Getting Started

Installation

The AWS Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the aws/aws-sdk-php-laravel package in your project's composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "aws/aws-sdk-php-laravel": "~3.0"
    }
}

Then run a composer update

php composer.phar update

To use the AWS Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your application.

Lumen

In Lumen find the Register Service Providers in your bootstrap/app.php and register the AWS Service Provider.

    $app->register(Aws\Laravel\AwsServiceProvider::class);

Laravel

In Laravel find the providers key in your config/app.php and register the AWS Service Provider.

    'providers' => array(
        // ...
        Aws\Laravel\AwsServiceProvider::class,
    )

Find the aliases key in your config/app.php and add the AWS facade alias.

    'aliases' => array(
        // ...
        'AWS' => Aws\Laravel\AwsFacade::class,
    )

Configuration

By default, the package uses the following environment variables to auto-configure the plugin without modification:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_REGION (default = us-east-1)

To customize the configuration file, publish the package configuration using Artisan.

php artisan vendor:publish  --provider="Aws\Laravel\AwsServiceProvider"

The settings can be found in the generated config/aws.php configuration file. By default, the credentials and region settings will pull from your .env file.

return [
    'credentials' => [
        'key'    => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID', ''),
        'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY', ''),
    ],
    'region' => env('AWS_REGION', 'us-east-1'),
    'version' => 'latest',
    
    // You can override settings for specific services
    'Ses' => [
        'region' => 'us-east-1',
    ],
];

Note that you can always delete the credentials line from this file if you'd like to use the default SDK Configuration Provider chain instead.

Referring Laravel 5.2.0 Upgrade guide, you must using config file instead of environment variable option if using php artisan config:cache.

Learn more about configuring the SDK on the SDK's User Guide.

Usage

In order to use the AWS SDK for PHP within your app, you need to retrieve it from the Laravel Service Container. The following example uses the Amazon S3 client to upload a file.

$s3 = App::make('aws')->createClient('s3');
$s3->putObject(array(
    'Bucket'     => 'YOUR_BUCKET',
    'Key'        => 'YOUR_OBJECT_KEY',
    'SourceFile' => '/the/path/to/the/file/you/are/uploading.ext',
));

If the AWS facade is registered within the aliases section of the application configuration, you can also use the following technique.

$s3 = AWS::createClient('s3');
$s3->putObject(array(
    'Bucket'     => 'YOUR_BUCKET',
    'Key'        => 'YOUR_OBJECT_KEY',
    'SourceFile' => '/the/path/to/the/file/you/are/uploading.ext',
));
