Create new file system for laravel

Creating a new file system for Laravel involves several steps:

  1. Define the file system: Determine what type of file system you want to create (e.g., local, cloud-based, network-based).
  2. Choose a storage driver: Select a storage driver that will handle the file system's underlying storage (e.g., disk, cloud storage, database).
  3. Create a file system class: Write a PHP class that extends the Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem class and implements the necessary methods for interacting with the file system.
  4. Register the file system: Register the new file system in the Laravel application's filesystems.php configuration file.
  5. Use the file system: Use the new file system in your Laravel application by injecting it into your controllers, models, or other classes.

Here's an example of how to create a new file system for Laravel:

Step 1: Define the file system

Let's create a file system that stores files in a cloud-based storage service, such as Amazon S3.

Step 2: Choose a storage driver

We'll use the league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3 package to interact with Amazon S3.

Step 3: Create a file system class

Create a new PHP class, e.g., CloudFileSystem.php, that extends the Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem class:

// app/Filesystems/CloudFileSystem.php

namespace App\Filesystems;

use Illuminate\Filesystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\AwsS3V3\AwsS3V3Adapter;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem as Flysystem;

class CloudFileSystem extends Filesystem
{
    protected $adapter;

    public function __construct(AwsS3V3Adapter $adapter)
    {
        $this->adapter = $adapter;
    }

    public function put($path, $contents)
    {
        return $this->adapter->put($path, $contents);
    }

    public function get($path)
    {
        return $this->adapter->read($path);
    }

    public function delete($path)
    {
        return $this->adapter->delete($path);
    }
}

Step 4: Register the file system

In the filesystems.php configuration file, add the new file system:

// config/filesystems.php

'cloud' => [
    'driver' => 'cloud',
    'root' => 'my-bucket',
    'key' => env('AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
    'secret' => env('AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
    'region' => env('AWS_DEFAULT_REGION'),
],

Step 5: Use the file system

In your Laravel application, you can now use the new file system by injecting it into your controllers, models, or other classes:

// app/Http/Controllers/MyController.php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Filesystems\CloudFileSystem;

class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $cloudFileSystem = app(CloudFileSystem::class);
        $cloudFileSystem->put('path/to/file', $request->file('file'));
        //...
    }
}

That's it! You've created a new file system for Laravel that stores files in a cloud-based storage service.
