Full Installation Guide

1. Install package

    composer require unisharp/laravel-filemanager
   

2. (optional) Install required dependency with v3.* of intervention/image:

   This package use intervention/image to perform image cropping/resizing and generating thumbnails. Since v3.* of intervention/image does not support Laravel by default, the service provider need to be installed with the following scripts. Details can be found here: https://github.com/Intervention/image-laravel

    composer require intervention/image-laravel
    php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Intervention\Image\Laravel\ServiceProvider"
   

   * Do not run these scripts if you use v2.* of intervention/image.

3. Publish the package’s config and assets :

    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lfm_config
    php artisan vendor:publish --tag=lfm_public
   

4. (optional) Run commands to clear cache :

    php artisan route:clear
    php artisan config:clear
   

5. Ensure that the files & images directories (in config/lfm.php) are writable by your web server (run commands like chown or chmod).

6. Create symbolic link :

    php artisan storage:link
   

7. Edit APP_URL in .env.

8. Edit routes/web.php :

   Create route group to wrap package routes.

    Route::group(['prefix' => 'laravel-filemanager', 'middleware' => ['web', 'auth']], function () {
        \UniSharp\LaravelFilemanager\Lfm::routes();
    });
   

   Make sure auth middleware is present to :

   1. prevent unauthorized uploads
   2. work properly with multi-user mode
