A simple Laravel 5 service provider for making it easier to include the official AWS SDK for PHP into your Laravel application.

(Looking for the Laravel 4 service provider? It's still available in the 1.0 branch.)

The AWS Service Provider can be installed via Composer by requiring the aws/aws-sdk-php-laravel package in your project's composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "aws/aws-sdk-php-laravel": "~2.0"
    }
}

Then run a composer update

php composer.phar update

To use the AWS Service Provider, you must register the provider when bootstrapping your Laravel application.

Find the providers key in your config/app.php and register the AWS Service Provider.

    'providers' => array(
        // ...
        'Aws\Laravel\AwsServiceProvider',
    )

Find the aliases key in your config/app.php and add the AWS facade alias.

    'aliases' => array(
        // ...
        'AWS' => 'Aws\Laravel\AwsFacade',
    )

By default, the package uses the following environment variables to auto-configure the plugin without modification:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
AWS_REGION              // default = us-east-1
AWS_CONFIG_FILE         // default = null

To customize the configuration file, publish the package configuration using Artisan.

php artisan vendor:publish

Update your settings in the generated app/config/aws.php configuration file.

return [
    'key'         => 'YOUR_AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID',
    'secret'      => 'YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY',
    'region'      => 'us-east-1',
    'config_file' => null,
];

In order to use the AWS SDK for PHP within your app, you need to retrieve it from the Laravel IoC Container. The following example uses the Amazon S3 client to upload a file.

$s3 = App::make('aws')->get('s3');
$s3->putObject(array(
    'Bucket'     => 'YOUR_BUCKET',
    'Key'        => 'YOUR_OBJECT_KEY',
    'SourceFile' => '/the/path/to/the/file/you/are/uploading.ext',
));

If the AWS facade is registered within the aliases section of the application configuration, you can also use the following technique.

$s3 = AWS::get('s3');
$s3->putObject(array(
    'Bucket'     => 'YOUR_BUCKET',
    'Key'        => 'YOUR_OBJECT_KEY',
    'SourceFile' => '/the/path/to/the/file/you/are/uploading.ext',
));
