Laravel Filesystem / Cloud Storage Custom Filesystems
Example
Laravel's Flysystem integration provides drivers for several "drivers" out of the box; however, Flysystem is not limited to these and has adapters for many other storage systems. You can create a custom driver if you want to use one of these additional adapters in your Laravel application. Don't worry, it's not too hard!
In order to set up the custom filesystem you will need to create a service provider such as DropboxFilesystemServiceProvider. In the provider's boot method, you can inject an instance of the Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Factory contract and call the extend method of the injected instance. Alternatively, you may use the Disk facade's extend method.
The first argument of the extend method is the name of the driver and the second is a Closure that receives the $app and $config variables. The resolver Closure must return an instance of League\Flysystem\Filesystem.
Note: The $config variable will already contain the values defined in
config/filesystems.phpfor the specified disk. Dropbox Example
<?php namespace App\Providers;
use Storage;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use Dropbox\Client as DropboxClient;
use League\Flysystem\Dropbox\DropboxAdapter;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
class DropboxFilesystemServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function boot()
{
Storage::extend('dropbox', function($app, $config)
{
$client = new DropboxClient($config['accessToken'], $config['clientIdentifier']);
return new Filesystem(new DropboxAdapter($client));
});
}
public function register()
{
//
}
}
