Overview

This package provides the ability to relate a piece of Media to any model via a polymorphic join table. Once correctly configured, create/edit views for the affected models will render the MediaBrowser field. The MediaBrowser field simply presents the user with existing Media to mark as being related.

Installation

1. Add bozboz/media-library to composer.json:

	"require": {
		"bozboz/media-library": "0.2.*"
	}

1. Add the following to the providers array within app/config/app.php:

	'Bozboz\MediaLibrary\MediaLibraryServiceProvider',
	'Thapp\JitImage\JitImageServiceProvider'

1. Publish bozboz/media-library assets, migratons and configuration:

	./artisan config:publish bozboz/media-library
	./artisan asset:publish bozboz/media-library
	./artisan migrate:publish bozboz/media-library

1. Run ./artisan migrate

2. Run ./artisan asset:publish bozboz/media-library

3. Run gulp

4. Run ./artisan config:publish thapp/jitimage

5. Open app/config/packages/thapp/jitimage/config.php and update with the following:

	use Bozboz\MediaLibrary\ImageFilters\Resize;
	use Bozboz\MediaLibrary\ImageFilters\ResizeAndCrop;

	return [
		...
		'recipes' => [
			'library' => new Resize(150, 0),
			'thumb' => new ResizeAndCrop(150, 150)
		]
	];

Making models "mediable"

By default, only Pages will be mediable out of the box. You can define new media models inside app/config/packages/bozboz/media-library/config.php:

	'models' => [
		'Bozboz\Admin\Models\Page'
	]

General information

This works by listening out for when a create/edit form is being built by using the MediaEventHandler subscriber. If the form being rendered is associated with a mediable model, a select box containing available Media is displayed to the user.

To get all Media instances for a given Page model, pass the Page model to Media::forModel(). This will return an instancce of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphToMany which contains the results. Actual model instances can be accessed by calling get() on the return value.
