How to upload media through URL in Shopware6

Overview

In this article we learn about how to upload media through URL in Shopware6.

Media Upload Method

Collect the Media URL in an array and create a media repository. We need to add to services FileFetcher and FileSaver , if you are in custom service then also register   ContinerInterface.

We recommended the following  processor

<?php

namespace Webkul\BulkUpload\Services;

use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Shopware\Core\Content\Media\File\FileFetcher;
use Shopware\Core\Content\Media\File\FileSaver;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\Context;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Search\Criteria;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\DataAbstractionLayer\Search\Filter\EqualsFilter;
use Shopware\Core\Framework\Uuid\Uuid;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;

class BulkUploadHelper 
{
    private $container;
    protected $fileFetcher;
    protected $fileSaver;

    public function __construct(
        ContainerInterface $container,
        FileFetcher $fileFetcher,
        FileSaver $fileSaver
    )
    {
        $this->container = $container;
        $this->fileFetcher = $fileFetcher;
        $this->fileSaver = $fileSaver;
    }

    public function uploadBulkImages($urlCollection, $salesChannelContext){
        $context = Context::createDefaultContext();
        $mediaRepository = $this->container->get('media.repository');
        $mediaIds = [];
        foreach($urlCollection as $url) {
            $ext = pathinfo($url, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
            $fileName = basename($url, $ext);
            
            $request = new Request(['extension' => $ext], ['url' => $url]);
            $tempFile = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), '');
            $file = $this->fileFetcher->fetchFileFromURL($request, $tempFile);
            $explodedFileName = explode('.', $fileName);
            unset($explodedFileName[count($explodedFileName) - 1]);
            $fileName = $salesChannelContext->getCustomer()->getId() . '_' . implode('.', $explodedFileName);
            $searchMedia = $mediaRepository->search((new Criteria())->addFilter(new EqualsFilter('fileName', $fileName)),$context)->first();
            if(!$searchMedia){
           
                $mediaId = Uuid::randomHex();
                $media = [
                    [
                        'id' => $mediaId,
                        'fileSize' => $file->getFileSize(),
                        'fileName' => $fileName,
                        'mimeType' => $file->getMimeType(),
                        'fileExtension' => $ext,
                    ]
                ];

                $mediaId = $mediaRepository->create($media, Context::createDefaultContext())
                    ->getEvents()
                    ->getElements()[1]
                    ->getIds()[0];
                if (is_array($mediaId)) {
                    $mediaId = $mediaId['mediaId'];
                }
            
                try {
                    $this->upload($file, $fileName, $mediaId);
                } catch (\Exception $exception) {
                    $fileName = $fileName . $mediaId;
                    $this->upload($file, $fileName, $mediaId);
                }
                array_push($mediaIds, [
                    'id' => $mediaId,
                    'title' => $fileName
                ]);
            }

        }
        return $mediaIds;
    }
    public function upload($file, $fileName, $mediaId)
    {   
        $this->fileSaver->persistFileToMedia(
            $file, 
            $fileName,
            $mediaId,
            Context::createDefaultContext()
        );
    }

}

In the above code we create a service for image upload, first of all we need to register our service into seervice.xml file for access globally. then pass argument into service, find below service.xml code..

<service id="bulkUpload.helper" class="Webkul\BulkUpload\Services\BulkUploadHelper" public="true">
   <argument type="service" id="service_container" />
   <argument type="service" id="Shopware\Core\Content\Media\File\FileFetcher"/>
    <argument type="service" id="Shopware\Core\Content\Media\File\FileSaver"/>
 </service>

passing service container, FileFetcher and FileSaver predefined services into our custom service. first of all define these service into class service constructor function for further use in our function.then create a function for upload media URL for Shopware6. Create default context object then create media repository from container. After this get extension of URL by this code pathinfo($url, PATHINFO_EXTENSION), then get filename from this method basename($url, $ext). Further create request object through URL and extension by this way new Request([‘extension’ => $ext], [‘url’ => $url]); and get tempFile of the image from this method tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), ”);

Through FileFetcher we can get the file object of URL passing request and tempFile.

I hope it will help you. Thanks for reading
