Nova Advanced Image Field
An advanced image field for Nova with crop and resize.
This package provides an advanced image field for Nova resources allowing you to upload, crop and resize any image. It uses Cropper.js with vue-cropperjs in the frontend and Intervention Image in the backend.
Requirements
- PHP
^8.0 - Laravel Nova
^4.0or^5.0 - Intervention Image
^3.6
Intervention Image requires one of the following libraries for image processing:
- GD Library >=2.0 (used by default)
- Imagick PHP extension >=6.5.7
See the Intervention requirements for more details. The autoOrientate() helper additionally requires the PHP exif extension to be enabled.
Installation
Install the package into a Laravel application with Nova using Composer:
composer require marshmallow/nova-advanced-image
The field service provider is auto-discovered, so there is nothing further to register.
If you want to use Imagick as the default image processing library, follow the Intervention documentation for Laravel. This will provide you with a new configuration file where you can specify the driver you want. You can also override the driver per field with ->driver('imagick').
Usage
AdvancedImage extends Nova's Image field, so you can use any method that Image/File implements. See the Nova file field documentation for the inherited options.
<?php namespace App\Nova; // ... use Marshmallow\AdvancedImage\AdvancedImage; class Post extends Resource { // ... public function fields(Request $request) { return [ // ... // Simple image upload AdvancedImage::make('photo'), // Show a cropbox with a free ratio AdvancedImage::make('photo')->croppable(), // Show a cropbox with a fixed ratio AdvancedImage::make('photo')->croppable(16 / 9), // Resize the image to a max width AdvancedImage::make('photo')->resize(1920), // Resize the image to a max height AdvancedImage::make('photo')->resize(null, 1080), // Show a cropbox and resize the image AdvancedImage::make('photo')->croppable()->resize(400, 300), // Auto-rotate based on the image's Exif orientation (requires the exif extension) AdvancedImage::make('photo')->autoOrientate(), // Override the image processing driver for this field only ('gd' or 'imagick') AdvancedImage::make('photo')->driver('imagick')->croppable(), // Store to AWS S3 AdvancedImage::make('photo')->disk('s3'), // Specify a custom subdirectory AdvancedImage::make('photo')->disk('s3')->path('image'), ]; } }
The resize option uses Intervention Image resize() with the upsize and aspect ratio constraints.
Available methods
| Method | Description |
|---|---|
croppable($param = true) |
Enable the crop box. Pass a numeric value (e.g. 16 / 9) to lock a fixed aspect ratio. |
resize($width = null, $height = null) |
Resize the stored image to a maximum width and/or height. |
driver(string $driver) |
Override the Intervention driver for this field. Accepts gd or imagick. |
autoOrientate() |
Rotate the image to the orientation stored in its Exif data. Requires the PHP exif extension. |
customThumbnail($callable) |
Customise the thumbnail URL resolver (proxies Nova's thumbnail()). |
customPreview($callable) |
Customise the preview URL resolver (proxies Nova's preview()). |
setCustomCallback($customCallback) |
Run a custom callback after the image has been stored. |
Avatar variant
For avatar-style fields, use AdvancedAvatar. It extends AdvancedImage, implements Nova's Cover contract and renders a rounded thumbnail.
use Marshmallow\AdvancedImage\AdvancedAvatar; AdvancedAvatar::make('avatar')->croppable(1),
