This package easily integrates filesystem manager in to your website. You can use it with TinyMCE editor or just stand alone popup for your input fields. CRIP Filesys Manager is based on Vue.js framework and is stand alone single page application for your filesystem control on server side.

Manager is using Laravel Filesystem to read and write files on the server side. This means that you can configure your Laravel driver and manager will fit to it. Amazon S3, FTP or local storage - your choice where keep files.

Require package with composer:

composer require crip-laravel/filesys

If you are on lower Laravel version that 5.5 (or choose not to use package auto discovery) add this to ServiceProvider in configuration file of your Laravel application config/app.php:

'providers' = [
    ...
    Crip\Filesys\CripFilesysServiceProvider::class,
],

Copy the package resources and views to your local folders with the publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Crip\Filesys\CripFilesysServiceProvider"

This allows you to override package resource files by updating them directly from your application: views - /resources/views/vendor/cripfilesys and assets in a /public/vendor/crip/cripfilesys folder.

Additionally you can override package configuration file publishing it to your application config folder:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Crip\Filesys\CripFilesysServiceProvider" --tag=config

Filesystem manager is not configured to any of routes and you should do it manually. This allows to ad any middleware and will not conflict with any application routes, as it can be anything you choose.

Add new methods in your app\Providers\RouteServiceProvider.php

...

/**
 * Define your route model bindings, pattern filters, etc.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function boot()
{
    Route::pattern('crip_file', '[a-zA-Z0-9.\-\/\(\)\_\% ]+');
    Route::pattern('crip_folder', '[a-zA-Z0-9.\-\/\(\)\_\% ]+');

    parent::boot();
}

/**
 * Define the routes for the application.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function map()
{
    $this->mapApiRoutes();
    $this->mapWebRoutes();
    $this->mapPackageRoutes();
}

/**
 * Define the "package" routes for the application.
 */
protected function mapPackageRoutes() {
    Route::prefix('packages')
        ->group(base_path('routes/package.php'));
}

...

Now you can add new routes file to map package controllers tou your application routes. Create new file routes/package.php and add content:

<?php

Route::group(['prefix' => 'filemanager'], function () {
    Route::resource('api/crip-folders', Crip\Filesys\App\Controllers\FolderController::class);
    Route::resource('api/crip-files', Crip\Filesys\App\Controllers\FileController::class);
    Route::get('api/crip-tree', Crip\Filesys\App\Controllers\TreeController::class);
    Route::get('/', Crip\Filesys\App\Controllers\ManagerController::class);
});

Remember - route names for FolderController and FileController are important and should be registered in RouteServiceProvider boot method with pattern to correctly allocate file location in server filesystem.

public_url - Public url to assets folder. By default assets are published to /vendor/crip/cripfilesys and this configuration default value is set to this folder.

public_storage - This feature may increase application speed, but in this case files will have public access for everyone, no matter what. If you choose enable it make sure symbolic link is created for your storage directory in case if you use local/public storage configuration.

absolute_url - Make urls to a files absolute. Useful when file manager is located under different domain.

user_folder - This value is indicates value of the subfolder of currently configured storage. This may be useful in case if you want each user or user group to have their own folder - by default single folder is shared for everyone. This can be done creating middleware for routes and defining value on application start-up. Take a look for sample below.

authorization - This value may be useful if your application is SPA and you do not use Laravel sessions to identify users. For packages as JWT you need pass token in a request or may be used Bearer authorization for API. For web routes you may pass 'token' property with value and then all API calls will contain Bearer authorization replacing placeholder with passed token value in a first request of UI part of filesys manager.

thumbs - Uploaded images will be sized to this configured Array. First argument is width and second is height. Third argument describes crop type:

• resize - crop image to width and height;
• width - resize the image to a width and constrain aspect ratio (auto height);
• height - resize the image to a height and constrain aspect ratio (auto width);

icons.url - Public url to images folder. By default images are published to /vendor/crip/cripfilesys/images/ and this configuration default value is set to this folder.

icons.files - Mapping array between file mime type name and icon image ([type].png).

mime.types - Mapping from file full mime type to type name (array).

mime.media - Mapping between mime type name and media type (array).

mime.map - Mapping between file extension and media type. Used in cases when storage may not get mime type (array).

block - Blocked file extensions and mime types.

actions - Controller actions to allocate file and directory actions.

Download and set up TinyMCE editor. Copy plugins folder from published resources \public\vendor\crip\cripfilesys\tinymce\plugins to installed TinyMCE editor plugins directory. Configure TinyMCE to enable cripfilesys plugin in it:

if (tinymce) {
  tinymce.init({
    plugins: [
      'advlist autolink link image lists charmap print preview hr anchor',
      'pagebreak searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars',
      'insertdatetime media nonbreaking table contextmenu directionality',
      'emoticons paste textcolor',
      /* Creates 'Insert file' button under 'Insert' menu. */
      'cripfilesys'
    ],
    
    /* Add 'cripfilesys-btn' to editor toolbar. */
    toolbar: 'undo redo | insert | styleselect | bold italic | ' +
    'alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | ' +
    'bullist numlist outdent indent | link image cripfilesys-btn',
    
    relative_urls: false,
    language: 'en',
    selector: '.tinymce',
    external_filemanager_path: '/packages/filemanager',
    
    /* Enables select buttons for 'media' and 'image' plugins. */
    external_plugins: {filemanager: '/vendor/crip/cripfilesys/tinymce/plugin.js'}
  })
}

Download and set up CKEditor and configure it to enable cripfilesys plugin in it:

if (CKEDITOR) {
  CKEDITOR.replace('ckeditor', {
    filebrowserBrowseUrl: '/packages/filemanager?target=ckeditor&type=file',
    filebrowserImageBrowseUrl: '/packages/filemanager?target=ckeditor&type=image'
  })
}

You can use iframe, FancyBox or Lightbox iframe to open the Fylesystem manager. To handle selected file, add GET parameter to the end of the path: /packages/filemanager?target=callback. You can filter visible files by they type: /packages/filemanager?target=callback&type=[type]. Supported types are:

• document - excel, word, pwp, html, txt and js;
• image - any file with mime type starting from image/*. Additionally you can specify default size of selected image by adding select property in a request with value of configured thumb size;
• media - audio and video;
• file - all files. This type is set by default;

Types could be configured in package configuration file mime.media section.

To handle filesystem manager selected file url, window object should contain window.cripFilesystemManager function witch will be called on file select with selected file url and all GET parameters of opened window.

        if (!Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
            return redirect('/login');
        }

        if (!Auth::user()->isAdmin()) {
            // For users who is not in group of administrators set their own
            // folder for manager and make impossible to see/change files of
            // other users.
            Config::set('cripfilesys.user_folder', Auth::user()->slug());
        }

        return $next($request);
    }
}

In this sample I use user methods isAdmin and slug where one is returning boolean indicating that user belongs to administrators group of my application and other one gets unique slug of user name.
