Another way, and it could quite possibly be really bad advice, is to use Events. As a last ditch effort to kind of duct tape it together, you could make an event and in your non-plugin model/controller have it fire an event to check if everything saved properly. That may be over engineering something, and like I said, could quite possibly be really bad advice. Take it for what its worth. |

Yeah, you can. There are a thousand ways to skin this cat. There isn’t a right or wrong way, except ways that just don’t work. But with the plugins, I’m not sure if you can attach behaviors to models in plugins. I could be wrong though, i’ve never done it. |

Can we do it in a behavior |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:26 |
amit |
One more point is I have models in a plugin too |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:25 |
amit |
Exactly |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:25 |
spencdev |
Yeap. What you don’t want is database entries without the file existing in the object storage. That just creates confusion for everyone. |

Especially with a remote data store |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:23 |

Also consider write failure |
| # |

Depends on how YOU want to do it. I do mine beforeSave, I want to make sure the upload was successful before submitting the db entry because I do validation on the filename before marshaling. That a little outside of what CakePHP does/used for. You could do it the other way, save into the database and afterSave upload the image. If the image doesn’t upload, roll back. I think that’s how that would work. |

Yes |

Feb 8th 2018, 16:20 |

As part of patchEntity or newEntity |

Any idea how validation is handled before image upload |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:19 |

BUt the problem is with the validations |

I have created a plugin to store the image on ObjectStore, and I will include it where I need to upload images |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:18 |

Yeah, I remember reading that you can do image resizing with AWS using S3, Lambda, and API gateway. If I remember right it’s a lot of work. Of course that doesn’t do the compression and focal points though |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:13 |
neon1024 |
So makes sense for our use-case |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:13 |
neon1024 |
It’s for our API, so we don’t need to serve out all the various sizes to our client websites via our api and from our api server |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:11 |
spencdev |
It’s kind of pricey, but I can imagine the time this would save on a lot of use cases |

My boss sure likes it |

that is actually really freaking awesome |

whoa |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:06 |
spencdev |
I’ve never heard of it, looking it up now |

Thankfully with Imgix we just need a single source image and Imgix will create any requested variants on the fly |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:05 |
neon1024 |
Yes, we’ll be using a similar system as I understand it. |

The downside of that is, if I ever have to manually look for a file in S3 with out access to the database to see the associated filename, I’m kind of out of luck considering there are 17gb of files saved... |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 16:03 |
spencdev |
The user doesn’t interact with anything saving except for the files name, which if I remember right (i’m on my phone), it verifies the name is acceptable before ever even trying to save. For S3, the name is tokenized. The name of the file actually doesn’t have anything to do with where/what it’s being saved as. I think I got the idea from one of the upload plugins. |

Wont you end up with images in storage you’re not using though? |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:58 |
spencdev |
Don’t get me wrong, I used AWS sdk, but the class interacts with it instead of the models. The models use the class. I do it the other way around though, I make sure the image saves to S3 before saving to the db. |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:57 |
spencdev |
I wrote my own class for S3 uploads because a lot of models interact with S3 and straight into the model just looks awful. |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:56 |
neon1024 |
I’m yet to start with S3, but it’s on my list of things to do. As we want to implement Imgix as well |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:56 |
neon1024 |
But either way :slightly_smiling_face: |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:56 |
neon1024 |
Well I bet you could easily wrap that in a Writer class |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:55 |

And I am using there lib to upload file |

@neon I am uploading a file on VPS ObjectStore, which is similar like AWS S3 |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:54 |
spencdev |
S3 saves lives |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:53 |
neon1024 |
Unless you’re working on the VPS and saving locally |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:52 |
neon1024 |
So you probably want to use the Friendsofcake/Upload plugin and create your own writer class |
| # |
Feb 8th 2018, 15:52 |

I am uploading the file on Opencloud's VPS |

As an author of one of those upload plugins I’d recommend that :P |
