# Installation

# Install composer package

composer require stechstudio/laravel-storage-connect

# Add service provider

If you are using a version of Laravel earlier than 5.5, you will need to manually add the service provider and facade to your config/app.php file:

'providers' => [
    ...
    STS\StorageConnect\StorageConnectServiceProvider::class,
]
'aliases' => [
    ...
    'StorageConnect' => STS\StorageConnect\StorageConnectFacade::class,
]

# Run migrations

This package creates a new database table for cloud_storages. You will need to run migrations to set this up.

php artisan migrate

# Configure storage providers

Currently Dropbox and Google Drive are the supported cloud storage backends.

To use either (or both) you need to ensure your config/services.php file is setup properly:

'dropbox' => [
    'client_id' => env('DROPBOX_KEY'),
    'client_secret' => env('DROPBOX_SECRET'),
],
'google' => [
    'client_id' => env ('GOOGLE_ID'),
    'client_secret' => env ('GOOGLE_SECRET')
],

# Add Eloquent model trait

Now go edit the Eloquent model where you want to manage the cloud storage connections. Typically this would be your User model, but it might instead be an Organization or perhaps Account, etc.

Add the ConnectsToCloudStorage trait to any Eloquent model, for example:

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use STS\StorageConnect\Traits\ConnectsToCloudStorage;

class User extends Model {
    use ConnectsToCloudStorage;
    
    ...

You are now ready to setup cloud storage connections through the relationship provided on your model. The trait sets up relationships for each supported cloud storage provider, namely dropbox and google.
