Associate files with Eloquent models

This package can associate all sorts of files with Eloquent models. It provides a simple API to work with. To learn all about it, head over to the extensive documentation.

Here are a few short examples of what you can do:

$newsItem = News::find(1);
$newsItem->addMedia($pathToFile)->toMediaCollection('images');

It can handle your uploads directly:

$newsItem->addMedia($request->file('image'))->toMediaCollection('images');

Want to store some large files on another filesystem? No problem:

$newsItem->addMedia($smallFile)->toMediaCollection('downloads', 'local');
$newsItem->addMedia($bigFile)->toMediaCollection('downloads', 's3');

The storage of the files is handled by Laravel's Filesystem, so you can use any filesystem you like. Additionally the package can create image manipulations on images and pdfs that have been added in the media library.
