when you need to change the defaults:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="storage-config"

The storage.table option defaults to storage__files, preserving the table name used by the application module. Set storage.public_disk to override the default disk. When it is null, the package uses filesystems.public if your application defines it, and otherwise uses public.

Store files

Files are associated with an Eloquent model through a nullable polymorphic owner relation. The default storeContents method writes to the configured public disk. Other methods allow selecting a disk or copying a stream/file from another disk.

use Aesis\Storage\Models\File;

$file = File::storeContents($user, 'avatars', $contents, 'png', 'image/png');
$url = $file->resolvedUrl();

$file->delete(); // Deletes the stored object and its database record.

Available storage methods are storeContents, storeContentsOnDisk, storeStreamOnDisk, and storeFromDisk. An external filesystem value treats the file path as an already resolved URL and skips filesystem deletion.

Filesystem adapter

The package registers the aesis_s3 filesystem driver. It retains the path prefix from an S3 endpoint when building URLs, including path-style endpoints used by S3-compatible services. Disks using the driver keep Laravel's regular S3 options such as key, secret, region, bucket, url, endpoint, and use_path_style_endpoint.

The source application adds two disk options consumed by the package's accessUrl method:

• url_access selects URL generation. public calls the disk's url() method; any other value generates a temporary URL.
• temporary_url_ttl sets the default temporary URL lifetime in minutes. It defaults to 30 when omitted and is used unless a caller passes an explicit expiration time.

The private S3 disk can also set Laravel's temporary_url option to replace the base URL used for signed links. The custom S3 adapter preserves any path prefix in that URL. This is useful when the S3 API endpoint and the URL exposed to clients are different.

For example, the source app configures private files for expiring URLs and public files for stable URLs:

's3-private' => [
    'driver' => 'aesis_s3',
    // Laravel S3 credentials, bucket, endpoint, and path-style options...
    'url_access' => 'temporary',
    'temporary_url_ttl' => 30,
],

's3-public' => [
    'driver' => 'aesis_s3',
    // Laravel S3 credentials, bucket, endpoint, and path-style options...
    'url_access' => 'public',
],
