Piko medias module

Medias management module for Piko based projects.

This module uses the UI Component Upload Manager

;

Features

• Upload Manager UI integration: ships with a ready-to-use widget (UploadManagerWidget) and bundled JS/CSS assets.
• Admin-protected media API: all upload-manager endpoints are restricted to users with manage.medias permission.
• Complete media workflow: upload, list, update metadata (caption/order), reorder, and delete media through dedicated routes.
• Entity-aware media grouping: files are organized by category and ref_id to attach medias to any domain entity.
• Secure upload handling: sanitized filenames + configurable upload size limit via maxFileSize.
• On-demand thumbnail generation: automatic thumbnail caching for images with configurable thumbnailQuality and JPEG/WebP/AVIF output.
• Automatic filesystem cleanup: deleting a media record also removes its physical file.
• Database-backed persistence: each uploaded file is stored on disk and tracked in the media table.
• Built-in installer command: includes SQL install scripts and CLI setup (./vendor/bin/medias-module setup:install).
• I18n-ready API messages: validation and method errors can be translated through the medias domain.

Installation

1 - Install module via composer:

composer require piko/medias-module

2 - Edit your Piko config :

[
  'modules' => [
    // ...
    'medias' => [
      'class' => 'Piko\MediasModule',
      'maxFileSize' => 10 * 1024 * 1024, // 10Mo
      'thumbnailQuality' => 95,
      'managePermission' => 'admin',
    ],
  ],
  'bootstrap' => ['medias'],
]

3 - Install the media table.

export DSN=mysql:host=127.0.0.1;dbname=yourdatabase;charset=utf8mb4
export DB_USERNAME=mysqluser
export DB_PASSWORD=yourpassword

./vendor/bin/medias-module setup:install

Usage in a PHP view template

Example in a Piko view file (for example views/post/edit.php):

<?php

use Piko\MediasModule\UploadManagerWidget;

/** @var \Piko\View $this */
/** @var array{id:int} $post */
?>

<h2>Post medias</h2>

<div id="post-medias-uploader"></div>

<?php
UploadManagerWidget::createUI($this, 'post-medias-uploader', [
    'refId' => (int) $post['id'],
    'category' => 'post',
    'destDir' => '@webroot/medias/posts',
    'clientOptions' => [
        'locale' => 'fr',
        'maxFileSize' => 10 * 1024 * 1024,
    ],
]);
?>

refId should be the related entity ID, and category lets you isolate medias by context (e.g. post, product, user).
