Upload files to AWS S3 using laravel

Today, I am going to share with you How to file upload in AWS s3 using Laravel 5. Laravel 5 introduce new feature in FileSystem that makes easy to upload file or image or docs etc in S3 server.

When we use s3 driver for Storage FileSystem we require to install "league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3" composer package for amazon api. So you have to just follow few step to do this from scratch.

First we need to install flysystem-aws-s3-v3 Package.
Run below command in CMD/Terminal

composer require league/flysystem-aws-s3-v3

Now you have to add following details on your config/filesystems.php file.


's3' => [
            'driver' => 's3',
            'key' => 'aws-access-key',
            'secret' => 'aws-secret-key',
            'region' => 'aws-region',
            'bucket' => 'bucket-name,
        ],
Now we need to create a S3 Filesystem instance, define the path relative to our bucket, and upload the file. We will use the $s->put() method, and pass three perameters.

Now put the below code into your controller:
-Filepath relative to your bucket
-The contents of the file
-Permission of the file (optional)

$files = $request->file('image');

if(!empty($files)) {

$imageName = time().rand(11,99).'.'.$files->getClientOriginalExtension();

$s3 = \Storage::disk('s3');

$filePath = '/folder-name/'.$imageName;

$s3->put($filePath, file_get_contents($files), 'public');

}
