Choose Directories Based On Model In Media Library - Laravel

Hi everyone, today I'm going to something that I just learned this weekend. I was hacking on a side project and in upload I was using the Media Library (An Open Source Package By Spatie) in Laravel. I used this to store multiple product images.
Mentioned in this blog as well. File Upload Using Filepond In Laravel
When I used it for avatars it was directly creating directories storage/app/public/{model_id}/pic.png
but in order cases I need something else. I wanted to create orders a directory and then model_id etc. So, I went to the documentation of the media library and then went to config/media-library.php
a config file. There you'll get an option custom_path_generator => []
in which you can assign a generator class for Order
Model.
And it started working. The below code snippet represents what I did. That you can use as a reference.
/*
* Here you can specify which path generator should be used for the given class.
*/
'custom_path_generators' => [
// Model::class => PathGenerator::class
Order::class => OrdersPathGenerator::class
// or
// 'model_morph_alias' => PathGenerator::class
],
I key you will have to pass the model name and in value the path generator class name.
This is my path generator class. I might be wrong in placing because I modified the method a little bit. But I can assure you that I worked for me and obviously will work for you as well.
<?php
namespace App\MediaLibrary;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\Support\PathGenerator\PathGenerator;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Models\Media;
class OrdersPathGenerator implements PathGenerator
{
/*
* Get the path for the given media, relative to the root storage path.
*/
public function getPath(Media $media): string
{
return $this->getBasePath($media);
}
/*
* Get the path for conversions of the given media, relative to the root storage path.
*/
public function getPathForConversions(Media $media): string
{
return $this->getBasePath($media) . '/conversions/';
}
/*
* Get the path for responsive images of the given media, relative to the root storage path.
*/
public function getPathForResponsiveImages(Media $media): string
{
return $this->getBasePath($media) . '/responsive-images/';
}
/*
* Get a unique base path for the given media.
*/
protected function getBasePath(Media $media): string
{
return 'orders/' . $media->getKey() . '/';
}
}
