Laravel 5 - Storage Adapter Extending Will Not Work - php

Question

For some reason I cannot extend the Storage Class like the example in the docs.
I have been trying to create an FTP adapter because it is required for the project I am working on.
Here is the Service Provider I have created
<?php namespace herbals\Providers;
use Storage;
use Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp as FTPAdapter;
class FTPFileSystemServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
public function boot()
{
Storage::extend('ftp', function($app, $config)
{
$client = new FTPAdapter(array(
'host' => env('FTP_HOST') || '',
'username' => env('FTP_USERNAME') || '',
'password' => env('FTP_PASSWORD') || '',
'port' => env('FTP_PORT') || '',
'root' => env('FTP_ROOT') || '/',
'passive' => true,
'ssl' => true,
'timeout' => 30,
));
$filesystem = new Filesystem($client);
return $filesystem;
});
}
public function register()
{
//
}
}
Here is the error I keep getting
ErrorException in FilesystemManager.php line 232:
call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, class 'Illuminate\Filesystem\FilesystemAdapter' does not have a method 'createDriver'

I think you are making a little mistake here, make sure you have the ftp drivers and its details (host, username,password ) in /config/filesystem.php and reference them in your provider using $config['host'] and so on...
After playing with the api for some time , I was able to figure it out , now follow these instructions : In you /config/filesystem.php , add the new driver settings like :
'ftp' => [
'driver' => 'ftp',
'host' =>'ftp-host',
'username' => 'ftp-username',
'password' => 'ftp-pass',
'port' => 21,
'ssl' => false,
],
Next we will create an Ftp Filemanager Driver Service Provider in /app/Providers ,save the file FtpFilesystemServiceProvider.php .. Below is how mine looks like
<?php
namespace App\Providers;
use Storage;
use League\Flysystem\Filesystem;
use League\Flysystem\Adapter\Ftp as FtpAdapter;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider as ServiceProvider;
class FtpFilesystemServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider {
//boot
public function boot()
{
Storage::extend('ftp',function($app, $config){
//init the client
$client = new FtpAdapter($config);
//lets now call the obj
$ftpFileSystem = new Filesystem($client);
//return
return $ftpFileSystem;
});
}//end boot
public function register()
{
//
}
}
After which we will edit /config/app.php and add the service provider to providers array so you will add the code below to the list of providers:
'App\Providers\FtpFilesystemServiceProvider',
We are done, you are off to go , yo can call the storage like this
Storage::disk("ftp");
or set ftp as your default driver , ....
