Consuming events

The media library will fire the following events that your handlers can listen for:

MediaHasBeenAddedEvent

This event is fired after a file has been saved to disk.

The event has a property media that holds the \Spatie\MediaLibrary\Models\Media-object of which the file has been stored.

ConversionWillStartEvent

This event is fired right before a conversion will start.

The event has two public properties:

• media: the \Spatie\MediaLibrary\Models\Media-object of which a conversion will be started
• conversion: the conversion (an instance of \Spatie\MediaLibrary\Conversion\Conversion) that will start

ConversionHasBeenCompletedEvent

This event is fired when a conversion has been completed.

The event has two public properties:

• media: the \Spatie\MediaLibrary\Models\Media-object of which a conversion has been completed
• conversion: the conversion (an instance of \Spatie\MediaLibrary\Conversion\Conversion) that has just been completed

CollectionHasBeenClearedEvent

This event will be fired after a collection has been cleared.

The event has two public properties:

• model: the object that conforms to \Spatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia\Interfaces\HasMedia of which a collection has just been cleared.
• collectionName: the name of the collection that has just been cleared

Sample usage

First you must create a listener class. Here's one that will log the paths of added media.

namespace App\Listeners;

use Log;
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Events\MediaHasBeenAddedEvent;

class MediaLogger
{
    public function handle(MediaHasBeenAddedEvent $event)
    {
        $media = $event->media;
        $path = $media->getPath();
        Log::info("file {$path} has been saved for media {$media->id}");
    }
}

Hook it up in app/Providers/EventServiceProvider.php to let Laravel know that your handler should be called when the event is fired:

protected $listen = [
    Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaCollections\Events\MediaHasBeenAddedEvent::class => [
        App\Listeners\MediaLogger::class
    ],
];
