Cloudinary Integration Guide

1. Sign up for Cloudinary 👇

   Cloudinary

2. Select Interest: Choose "Working with APIs and SDKs".

3. Access API Keys:

   • After signing up, you'll be redirected to the Cloudinary console.
   • Click on "View API Keys" to get your cloud_name, api_key, and api_secret.
   • Use the provided URL embedded with these credentials.

4. Configure Environment Variables:

   • Add the API URL to your .env file.

5. Add Dependency: Include the following in your pom.xml:

   <dependency>
       <groupId>com.cloudinary</groupId>
       <artifactId>cloudinary-http44</artifactId>
       <version>1.32.2</version>
   </dependency>
   
   

6. Create Configuration Class:

   • Define a CloudinaryConfig class to manage the Cloudinary instance.
   • Inject values from environment variables and create a Cloudinary bean.

   package com.devb.estores.config;
   
   import com.cloudinary.Cloudinary;
   import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Value;
   import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
   import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
   
   @Configuration
   public class CloudinaryConfig {
   
       @Value("${cloudinary.cloud_name}")
       private String cloudName;
   
       @Value("${cloudinary.api_key}")
       private String apiKey;
   
       @Value("${cloudinary.api_secret}")
       private String apiSecret;
   
       @Bean
       Cloudinary cloudinary() {
           return new Cloudinary(ObjectUtil.asMap(
               "cloud_name", cloudName,
               "api_key", apiKey,
               "api_secret", apiSecret
           ));
       }
   }
   
   

7. Upload an Image:

   • Implement a method to upload images to Cloudinary.

   private final Cloudinary cloudinary;
   
     private String uploadImage(MultipartFile file) throws IOException {
           Map result = cloudinary.uploader().upload(file.getBytes(), ObjectUtils.emptyMap());
           return result.get("url").toString();
     }
