File Handling¶
By default, CRUDlex uses the filesystem to store uploaded files. The current working directory is taken as root here. Usually, this is the path to your index.php. So this example stores the image files under <workingDirectory>/uploads
library:
table: lib
label: Library
fields:
image:
type: file
path: uploads
One big drawback here is that the application is not stateless anymore according to https://12factor.net/processes. But luckily, the file handling is done via Flysystem and the used FilesystemInterface can be overridden easily by setting a service called “crud.filesystem”.
In any way, overriding or not, the underlying FilesystemInterface is available via
$app['crud.filesystem']
Overriding the Default Storage with Amazon S3 as Filesystem¶
Here is an example of using Amazon S3 as storage.
First, get the AwsS3Adapter:
composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3
And then configure it and hand it over to CRUDlex:
$client = S3Client::factory([
'credentials' => [
'key' => $key,
'secret' => $secret
],
'region' => $region,
'version' => 'latest',
]);
$adapter = new \League\Flysystem\AwsS3v3\AwsS3Adapter($client, $bucket);
$filesystem = new \League\Flysystem\Filesystem($adapter);
$dataFactory = new \CRUDlex\MySQLDataFactory($app['db']);
$app->register(new \CRUDlex\ServiceProvider(), array(
'crud.file' => __DIR__ . '/../crud.yml',
'crud.datafactory' => $dataFactory,
'crud.filesystem' => $filesystem,
));
