FilePond Plugin Options0:00
Okay, I think that about wraps up this series. Over the last few videos, you've learned how to successfully upload, process, and store images using Vue and Laravel. We conquered things like type validation for files getting uploaded, and have built a basic gallery with Vue to showcase what's been stored in our simple application. So where can we go from here? If you decide to stick with FilePond, which is what we've been using for our File Uploader library here, it offers a breadth of plugins that you can use to extend it. On their documentation page, if we go to this Plugins section here, we could give our users the ability to preview images as they're being uploaded.
Model-Based Media Library0:38
On their documentation page, if we go to this Plugins section here, we could give our users the ability to preview images as they're being uploaded. Or we can let them crop and adjust them before sending them to the backend to get ingested. Speaking of backend, on the Laravel side we could use something like this, Intervention Image, which will allow us to manipulate the images being uploaded before storing them. Or if your users are attaching images to specific models like blog posts or ecommerce products, Spatie's Media Library package makes that a breeze. There's lots of different ways to improve and expand on what we've built here. And if you have any questions or suggestions, please let me know in the comments.
