I am using S3 to upload and download files. The files needs to be private; they cant be public.
The below code actually works, but I was wondering whats the correct/better way to do the download?
# the upload codes looks something like this....
$file = request()->file('file_name');
$file_name = \Str::random(9) . $file->getClientOriginalName() );
$path = 'secure/files/' ;
\Storage::disk('s3')->put( $path.$file_name , file_get_contents($file) ); //, 'public'
//Save file in in the DB
and the download codes looks like this
<?php
namespace App\Helpers;
class S3
{
public function download()
{
request()->validate([
'filename' =>'required',
'path' =>'required',
]);
$path = request()->path;
$filename = request()->filename;
$file = \Storage::disk('s3')->get($path.$filename);
$headers = [
'Content-Type' => 'text/csv',
'Content-Description' => 'File Transfer',
'Content-Disposition' => "attachment; filename={$filename}",
'filename'=> '{$filename}'
];
return response( $file, 200, $headers );
}
}
Download route looks like this
Route::get('/download', '\App\Helpers\S3@download')->middleware('auth');
and use it like this
<a href="{{ url("download?filename={$file->name}&path={$file->path}") }}" > Open </a>
If you simply open the path_link on your browser, can you view the file? If yes, then your s3 is public.
If you have proper configurations set on AWS IAM, then only the project with your AWS KEY_ID and SECRET will be authorized to view and download the file.
currently you cant open it with just the url. You need to use the download route to do so. But i am not happy with the code. I am hopping there is better way to do it.
Hi i think you can use temporaryUrl() since you work with S3
tried this and it worked
public function download()
{
request()->validate([
'filename' =>'required',
'path' =>'required',
]);
$path = request()->path;
$filename = request()->filename;
return \Storage::disk('s3')->download($path.$filename);
}
