Laravel

Intervention Image can be easily integrated into a Laravel application with the official integration package. This package provides a Laravel service provider, facade and a publishable configuration file.

Although this integration is not mandatory, it has the advantage of integrating the configuration centrally in the application.

Integration

Instead of installing the Intervention Image directly, it is only necessary to integrate the intervention/image-laravel package. The corresponding base libraries are automatically installed as well.

$ composer require intervention/image-laravel

Next, add the configuration files to your application using the vendor:publish command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Intervention\Image\Laravel\ServiceProvider"

This command will publish the configuration file image.php to your app/config directory. In this file you can set the desired driver for Intervention Image. By default the library is configured to use GD library for image processing.

The integration is now complete and it is possible to access the ImageManager via Laravel's facade.

use Intervention\Image\Laravel\Facades\Image;

Route::get('/', function () {
    $image = Image::read('images/example.jpg');
});

Symfony

Intervention Image can also be integrated into the Symfony framework. A convenient way is to use the official integration bundle.

Although the use of this integration library is not absolutely mandatory, it offers a convenient way of central configuration in the Symfony framework.

Integration

Instead of installing the Intervention Image directly, it is only necessary to require the bundle package intervention/image-symfony. The corresponding dependencies are automatically installed as well

$ composer require intervention/image-symfony

After the successful installation, you can activate the bundle in the file config/bundes.php of your Symfony application by inserting the following line into the array.

return [
    // ...
    Intervention\Image\Symfony\InterventionImageBundle::class => ['all' => true],
];

Now you can configure the driver of Intervention Image. By default, the bundle is using the GD library with Intervention Image. This can be easily configured by creating a file config/packages/intervention_image.yaml and setting the driver class as follows.

intervention_image:
  driver: Intervention\Image\Drivers\Imagick\Driver

You can choose between the two supplied drivers Intervention\Image\Drivers\Gd\Driver and Intervention\Image\Drivers\Imagick\Driver for example.

The integration is now complete and it is possible to access the ImageManager via dependency injection. For example:

namespace App\Controller;

use Intervention\Image\ImageManager;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;
use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;

class ExampleController extends AbstractController
{
    #[Route('/')]
    public function example(ImageManager $manager): Response
    {
        $image = $manager->read('images/example.jpg');
    }
}
