Storage/disk driver

The FilesystemStorageDriver allows you to let the Media Library run on top of any Laravel filesystem disk. This works both for disks that already have data, as well as entirely empty disks. The Media Library works interchangeably with any other disk operations, thus zero configuration is needed.

Pros

• Link selected images to your models using a string path to their file.
• Easy to integrate with existing projects that already have their own media library structure.
• Image conversions built with Glide, Cloudflare Images & Bunny.net Dynamic Image Processing.
• Support any file type.

Cons

• No PDF/video-previews built-in.
• Authorization required to ensure that used images are not deleted.
• No duplicate file handling (if allowed to upload preserving name).
• No built-in ability to store metadata (like alt-text).

Installation

use RalphJSmit\Filament\MediaLibrary\Drivers\FilesystemStorageDriver;

$plugin
    ->driver(FilesystemStorageDriver::class)

$plugin
    ->driver(FilesystemStorageDriver::class, function (FilesystemStorageDriver $driver) {
        return $driver->disk('s3');
    })

$plugin
    ->driver(FilesystemStorageDriver::class, function (FilesystemStorageDriver $driver) {
        return $driver->disk('s3')->directory('media');
    })

That's it! You now have a fully functional Media Library running on your filesystem storage disk as a driver.
