README

A Filament 4 form component package for Laravel 12 that uploads image assets to a third‑party Photonic API, stores metadata in your database, and renders CDN image URLs. It does not persist the uploaded file locally.

We intend this package to be used with the Photonic Server API.

Features

• Optionally records each upload to a dedicated photonic table.
• Includes form component:
  • PhotonicImageField – composite helper (upload + preview + delete + meta info).
• Blade component <x-photonic-filament::image> for rendering CDN URLs.
• Helpers:
  • photonic_asset($filename, $assetUuid, $preset = 'original') URL builder.
  • get_photonic_table_name() resolves the media table from config.

Installation

composer require digitonic/photonic-filament

1. Run the installer

php artisan photonic-filament:install

The installer will prompt you for the required Photonic values and will update both your .env and .env.example.

2. Publish and run migrations

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=photonic-filament-migrations
php artisan migrate

This creates the photonic table in your database to store image metadata.

Optional: Publish config and views

If you want to customize the config or views:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=photonic-filament-config
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=photonic-filament-views

Configuration

All options live in config/photonic-filament.php and can be set via environment variables:

Key	Env var	Default	Description

cdn_endpoint	PHOTONIC_CDN_ENDPOINT	https://minio.herd.test/photonic	Base CDN URL for image rendering.
site_uuid	PHOTONIC_SITE_UUID	(null)	Site identifier sent with each upload.
api_key	PHOTONIC_API_KEY	(null)	Bearer API token.
file_field	PHOTONIC_FILE_FIELD	file	Multipart field name for the uploaded file.
