Question 1

How do I turn off auto upload in Laravel ImageUp?

Accepted Answer

Set 'auto_upload' => false in the field options within $imageFields, or call $model->disableAutoUpload() method. This prevents automatic uploads on model save and allows manual control.

Question 2

Laravel ImageUp vs Spatie Media Library: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

ImageUp is simpler and model-centric, ideal for basic uploads with auto-processing. Spatie Media Library offers more features like media collections and conversions, but with added complexity and a steeper learning curve.

Question 3

How to add a watermark to images with Laravel ImageUp?

Accepted Answer

Use the 'after_save' hook to apply a watermark. Create a hook class that manipulates the Intervention Image instance, such as adding text or an overlay, and specify it in the field configuration.

Question 4

Does Laravel ImageUp support async image processing?

Accepted Answer

No, it processes images synchronously during model save. For async handling, you'd need to implement custom logic or use Laravel queues outside the package, which isn't built-in.

Question 5

How to upload files to Amazon S3 with Laravel ImageUp?

Accepted Answer

Set the 'disk' option in the field configuration to an S3 disk defined in Laravel's filesystem config. Ensure the disk is properly configured in config/filesystems.php with AWS credentials.

Question 6

Can I handle multiple image uploads in one go with Laravel ImageUp?

Accepted Answer

No, the package is designed for single file uploads per field. For multiple images, you need to handle them manually, such as by looping through an array and using the uploadImage method for each file.
