Asset Container Repository

To work with the with AssetContainer Repository, use the following Facade:

use Statamic\Facades\AssetContainer;

Methods

Querying

While the AssetContainer Repository does not have a Query Builder, you can still query for Assets inside AssetContainers with the queryAssets method. This approach can be useful for retrieving Assets with an existing AssetContainer object.

$videos = AssetContainer::find('videos');
 
$videos->queryAssets()
    ->where('series', 'stranger-things')
    ->get();

When an asset container can't be found, the AssetContainer::find() method will return null. If you'd prefer an exception be thrown, you may use the findOrFail method:

AssetContainer::findOrFail('videos');

Creating

Start by making an instance of an asset container with the make method. You can pass the handle into it.

$container = AssetContainer::make('assets');

You may call additional methods on the container to customize it further.

$container
  ->title('Assets')
  ->allowDownloading(true)
  ->allowMoving(true)
  ->allowRenaming(true)
  ->allowUploads(true)
  ->createFolders(true)
  ->searchIndex('assets');

Finally, save it.

$container->save();
