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 /uploads .. code-block:: yaml 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. In any way, overriding or not, the underlying FilesystemInterface is available via .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Symfony 4 the service "crudlex.fileSystemAdapter". .. group-tab:: Silex 2 .. code-block:: php $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: .. code-block:: bash composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 And then configure it and hand it over to CRUDlex: .. tabs:: .. group-tab:: Symfony 4 The Flysystem Adapter is integrated as service which can be overwritten. Here is an example using the S3 adapter: .. code-block:: yaml s3.client: class: Aws\S3\S3Client arguments: - version: "latest" region: "" credentials: key: "" secret: "" crudlex.fileSystemAdapter: public: true class: "League\\Flysystem\\AwsS3v3\\AwsS3Adapter" arguments: - "@s3.client" - "" .. group-tab:: Silex 2 .. code-block:: php $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(), [ 'crud.file' => __DIR__ . '/../crud.yml', 'crud.datafactory' => $dataFactory, 'crud.filesystem' => $filesystem, ]); ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Filesystem Storage Adapters ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Many more adapters are available for Flysystem, including (as of writing): * Local * Azure * AWS S3 * DigitalOcean Spaces * Dropbox * FTP * Memory * Null / Test * Rackspace * ReplicateAdapter * SFTP * WebDAV * PHPCR * ZipArchive See the `Flysystem `_ page for their usage.
