README

Nova Kontainer is a Laravel Nove component that adds a file picker for Kontainer

Features

Select any image or video from Kontainer and have the url stored in Laravel Nova.

You must have a Kontainer account in order to use this plugin. Read more and create an account on the official website.

How to Install

Run the following command from your project root:

composer require jezzdk/nova-kontainer

Usage

public function fields()
{
    return [ 
        NovaKontainer::make(__('Image')),
     ];
}

The image data will be saved as json, so you should make the database field text/json. In your model the field can then be cast as an array.

Given the example above, the image property will contain the url and the type of the file as a minimum. It may contain several other properties that are passed from Kontainer.

$model->image['url']; // https://myaccount.kontainer.com/cdn/2SP4HV/bm-604549.jpg
$model->image['type']; // 'image'
$model->image['extension']; // 'jpg'
...

Config

Set the URL to your Kontainer account with kontainerUrl():

public function fields()
{
    return [ 
        NovaKontainer::make(__('Image'))
            ->kontainerUrl('https://my-account.kontainer.com'),
     ];
}

You can limit the allowed file type by using the following methods:

NovaKontainer::make(__('Image'))->onlyImages();
NovaKontainer::make(__('Video'))->onlyVideos();
NovaKontainer::make(__('File'))->onlyFiles();

Upgrading from v1

From v2 the data will be saved as json in the database. If you have already used v1 for a while, and you already have data, you should migrate your data to the new json format.

In v1 the data was just the url of the image. As a minimum the new json data should contain the url and type. A simple database query can do this in one go:

UPDATE my_table SET my_field = REPLACE('{"url":"%url%", "type":"image"}', '%url%', my_field)

If you have a mix of images and videos, you might want to add some where clauses to the query, and set the type accordingly.

After this you should be able to convert the field type to text or json.
