Laravel league/flysystem getting file URL with AWS S3

Question

I am trying to build a file management system in Laravel based on league/flysystem: https://github.com/thephpleague/flysystem

I am using the S3 adapter and I have it working to save the uploaded files using:

$filesystem->write('filename.txt', 'contents');

Now I am stuck on generating the download file URL when using the S3 adapter.

The files are saved correctly in the S3 bucket, I have permissions to access them, I just don't know how to get to the S3 getObjectUrl method through the league/flysystem package.

I have tried:

$contents = $filesystem->read('filename.txt');

but that returns the content of the file.

$contents = $filemanager->listContents();

or

$paths = $filemanager->listPaths();

but they give me the relative paths to my files.

What I need is something like "ht...//[s3-region].amazonaws.com/[bucket]/[dir]/[file]..."

Answer 1

I am using Laravel 5.2 and the code below seemed to work fine.

Storage::cloud()->url('filename');

Answer 2

I'm not sure what the correct way of doing this is with Flysystem, but the underlying S3Client object has a method for doing that. You could do $filesystem->getAdapter()->getClient()->getObjectUrl($bucket, $key);. Of course, building the URL is as trivial as you described, so you don't really need a special method to do it.
