Questions

1. Is this package an alternative to Laravel FileSystem and do they work together?

• No, the package was introduced in Laravel 4 and it's main purpose is to manage your CDN assets by loading them from the CDN into your Views pages, and easily switch between your Local and CDN version of the files. As well it allows you to upload all your assets with single command after specifying the assets directory and rules. The FileSystem was introduced in Laravel 5 and it's designed to facilitate the loading/uploading of files form/to a CDN. It can be used the same way as this Package for loading assets from the CDN, but it's harder to upload your assets to the CDN since it expect you to upload your files one by one. As a result this package still not a replacement of the Laravel FileSystem and they can be used together.

Installation

Via Composer

Require publiux/laravelcdn in your project:, _(*4)

composer require "publiux/laravelcdn:~4.0"

If you are using Laravel 5.4 or below, you need to register the service provider:, _(*5)

     Publiux\laravelcdn\CdnServiceProvider::class,
),

'aliases' => array(
     //...
     'CDN' => Publiux\laravelcdn\Facades\CdnFacadeAccessor::class
),

If you are using Laravel 5.5, there is no need to register the service provider as this package is automatically discovered., _(*7)

Usage

Push

Only changed assets are pushed to the CDN. (THanks, ), _(*22)

Upload assets to CDN, _(*23)

php artisan cdn:push

You can specify a folder upload prefix in the cdn.php config file. Your assets will be uploaded into that folder on S3., _(*24)

Empty

Delete assets from CDN, _(*25)

php artisan cdn:empty

CAUTION: This will erase your entire bucket. This may not be what you want if you are specifying an upload folder when you push your assets., _(*26)

Load Assets

Use the facade CDN to call the CDN::asset() function., _(*27)

Note: the asset works the same as the Laravel asset it start looking for assets in the public/ directory:, _(*28)

{{CDN::asset('assets/js/main.js')}}        // example result: https://js-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/public/assets/js/main.js

{{CDN::asset('assets/css/style.css')}}        // example result: https://css-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/public/assets/css/style.css

Note: the elixir works the same as the Laravel elixir it loads the manifest.json file from build folder and choose the correct file revision generated by gulp:, _(*29)

{{CDN::elixir('assets/js/main.js')}}        // example result: https://js-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/public/build/assets/js/main-85cafe36ff.js

{{CDN::elixir('assets/css/style.css')}}        // example result: https://css-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/public/build/assets/css/style-2d558139f2.css

Note: the mix works the same as the Laravel 5.4 mix it loads the mix-manifest.json file from public folder and choose the correct file revision generated by webpack:, _(*30)

{{CDN::mix('/js/main.js')}}        // example result: https://js-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/public/js/main-85cafe36ff.js

{{CDN::mix('/css/style.css')}}        // example result: https://css-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/public/css/style-2d558139f2.css

To use a file from outside the public/ directory, anywhere in app/ use the CDN::path() function:, _(*31)

{{CDN::path('private/something/file.txt')}}        // example result: https://css-bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/private/something/file.txt
