Add key prefix as a configuation option

[bubenkoff]

It's not uncommon to have single s3 bucket for multiple applications, connected to a single cloudfront domain, separated just by a key prefix, example:

static.example.com/app1/assets...
static.example.com/app2/assets...

ATM there's no easy way to implement this with this very nice package thanks!

@bubenkoff thanks for raising that point. Can you please suggest a suitable solution? I haven't faced that issue before so any details you can share are much appreciated!

I'm actually facing the same sort of problem on an S3/CloudFront environment as described by @bubenkoff , where I have just one bucket, hosting multiple apps' assets. At the moment I use just one app on the CDN, so I'm good having a public folder on the bucket's root directory, but this could potentially display the package issue if I decide to use the package on the other apps since, in a Laravel environment, you most likely always push content from the public directory, potentially overwriting every apps assets. A possible solution could be having a config variable in config/cdn.php containing the additional folder/path (defaulting to an empty string) e.g. 'app-folder' => '',, which will then get pushed to the AwsS3Provider'sdefault array. Then, considering the way you upload the assets (get all local's, compare with server's, remove the not modified from the array), and you are using the AWS PHP SDK putObject method, where the "destination" path is held in the Key key, we will need to prefix the Key key wth app-folder if the string is not empty and the file is brand new (not available on server). Considering this there will most likely be a bit of refactoring in the AwsS3Provider's upload and getFilesAlreadyOnBucket methods as follows:

1. In the getFilesAlreadyOnBucket method add a line after 401: $item->IsModified = true; this way we know if the file has actually been modified instead of just created locally;
2. In the upload method change line 207 to: 'Key' => ($this->default['providers']['aws']['s3']['app-folder'] !== '' && $file->IsModified !== null ? str_replace('\\', '/', $this->default['providers']['aws']['s3']['app-folder'].'/'.$file->getPathName()), : str_replace('\\', '/', $file->getPathName()). This way we'll add app-folder as a prefix to the the actual local app path, so the file gets uploaded where we want. You might not want to expose the variable itself though, and access it from a getter e.g. getAppFolder, so you could apply string transformation on it, as necessary (trim('/') off the top of my head).

I fear though that these edits could "break stuff" (very technical term), as you are most likely not allowed to add a custom key to $item at point 1, but is roughly my idea.

Apolgies if I've written something outrageous or haven't formatted the answer properly, but I'm very inexperienced with GitHub's issue tracker. What do you think?

@thtg88 Thanks for the details. I'm just afraid that would require too much config in the simple case where you only have one bucket per app. I always lean towards simplicity when it comes to config.

I was thinking whether Bucket in config can be bucket-name/app1, that should work IMO. Can you please give it a try?

@Mulkave Forgot to mention I tried that, unfortunately it throws an exception as the forward-slash '/' character gets urlencoded. I'm not at my PC right now but I can provide the Exception details if needed. thanks for your reply anyway

[Mulkave]

@thtg88 sure some more details on the exception would help. I'm also not able to try that atm.

Hi @Mulkave , apologies for the delay. You can find the exception message below:

@Mulkave, Very actual problem! Maybe I propose PR for this?

[linchpinstudios]

I'm currently running into this issue. It would be good to have this feature available. The main reason is we have different branches being staged that need different CDN assets.
