Import media

[futurewebsites]

I have some xml files which I import using a custom command this contains content and images I am looking to hook into the handlesMedia trait, can someone point me in the right direction?

I basically need to pass a file url to be uploaded and build the mediables relation I can populate the media and mediables tables with the required info but it would be nice to hook into the existing functionality.

Many thanks in advance

Hi @futurewebsites,

I have a quick artisan command I adapted from MediaLibraryController::storeFile() to import a local image into the Media Library. It takes a file path but it's passed to file_get_contents(), which I believe can work with URLs.

Standard disclaimer — this was done very quickly and was only tested with the Glide media service. Your mileage may vary :)

namespace App\Console\Commands;

use A17\Twill\Repositories\MediaRepository;
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class TwillAddMedia extends Command
{
    protected $signature = 'twill:add-media {path}';

    protected $description = 'Add media';

    public function handle()
    {
        $path = $this->argument('path');

        if (!file_exists($path)) {
            $this->error("File $path does not exist.");
            return 1;
        }

        $originalFilename = basename($path);
        $filename = sanitizeFilename($originalFilename);
        $fileDirectory = uniqid();
        $uuid = $fileDirectory . '/' . $filename;

        if (config('twill.media_library.prefix_uuid_with_local_path', false)) {
            $prefix = trim(config('twill.media_library.local_path'), '/ ') . '/';
            $fileDirectory = $prefix . $fileDirectory;
            $uuid = $prefix . $uuid;
        }

        $disk = config('twill.media_library.disk');

        Storage::disk($disk)->put($uuid, file_get_contents($path));

        $filePath = Storage::disk($disk)->path($uuid);

        list($w, $h) = getimagesize($filePath);

        $fields = [
            'uuid' => $uuid,
            'filename' => $originalFilename,
            'width' => $w,
            'height' => $h,
        ];

        app(MediaRepository::class)->create($fields);

        return 0;
    }
}

Brilliant thanks again :)

Is there any way to have additional media library folders or categories for organising images?

@futurewebsites at the moment only tags can serve that need, but folders are highly requested, they will come!

Can attach this to another model ? i.e create the morph relationship something like:

$media = app(MediaRepository::class)->create($fields);

$someModel = ModelName::whereId(1)->first();

$someModel->attach($media);

Hi @futurewebsites, yes this should be possible. This could get a bit tricky if you have complex crop configurations but for a single role and crop, I believe this would do:

        // ...

        $media = app(MediaRepository::class)->create($fields);

        Post::find($post_id)->medias()->attach($media->id, [
            'metadatas' => '{}',
            'role' => 'cover',
            'crop' => 'default',
            'ratio' => 'default',
            'crop_x' => 0,
            'crop_y' => 0,
            'crop_w' => $w,
            'crop_h' => $h,
        ]);

You would need to add post_id as a command parameter. Also this assumes that no image is already assigned here. I think it would need to be adapted to replace existing images.

It's getting quite experimental at this point, but I hope this can help :)
