When artisanpack-ui/media-library is installed, services and providers can carry an image chosen from the media library rather than only a raw URL.
The image fields
Both Models\Service and Models\ServiceProvider carry two image columns:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
image_media_id |
A reference into the media library, used when the package is installed |
image_url |
A plain URL fallback, used when it is not |
With media-library installed, the admin editors let a staff member pick an image through the media modal and store its id in image_media_id. Without it, set image_url to any URL and the widget and admin screens use that.
use ArtisanPackUI\Bookings\Models\Service;
// With media-library
$service->update( [ 'image_media_id' => $media->id ] );
// Without it
$service->update( [ 'image_url' => 'https://cdn.example.test/discovery-call.jpg' ] );
Resolving image_media_id to a URL goes through the media library's own helpers, so image sizes, WebP/AVIF conversion, and alt text are handled there. See the media-library documentation for image sizing and management.
