This package will delete old files from directories. You can use a configuration file to specify the maximum age of a file in a certain directory.
We invest a lot of resources into creating best in class open source packages. You can support us by buying one of our paid products.
We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on our contact page. We publish all received postcards on our virtual postcard wall.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require spatie/laravel-directory-cleanupIn Laravel 5.5 the service provider will automatically get registered. In older versions of the framework just add the service provider in config/app.php file:
'providers' => [
...
Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\DirectoryCleanupServiceProvider::class,
];Next, you must publish the config file:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\DirectoryCleanupServiceProvider"This is the content of the published config file laravel-directory-cleanup
return [
'directories' => [
/*
* Here you can specify which directories need to be cleanup. All files older than
* the specified amount of minutes will be deleted.
*/
/*
'path/to/a/directory' => [
'deleteAllOlderThanMinutes' => 60 * 24,
],
*/
],
/*
* If a file is older than the amount of minutes specified, a cleanup policy will decide if that file
* should be deleted. By default every file that is older than the specified amount of minutes
* will be deleted.
*
* You can customize this behaviour by writing your own clean up policy. A valid policy
* is any class that implements `Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\Policies\CleanupPolicy`.
*/
'cleanup_policy' => \Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\Policies\DeleteEverything::class,
];
Specify the directories that need cleaning in the config file.
When running the console command clean:directories all files in the specified directories older than deleteAllOlderThanMinutes will be deleted. Empty subdirectories will also be deleted.
This command can be scheduled in Laravel's console kernel.
// app/Console/Kernel.php
protected function schedule(Schedule $schedule)
{
$schedule->command('clean:directories')->daily();
}If you want to apply additional conditional logic before a file is deleted, you can replace the default cleanup_policy with a custom one.
Create a class which implements Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\Policies\CleanupPolicy and add your logic to the shouldDelete method.
// app/CleanupPolicies/MyPolicy.php
namespace App\CleanupPolicies;
use Symfony\Component\Finder\SplFileInfo;
use Spatie\DirectoryCleanup\Policies\CleanupPolicy;
class MyPolicy implements CleanupPolicy
{
public function shouldDelete(SplFileInfo $file) : bool
{
$filesToKeep = ['robots.txt'];
return ! in_array($file->getFilename(), $filesToKeep);
}
