Laravel integration

If your application uses the Laravel framework, you can use the LaravelResponseFactory. Since Laravel uses HttpFoundation under the hood, this adapter actually extends the Symfony adapter.

Installation

composer require league/glide-laravel

Configuration

<?php

use League\Glide\ServerFactory;
use League\Glide\Responses\LaravelResponseFactory;

$server = ServerFactory::create([
    'response' => new LaravelResponseFactory(app('request'))
]);

Working example

Here is a fully functioning example of how to get Glide up and running with Laravel really quick. First, create a new entry in your routes file:

<?php

Route::get('/img/{path}', 'ImageController@show')->where('path', '.*');

Next, create a controller that will serve all your Glide images. This will use the default Laravel storage path (/storage/app) for the source images.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Filesystem;
use League\Glide\Responses\LaravelResponseFactory;
use League\Glide\ServerFactory;

class ImageController extends Controller
{
    public function show(Filesystem $filesystem, $path)
    {
        $server = ServerFactory::create([
            'response' => new LaravelResponseFactory(app('request')),
            'source' => $filesystem->getDriver(),
            'cache' => $filesystem->getDriver(),
            'cache_path_prefix' => '.cache',
            'base_url' => 'img',
        ]);

        return $server->getImageResponse($path, request()->all());
    }
}
