Laravel FilePond Backend

An all in one Laravel backend for FilePond

We currently support the `process` and `revert` methods and are securing those via the Laravel encryption/decryption methods.

Laravel setup

Require this package in the composer.json of your Laravel project.

composer require sopamo/laravel-filepond

If you need to edit the configuration, you can publish it with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Sopamo\LaravelFilepond\LaravelFilepondServiceProvider"

Included in this repo is a Filepond upload controller which is where you should direct uploads to. Upon upload the controller will return the $serverId which Filepond will send via a hidden input field (same name as the img) to be used in your own controller to move the file from temporary storage to somewhere permanent using the getPathFromServerId($request->input('image')) function.

// Get the temporary path using the serverId returned by the upload function in `FilepondController.php`
$filepond = app(Sopamo\LaravelFilepond\Filepond::class);
$path = $filepond->getPathFromServerId($serverId);

// Move the file from the temporary path to the final location
$finalLocation = public_path('output.jpg');
\File::move($path, $finalLocation);

Filepond setup

Set at least the following Filepond configuration:

FilePond.setOptions({
  server: {
    url: '/filepond/api',
    process: '/process',
    revert: '/process',
    headers: {
      'X-CSRF-TOKEN': '{{ csrf_token() }}'
    }
  }
});
