Store Files Privately

I am trying to store images privately, While uploading i did

FileUpload::make('photopath')
                        ->disk('private')->directory('users')
                        ->moveFiles()
                        ->imageEditor()
                        ->image()
                        ->label('Photo'),

FileUpload::make('photopath')
                        ->disk('private')->directory('users')
                        ->moveFiles()
                        ->imageEditor()
                        ->image()
                        ->label('Photo'),

Now while displaying in Table Column, I did:

ImageColumn::make('photopath')
                    ->label('Photo')
                    ->disk('private')
                    ->width(75)
                    ->height(75)
                    ->circular(),

ImageColumn::make('photopath')
                    ->label('Photo')
                    ->disk('private')
                    ->width(75)
                    ->height(75)
                    ->circular(),

Also Created a disk private:

'private' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/images'),
            'visibility' => 'private',
            'throw' => true,
        ],

'private' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/images'),
            'visibility' => 'private',
            'throw' => true,
        ],

The images should be stored on: storage\app\images\users Directory Errors: Image is not displaying in Table column but images are stored on the correct directory. Got Image URL as: http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/users/01HN09XYQV87XARHA3PJNH2VKS.png

Solution:

Try this: ``` FileUpload::make('photopath') ->disk('local')->directory('users') ->moveFiles()...

Image can't display because it's private. You need to setup a temporaryUrl and a controller that serves your files.

Laravel Temporary URL for local storage driver

Recently, I needed to use a temporary URL. Laravel supports temporary URLs out of the box with S3...

what steps do I need to follow, can you guide me on this ?

Dennis Koch•5mo ago

Um, I just sent you an article that guides you through this? What else do you need?

David warner•5mo ago

Got undefined method on buildTemporaryUrlsUsing.

Dennis Koch•5mo ago

Share some code 🤷🏼‍♂️

Does it actually throw an error?! This is just your intellisense

David warner•5mo ago

okay. I added that code in AppServiveProvider and added Route too, Now what should I do to display that image in ImageColumn

Dennis Koch•5mo ago

Use the local disk and visibility private should do it I think

Try this:

                        FileUpload::make('photopath')
                        ->disk('local')->directory('users')
                        ->moveFiles()
                        ->visibility('private')
                        ->imageEditor()
                        ->image()
                        ->label('Photo'),

                        FileUpload::make('photopath')
                        ->disk('local')->directory('users')
                        ->moveFiles()
                        ->visibility('private')
                        ->imageEditor()
                        ->image()
                        ->label('Photo'),

And on table column:

ImageColumn::make('photopath')
                    ->label('Photo')
                    ->disk('local')
                    ->visibility('private'),

ImageColumn::make('photopath')
                    ->label('Photo')
                    ->disk('local')
                    ->visibility('private'),

Add this on your AppServiveProvider inside boot:

Storage::disk('local')->buildTemporaryUrlsUsing(function ($photopath, $expiration, $options) {
            return URL::temporarySignedRoute(
                'local.temp',
                $expiration,
                array_merge($options, ['photopath' => $photopath])
            );
        });

Storage::disk('local')->buildTemporaryUrlsUsing(function ($photopath, $expiration, $options) {
            return URL::temporarySignedRoute(
                'local.temp',
                $expiration,
                array_merge($options, ['photopath' => $photopath])
            );
        });

Add the route in web.php * if you need files from sub-folder then add: ->where('photopath', '.')

Route::get('local/temp/{photopath}', function (string $photopath){
    return Storage::disk('local')->download($photopath);
})->where('photopath', '.*')->name('local.temp');

Route::get('local/temp/{photopath}', function (string $photopath){
    return Storage::disk('local')->download($photopath);
})->where('photopath', '.*')->name('local.temp');

On filesystems.php config,

'local' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/images'),
            'throw' => false,
        ],

'local' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path('app/images'),
            'throw' => false,
        ],
