Laravel provides Laracord with a powerful filesystem abstraction out of the box utilizing Flysystem. This allows you to easily work with files on your system.
Note
For advanced usage, we strongly suggest checking out the official Laravel Filesystem documentation.
Basic file operations can mostly be covered using the File facade:
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\File;
File::put('/path/to/file.txt', 'Hello world');
$file = File::get('/path/to/file.txt');
The Storage facade allows you to interact with your bot's configured storage directly. By default, this is the storage/app folder inside your bot project.
While in production, the storage directory will be created alongside the laracord binary in the current working directory.
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
Storage::put('file.txt', 'Hello world');
$file = Storage::get('file.txt');
