Laravel Temporary URL for local storage driver

Recently, I needed to use a temporary URL. Laravel supports temporary URLs out of the box with S3 drivers. I was using a local disk, but Laravel does not support a temporary URL feature for the local disk. If you are getting this exception, you are on the right article.
RuntimeException with message 'This driver does not support creating temporary URLs.'

I decided to add the temporary URL logic for my local disk. We'll accomplish this via Laravel signed URLs.

The below steps describe how to implement the getTemporaryUrl function in your Laravel app.

Step 1: Add the following code in the AppServiceProvider boot method.

Storage::disk('local')->buildTemporaryUrlsUsing(function ($path, $expiration, $options) {
            return URL::temporarySignedRoute(
                'local.temp',
                $expiration,
                array_merge($options, ['path' => $path])
            );
        });

Notice that URL::temporarySignedRoute receives route name local.temp, which we need to define.

Step 2: Add the route in web.php

Route::get('local/temp/{path}', function (string $path){
    return Storage::disk('local')->download($path);
})->name('local.temp');

This will allow downloading of the file using a temporary URL.

Now you can easily generate a temporary URL for the local disk.

disk = Storage::disk('releases-local');

return $disk->temporaryUrl($this->path, now()->addMinutes(5));
