Different root for specific user roles about nova-file-manager

[Rezrazi]

Hi,

The on-demand filesystem feature on the file manager saves the disk name as default as your disk wouldn't actually have a name, you need to apply your same business logic when you'll need to retrieve the assets from the disks.

Otherwise you'll need to create those disks in filesystems.php with specific names and then reuse that name with Storage::disk() if you want ease of access to the assets.

You may add a method on your user model which provides the disk instance. So you will be able to configure the filemanager and also retrieve the user's files

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Contracts\Filesystem\Filesystem;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Oneduo\NovaFileManager\Casts\Asset;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'role',
        'slug',
        'avatar',
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
    ];
    
    protected $casts = [
        'avatar' => Asset::class,
    ];

    public function storage(): Filesystem
    {
        return Storage::build([
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => storage_path("app/public/pouzivatelia/{$this->role}/{$this->slug}"),
            'url' => config('app.url')."/storage/pouzivatelia/{$this->role}/{$this->slug}",
        ]);
    }

    // this is an example on how to use the custom filesystem
    public function avatarExists(): bool
    {
        if (!$this->avatar) {
            return false;
        }
        
        return $this->storage()->exists($this->avatar->path);
    }
}

You may configure the field like this :

<?php

use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;
use Oneduo\NovaFileManager\FileManager;

class User extends Resource
{
    // ...

    public function fields(NovaRequest $request): array
    {
        return [
            // ... any other fields
            FileManager::make(__('Avatar'), 'avatar')
                ->filesystem(fn(NovaRequest $request) => $request->user()->storage()),
        ];
    }
}
