Attachments

Manual attachments

If your Eloquent models has richTextFields fields and the InteractsWithMedia trait setup, you shouldn't have to manually handle attachments.

Manually uploading attachments can be done by simply flagging the upload as at attachment.

$attachment = Upload::make($uploadedFile)
        ->asAttachment()
        ->allow('jpg', 'png')
        ->save();
// or
$attachment = Upload::attachment($uploadedFile)
        ->allow('jpg', 'png')
        ->save();
// or
$attachment = Upload::uploadAttachment($uploadedFile);

Associate a model

Using the richTextFields field

$product->description = '
	...
	<img src="$attachment->url" alt="$attachment->alt" >
	...
';
$product->save();

Or

$attachment->attach($product);

Persisting attachments

Attachments are pending on creation until manually or automatically persisted by a richTextFields field.

You shouldn't need to do this if your models has the richTextFields fields and the InteractsWithMedia trait.

use MOIREI\MediaLibrary\Models\Attachment;
...
$attachment = Attachment::where('url', $url)->first();
$attachment->persist();

With the an Eloquent model

For this to work, the models must have the attachment url embedded in an img tag in one of its richTextFields fields.

This call will replace any existing model attachment with $product.

use MOIREI\MediaLibrary\Api;

Api::persistAttachments($product);

Purging attachments

$attachment = Attachment::where('url', $url)->first();
$attachment->purge();

Purge state attachments

Attachment::pruneStale();
// or specify age
Attachment::pruneStale(7); // older than 7 days
