Installation

You can install this package via Composer:

composer require omarabdulwahhab/filemanager

Usage

I will explain all package usages using some examples.

Storing Files

Example 1

/*
* This code returns the name of the stored file.  
*/
return FileManager::trigger()
            ->setVisible(true)
            ->store($request->file("file"))

• In the previous example, you instantiate an object from the main class then you set the visibility of the file to true, so it the file passed in the store method will be stored in public folder and a symbolic link will be created automatically.
  
• note that the default value of the visibilty is false, so the file will be stored in storage folder like an example below.
  

Example 2

/*
* This code returns the name of the stored file.  
*/
return FileManager::trigger()
            ->setVisible(false)
            ->store($request->file("file"))

A symbolic link in laravel is making a copy of storage folder inside public folder to be visible, read laravel docs

Example 3

• You may need to do the same as above but with creating sub-folders

/*
* This code returns the name of the stored file.  
*/
return FileManager::trigger()
            ->setVisible(false)
            ->storeToFileDirectory($request->file("file"),"FirstSubFolder/SecondSubFolder");

Deleting Files

Example 4

/*
* This code returns boolean value
*/
FileManager::trigger()
            ->deleteFileFromPublicPath($request->file_name)

• The deleteFileFromPublicPath function accepts two params, the first is the file name to be deleted and the second is the sub folders or path, the second parameter by default is 'storage'.

Example 5

/*
* This code returns boolean value
*/
FileManager::trigger()
            ->deleteFileFromPublicPath($request->file_name,"FirstSubFolder/SecondSubFolder")

Example 6

/*
* This code returns boolean value
*/
FileManager::trigger()
            ->deleteFileFromStoragePath($request->file_name)

• • The deleteFileFromStoragePath function accepts two params, the first is the file name to be deleted and the second is the sub folders or path, the second parameter by default is 'storage'.

Example 7

/*
* This code returns boolean value
*/
FileManager::trigger()
            ->deleteFileFromStoragePath($request->file_name,"FirstSubFolder/SecondSubFolder")
