Message:

In laravel we can use storage Facade in order to save and read files, but in lumen 7.0 there is no filesystem config available at start.

what I did so far:

1. composer require league/flysystem


2. in composer.json file, I added the following in autoload section:

"files": [

  "app/helpers.php"

],

1. then in app directory, I've created helpers.php and added the following into it:

if (! function_exists('public_path')) {

    /**

     * Get the path to the public folder.

     *

     * @param  string  $path

     * @return string

     */

    function public_path($path = '')

    {

        return app()->make('path.public').($path ? DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.ltrim($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR) : $path);

    }

}



if (! function_exists('storage_path')) {

    /**

     * Get the path to the storage folder.

     *

     * @param  string  $path

     * @return string

     */

    function storage_path($path = '')

    {

        return app('path.storage').($path ? DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$path : $path);

    }

}

1. I created config directory and I copied the filesystems.php from laravel in it


2. then in order to register the configuration I added the following to bootstrap/app.php:

$app->singleton('filesystem', function ($app) {

    return $app->loadComponent('filesystems', 'Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemServiceProvider', 'filesystem');

});

$app->instance('path.config', app()->basePath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'config');

$app->instance('path.storage', app()->basePath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'storage');

$app->instance('path.public', app()->basePath() . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'public');

After doing all changes that I made to lumen, when I try to use Storage Facade for example:

Storage::file($dir);

it will throw an error that says:

Class 'League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local' not found

What is wrong with my configuration?

My Answer:
> You can configure storage in Lumen 7.0 by following these steps:

1. Install the league/flysystem package by running the following command:

composer require league/flysystem


2. Create a new service provider by running the following command:

php artisan make:provider StorageServiceProvider


3. Open the newly created StorageServiceProvider.php file in the app/Providers directory and add the following code to register the storage service:
php
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Local;

class StorageServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
public function register()
{
$this->app->singleton('filesystem', function ($app) {
return new Filesystem(new Local(storage_path()));
});
}
}


4. Register the newly created service provider in the bootstrap/app.php file:
php
$app->register(App\Providers\StorageServiceProvider::class);


5. You can now use the storage service in your application by injecting it into your controllers or classes:
php
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;

class ExampleController extends Controller
{
protected $filesystem;

public function __construct(Filesystem $filesystem)
{
$this->filesystem = $filesystem;
}

public function storeFile()
{
$this->filesystem->write('example.txt', 'Hello, World!');
}

public function readFile()
{
$contents = $this->filesystem->read('example.txt');
return $contents;
}
}


By following these steps, you can configure storage in Lumen 7.0 using the league/flysystem package.
