The above command will create two files into your laravel 8 image upload tutorial app, which is located inside the following locations:
LaravelImageUpload/app/Models/Image.php
LaravelImageUpload/database/migrations/create_images_table.php
So, find create_images_table.php file inside LaravelImageUpload/database/migrations/ directory. Then open this file and add the following code into function up() on this file: public function up() { Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->string('name'); $table->string('path'); $table->timestamps(); }); }
Now, open again your terminal and type the following command on cmd to create tables into your selected database:
Step 4 – Create Image Upload Routes
In step 4, open your web.php file, which is located inside routes directory. Then add the following routes into web.php file:<?phpuse Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;use App\Http\Controllers\ImageUploadController;/*|--------------------------------------------------------------------------| Web Routes|--------------------------------------------------------------------------|| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!|*/Route::get('/', function () { return view('welcome');});Route::get('image', [ImageUploadController::class, 'index']);Route::post('upload', [ImageUploadController::class, 'upload']);
Step 5 – Creating Image Upload Controller
In step 5, create image upload controller by using the following command:
The above command will create ImagUploadController.php file, which is located inside LaravelImageUpload/app/Http/Controllers/ directory.
The following laravel validation rules will validate image file before upload/save into database: $validatedData = $request->validate([ 'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg|max:2048', ]);
So open ImagUploadController.php file and add the following code into it:<?phpnamespace App\Http\Controllers;use Illuminate\Http\Request;use App\Models\Image;class ImageUploadController extends Controller{ public function index() { return view('image-upload'); } public function upload(Request $request) { $validatedData = $request->validate([ 'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg|max:2048', ]); $name = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName(); $path = $request->file('image')->store('uploads'); $save = new Image; $save->name = $name; $save->path = $path; $save->save(); return redirect('image')->with('status', 'Image Has been uploaded successfully with validation in laravel'); }}
The following single line of code will upload image inside storage/app/upload directory: $path = $request->file('image')->store('uploads');
Step 6 – Create Blade File For Form
In step 6, create new blade view file that named image-upload.php inside resources/views directory for image upload form.
The following code display error message in laravel image upload forms. So do not forget to add the following code along laravel forms fields: @error('name') <div class="alert alert-danger mt-1 mb-1">{{ $message }}</div> @enderror
Don’t worry i have already added the validation error message display code along with each form fields.
So, you can add the following php and html form code into image-upload.blade.php:<!DOCTYPE html><html><head> <title>How to Image Upload in Laravel 8</title> <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"></head><body><div class="container mt-4"> @if(session('status')) <div class="alert alert-success"> {{ session('status') }} </div> @endif <div class="card"> <div class="card-header text-center font-weight-bold"> <h2>Laravel 8 Image Upload Tutorial</h2> </div> <div class="card-body"> <form name="image-upload" id="image-upload" method="post" action="{{url('upload')}}" enctype="multipart/form-data"> @csrf <div class="form-group"> <label for="exampleInputEmail1">Please Select Image</label> <input type="file" id="image" name="image" class="@error('image') is-invalid @enderror form-control"> @error('image') <div class="alert alert-danger mt-1 mb-1">{{ $message }}</div> @enderror </div> <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button> </form> </div> </div></div></body></html>
