The medialibrary is able to zip stream multiple files on the fly. So you don't need to create a zip archive on your server.
The provided MediaStream
class that allows you to respond with a stream. Files will be zipped on the fly and you can even include files from multiple filesystems.
Here's an example on how it can be used:
use Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaStream;
class DownloadMediaController
{
public function download(YourModel $yourModel)
{
// Let's get some media.
$downloads = $yourModel->getMedia('downloads');
// Download the files associated with the media in a streamed way.
// No prob if your files are very large.
return MediaStream::create('my-files.zip')->addMedia($downloads);
}
}
