Usage

Artisan Commands

Upload files via the command line., _(*7)

Synchronize a whole directory. Copies all files to /public/assets, _(*8)

php artisan cdn:sync public/assets

Copies all files to /assets trimming 'public' from the path, _(*9)

php artisan cdn:sync public/assets --trim=public

The sync command will save a file adjacent to the synchronized directory. It contains the http and https urls for your container. Along with a md5 hash of the directory. In this way when a file changes inside a directory and is reuploaded you get a new cache busted URL., _(*10)

If you are using the URL helper then it will return a CDN url for a file, if it finds a *.cdn.json file adjacent to one of it's parent directories., _(*11)

URL::asset('assets/image.jpg');

You should be able to run php artisan cdn:sync public/assets --trim=public before or during a deployment and once complete all files being called by URL::asset() will return a CDN resource, _(*12)

Upload to CDN

Using this method will make the container public, even if previously set as private. This is a known issue yet to be addressed., _(*13)

OpenCloud::upload($container, $file, $name = null)

• $container - (string) Name of the container to upload into
• $file - (string / UploadedFile) Path to file, or instance of 'Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile' as returned by Input::file()
• $name - (string) Optional file name to be used when saving the file to the CDN.

Example:, _(*14)

Route::post('/upload', function()
{
    if(Input::hasFile('image')){
        $file = OpenCloud::upload('my-container', Input::file('image'));
    }

    $cdnUrl = $file->PublicURL();
    // Do something with $cdnUrl

    return Redirect::to('/upload');
});

Delete from CDN

OpenCloud::delete($container, $file)
