Generate download links in your Laravel applications

This package allows you to generate download links for files.

Once installed you can do stuff like this:

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->generate();
// zkTu70fieUFZLGMoEP95l1RQfFj5zCOqHlM0XBTnc6ZaZTtm4GY5xPXGGLzLEAVe

The default download route in the config file is "download", so if your domain is "example.com", then you should use this link:

example.com/download/{link}

// For example
example.com/download/zkTu70fieUFZLGMoEP95l1RQfFj5zCOqHlM0XBTnc6ZaZTtm4GY5xPXGGLzLEAVe

Note: You should replace {link} with the generated link.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require armancodes/laravel-download-link

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Armancodes\DownloadLink\DownloadLinkServiceProvider" --tag="migrations"

php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Armancodes\DownloadLink\DownloadLinkServiceProvider" --tag="config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Download Route
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Download route will be added to your app URL for using download links.
    | E.g. if your app URL is "example.com", then if your set the download route to
    | "download" it will be "example.com/download/{link}".
    |
    */
    'download_route' => 'download',
];

Usage

You can explicitly set the file name to be saved and downloaded with the given name:

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->fileName('new-text.txt')->generate();

Expire time can also be added, so that the link will only be available before it expires:

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->expire(now()->addDay())->generate();

You can also specify if only authenticated users or guests should be able to use the link:

// Authenticated users only
$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->auth()->generate();

// Guests only
$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->guest()->generate();

You may put one or more ip addresses into a blacklist (Download links won't work with those ip addresses):

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->limitIp('127.0.0.1')->generate();

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->limitIp(['127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.2', '127.0.0.3'])->generate();

Or you may put one or more ip addresses into whitelist (Download links will ONLY work with those ip addresses):

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->allowIp('127.0.0.1')->generate();

$link = DownloadLink::disk('public')->filePath('uploads/test.txt')->allowIp(['127.0.0.1', '127.0.0.2', '127.0.0.3'])->generate();

The default download route in the config file is "download", so if your domain is "example.com", then you should use this link to download:

example.com/download/{link}

// For example
example.com/download/zkTu70fieUFZLGMoEP95l1RQfFj5zCOqHlM0XBTnc6ZaZTtm4GY5xPXGGLzLEAVe

Note: You should replace {link} with the generated link.

You can delete a link like this:

DownloadLink::delete('link');

// For example
DownloadLink::delete('zkTu70fieUFZLGMoEP95l1RQfFj5zCOqHlM0XBTnc6ZaZTtm4GY5xPXGGLzLEAVe');

You may delete the expired links in the database using the command below:

php artisan download-links:remove-expired
