Various useful features and functions

HasStorage Trait

• if a model has links to files in storage, this trait will ensure those files are removed when they are de-linked from the model.
• works with Soft Deletes.
• On update, removed any files no longer linked to the model.
• On delete, removes all linked files.

    use HasStorage;

    protected $storage = [
        'image',
        'banner',
        'content' => 'image',
        'content' => 'image,file',
        'content' => ['image', 'file'],
    ];
