Gallery Loader

Laravel facade that gets images from a folder sorted by filename and filtered.

This is just a simple wrapper for functionality that I use across many projects.

It enables you to easily grabs images from a folder and create a image gallery.

Installation

From project root type:

composer require mabasic/gallery-loader

or in composer.json add following to require:

"require": {
    "mabasic/gallery-loader": "~1.0"
}

Register Service provider in app.php:

'providers' => [
    ...
    Mabasic\GalleryLoader\GalleryLoaderServiceProvider::class
];

Register Facade in app.php:

'aliases' => [
    ...
    'GalleryLoader' => Mabasic\GalleryLoader\Facades\GalleryLoader::class
];

Usage

Get all images from a folder

GalleryLoader::getImages(public_path() . '/img/slideshow')

Get all images except images that contain these words

GalleryLoader::getImages(public_path() . '/img/slideshow', ['thumb', 'small', 'thumbnail'])
