How to make use of the hooks to optimise images. about laravel-paperclip HOT 4 CLOSED

Hmm. There are two ways you can do this:

1. The $model->{attachment}->url() method should give you the public URL, which you can 'translate' into a local path if your storage solution is consistent. I don't think there is a clean, direct way of getting an 'internal' URL through Paperclip (especially since storage need not be local in any case).
   Since the default URL is that of the original file, you should be able to modify that, write it back. This would not affect other variants, of course -- and I'm not sure whether that's what you're asking for..

2. You can make your own variant, and call it 'optimized' f.i. You can write your own variant strategy and make that use the Spatie image optimizer. This is the cleanest approach I can think of and has the added benefit of keeping a non-optimized version of the image.

But maybe I'm misreading your issue, so please let me know what you think, or why your use-case would not be served by the above approaches.

Thanks for the insight :)

2 Definitely sounds like the best solution. Would you be open to a PR for an image optimiser strategy as part of FileHandling, or is that outside of its scope?

I would definitely be open to it -- welcome it, in fact.

Do keep in mind that the czim/file-handling package is framework-agnostic. I don't think it's a problem to include framework-specific strategies, as long as the package itself doesn't require the framework because of it.

I've just added a PR to file-handling that is framework agnostic.
