New Filament Plugin: URL Image Uploader for Laravel Projects

Hey Laravel & Filament developers! πŸ‘‹

I'm excited to share my latest Filament plugin that solves a common challenge - importing images from URLs directly into your forms.

What it does

The URL Image Uploader plugin allows you to:

  • Upload images by pasting a URL (no file upload needed)
  • Automatic image validation
  • Live preview functionality
  • Seamless Laravel storage integration
  • Perfect for content management, e-commerce, and APIs

Why I built this

I was working on projects where I needed to import product images from suppliers' websites and external APIs. Manually downloading and re-uploading was tedious, so I created this plugin to streamline the workflow.

Key Features

βœ… URL-based image uploads
βœ… Image validation (format, size)
βœ… Real-time preview
βœ… Laravel storage integration
βœ… Easy Filament form integration

Feedback welcome!

I'd love to hear your thoughts, use cases, or feature suggestions. Feel free to drop a comment or DM me if you need help integrating it or have custom Filament development needs!

Happy coding! πŸš€
