Laravel Media Library

Imagine you’re working on your Laravel website, dealing with files can be a bit of a headache. But then you discover the Laravel Media Library package, and suddenly, managing files becomes super easy.

Here’s the cool part: instead of just treating files like random attachments, you can actually think of them as proper Models in your code. That means they have a special place and purpose.

So, what’s the benefit? Well, normally when you upload a file, it’s tied to a specific part of your website, like adding a profile picture during sign-up or attaching a document to a form. With the Media Library package, you can do all this without the hassle of managing each file in your database manually. The package takes care of that by setting up the right structure for you.

In simple terms, the Laravel Media Library package makes handling files in your Laravel app way easier and organized. It’s like having a neat filing system for all your digital stuff!

Laravel Backup

Here’s how it works: the package creates a backup of your entire application, bundling everything into a handy zip file. This zip file includes all the files from the directories you specify, alongside a database dump for good measure.
