Laravel Medianova CDN Integration

Laravel Medianova CDN integration is done by creating a helper function that rewrites URLs.

We have prepared the following steps for Laravel CDN integration.

Before Laravel CDN integration, create a “New Resource” for your Small and Large objects or your Aksela account at https://cloud.medianova.com .
Create the ./App/helpers.php file and update the ./composer.json .

CODE

...
"autoload": {
    "classmap": [
      ...
     ],
     ...
     "files": [
         "app/helpers.php"
     ]
},
...

Run the composer dump-autoload command from the terminal in the directory where your project is located.
Add the following code to your./app/helpers.php file. If the CDN URLs are not defined in the ./Config/app.php config file, the standard asset () function is called.

CODE

<?php
// global CDN function
function cdn( $file ){
    // Verify if Medianova CDN URLs are present in the config file
    if( !Config::get('app.cdn') )
        return asset( $file );
    // Get file name incl extension and CDN URLs
    $cdns = Config::get('app.cdn');
    $fileName = basename( $file );
    // Remove query string
    $fileName = explode("?", $fileName);
    $fileName = $fileName[0];
    // Select the CDN URL based on the extension
    foreach( $cdns as $cdn => $types ) {
        if( preg_match('/^.*\.(' . $types . ')$/i', $fileName) )
            return cdnUrl($cdn, $file);
    }
    // In case of no match use the last in the array
    end($cdns);
    return cdnUrl( key( $cdns ) , $file);
}
function cdnUrl($cdn, $file) {
    return  "//" . rtrim($cdn, "/") . "/" . ltrim( $file, "/");
}
?>

Define the CDN URLs in the ./config/app.php file.

CODE

'cdn' => array(
        "your-cdn-url.com" => "css|js|eot|woff|ttf|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg"
    ),

Example:

CODE

<?php
return [
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Application MnCDN domains
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | Specify different domains for your assets.
    |
    */
'cdn' => array(
        "your-cdn-url.com" => "css|js|eot|woff|ttf|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|svg"
    ),

The global use of the helper function is as follows.

CODE

<img src="{{ cdn( "//img-docsmedianova.mncdn.com/img/medianovaCDN.png" ) }}" alt="Loaded from Medianova CDN" />

Verify the HTML source code if your assets are loading from Medianova CDN.
