Filament Attachment Library

Latest version on GitHub Total downloads GitHub issues License

Filament package for easy attachment uploading and browsing.

Quick start

Compatibility

For certain Filament versions, changes have to be made that render the package backwards incompatible with the previous version. Please see the table below to determine which version you need.

Version Filament
v2 (current) >=4.0
v1 <4.0

Please note: the main branch will always be the latest major version.

Installation

The Filament Attachment Library can be installed using Composer by running the following command:

composer require van-ons/filament-attachment-library:^2.0

An installation command is available that ensures that the migrations and assets are installed:

php artisan filament-attachment-library:install

The templates in this package use TailwindCSS. To ensure the styling is rendered correctly, a custom Filament theme must be set up, and the tailwind.config.js file should be extended.

Create the custom Filament theme and follow the instructions in the terminal to set it up:

php artisan make:filament-theme [PANEL_NAME]

Add the following to the generated theme.css file:

// resources/css/filament/[PANEL_NAME]/theme.css
@source '../../../../vendor/van-ons/filament-attachment-library/resources/**/*.blade.php'

Note

Make sure to follow the instructions in the terminal to register your custom Filament theme in the admin panel.

If your project is using Vite, you may have to register the custom theme as follows: ->viteTheme('resources/css/filament/[PANEL_NAME]/theme.css', 'build')

By default, this package uses the public disk defined in filesystems.php. This can be overridden by adding the following to the project's .env file:

ATTACHMENTS_DISK=disk_name_here

Note

It is advised to use a disk without any other files. This prevents file conflicts.

The glide.php and attachment-library.php files contain more configuration options.

Prepare model

Register the plugin in the desired Filament panel:

namespace App\Providers\Filament;

use VanOns\FilamentAttachmentLibrary\FilamentAttachmentLibrary;

class ExamplePanelProvider extends PanelProvider
{
    public function panel(Panel $panel): Panel
    {
        return $panel
            ->plugin(FilamentAttachmentLibrary::make());
    }

}

Usage

The attachment field can be used in two ways: either to store the attachments in a specific column of your model, or to store the attachments in the attachments relationship by using the HasAttachments trait and the relationship() method.

(Optional) Add the HasAttachments trait to your desired model:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use VanOns\LaravelAttachmentLibrary\Concerns\HasAttachments;

class ModelName extends Model
{
    use HasAttachments;

    // ...
}

This will add the attachments() relationship which links one or more attachments to your model.

Then, in your form schema, add the AttachmentField:

namespace App\Filament\Resources;

use Filament\Forms;
use Filament\Forms\Form;
use VanOns\FilamentAttachmentLibrary\Forms\Components\AttachmentField;

public static function form(Form $form): Form
{
    return $form
        ->schema([
            // ...
            // If you want to store the attachments in a column
            AttachmentField::make('featured_image'),
            // Or if you want to store attachments in the attachments relationship with a specific collection name
            AttachmentField::make('gallery')->relationship(),
            // Or if you want the collection name to be different from the field name
            AttachmentField::make('gallery')->relationship()->collection('product_gallery'),
        ]);
}

(Optional) When using the relationship() method, you can filter the attachments by collection name. To make this easier you can add a separate relationship method to your model:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Relations\MorphToMany;
use VanOns\LaravelAttachmentLibrary\Concerns\HasAttachments;

class ModelName extends Model
{
    use HasAttachments;

    public function gallery(): MorphToMany
    {
        return $this->attachmentCollection('gallery');
    }
}

Finally, at the front end, the laravel-attachment-library-image Blade component can be used to display attachments as image. Glide is used to scale the image up or down. The src argument may be an Attachment instance, or the id as string/integer.

<x-laravel-attachment-library-image :src="$image" />
