In order to save size on my host, I want to resize the image uploaded before to save but I don't know how to do that

Any suggestion or a link?

On the other hand, I want to remove my prior image before upload. This is my code

function onAvatarUpdate() {
    $model = Auth::getUser();

    if(!Input::hasFile('avatar')) {
        return;
    }

    // remove prior avatar
    if($model->avatar !== null) {
        $model->avatar->delete();
    }

    // update avatar
    $model->avatar = Input::file('avatar');

    // save
    $model->save();
}

Is it ok?

Hey, looks good. Try this

// Resize options
$width = 100;
$height = 100;
$options = [];

$file = Input::file('avatar');

$resizedFile = temp_path(uniqid().$file->getClientOriginalName());

Resizer::open($file->getRealPath())
    ->resize($width, $height, $options)
    ->save($resizedFile)
;

// update avatar
$model->avatar = $resizedFile;

// save
$model->save();

// cleanup
File::delete($resizedFile);

I haven't tested it but it could be the right direction. Good luck!

It doesn't work :(

I get the next error The avatar must be an image.

The image is created in temporary path location but after set the $resizedFile into $model->avatar, it is not able to save the model.

I could resolve the issue, this is my code

    $model = Auth::getUser();

    if(!Input::hasFile('avatar')) {
        return;
    }

    // remove prior avatar
    if($model->avatar !== null) {
        $model->avatar->delete();
    }

    // save
    $model->avatar = Input::file('avatar');
    $model->save();

    // resize
    Resizer::open($model->avatar->getLocalPath())
        ->resize(800, 800)
        ->save($model->avatar->getLocalPath());

Nice!
