A powerful Filament PHP form component that enables seamless image uploads from URLs. Features include image validation, preview functionality, and easy integration with Laravel storage. Perfect for remote image imports, content management, and e-commerce applications built with FilamentPHP.

#Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require amjadiqbal/filament-url-image-uploader

#Usage

use AmjadIqbal\FilamentUrlImageUploader\Components\UrlImageUploader;

UrlImageUploader::make('image')->directory('images');

The field renders two tabs — upload a file directly, or paste an image URL and fetch it server-side. Either way, the value saved to your model attribute is always a plain storage path string (e.g. "images/example.jpg"), never an array — no accessor/mutator gymnastics required on your model:

// database column: image (string, nullable)

class Post extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['image'];
}

To render the stored image elsewhere in your app, resolve it through the disk you configured:

Storage::disk('public')->url($post->image);

#Configuration

#Directory

You can customize the storage directory:

UrlImageUploader::make('image')->directory('custom/path/here');

#Disk

By default, files are stored on the public disk. You can target any configured disk:

UrlImageUploader::make('image')->disk('s3');

#Preserve original filenames

UrlImageUploader::make('image')->preserveFilenames();

#URL fetch size limit

The "URL Upload" tab downloads the remote image server-side before validating its content type. By default, downloads larger than 10 MB are rejected; adjust it with:

UrlImageUploader::make('image')->maxUrlFetchSize(5 * 1024 * 1024); // 5 MB

#Scope

UrlImageUploader manages a single image per field. It does not currently support Filament's multiple() mode — for a gallery of several images, use one UrlImageUploader per image, or a Repeater of them.

#Using it in a Repeater (image gallery)

use Filament\Forms\Components\Repeater;

Repeater::make('gallery')
    ->schema([
        UrlImageUploader::make('image')->directory('gallery'),
    ])
    ->reorderable()
    ->addable()
    ->deletable();

Each row gets its own instance of the field, so adding, deleting, and reordering rows keeps every image with its own row — covered by a dedicated Testbench/Livewire suite (tests/Feature/RepeaterGalleryTest.php) exercising fresh multi-image upload, a no-op edit-and-save across separate page loads, deleting a middle row, reordering, adding a row to an existing gallery, and deleting-then-adding (to catch a resurrected "deleted" image).

Gotcha: while a row is being edited, its live state is the field's internal {path, url} shape, not the flat string your model attribute ends up with — that flat string only exists after dehydration. If you add an itemLabel() (or a header) that reads the row's image value directly, e.g. fn (array $state) => $state['image'], it will receive that nested array while the form is open and throw a type error the moment you type-hint a string return. Read $state['image']['path'] ?? null (an array) if you need a label from it, or avoid keying the label off this field at all.

#Translations

All user-facing strings ship in English by default. Publish them to customize or translate:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-url-image-uploader-translations"

#Testing

composer test      # PHPUnit, via Orchestra Testbench
composer analyse    # Larastan/PHPStan (level 5)
composer format     # Laravel Pint
