Features

Allows you to add videos to your application, to show users how to perform a specific action, demonstrate a feature, present a process flow, etc. This is a complementary package to Tutorial Manager.

easily upload media clips from your computer, setting a title and a description
simple to use tag manager
optionally add a caption/cover picture for each video
optionally tag the clips and then filter them using the tags
permissions dependent controls, where regular users can only view the videos.

Installation

The component is already included in the Enso install and should not require any additional installation steps.

Notes

Even though the media files are filtered on upload using their mime-types, depending on the encoding and versions, some files might not work, as this is a limitation of the video.js library. Experiment and find what works for you.

Depends on:

Core for middleware and user model
File manager for handling files
Helpers for utility classes
Image Transformer for optimizing the media files
Select for select functionality
Structure manager for the migrations
VueComponents for various VueJS components

Publishes

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=howToVideos-storage - the storage folder that holds the medial files that will be uploaded
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=howToVideos-assets - the VueJS components
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=enso-assets - a common alias for when wanting to update the assets, once a newer version is released, usually used with the --force flag
