Hello Laravel Friends,
In this Laravel tutorial, I will explain How to Upload Image in Laravel.
Using these steps, you can upload any media file in Laravel smartly. Before starting, we need some prerequisites.
Prerequisites:
Need to set up a Laravel project on your PC.
Steps to Upload Image in Laravel:
Step 1: Install spatie media library
Run the below command into your project root directory
|
1 |
$ composer require spatie/laravel-medialibrary |
Introduction of spatie/laravel-medialibrary:
This package can associate all sorts of files with Eloquent models. It provides a simple, fluent API to work with.
Step 2: Setup spatie/laravel-medialibrary
Run the below command
|
1 |
$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\MediaLibrary\MediaLibraryServiceProvider" –tag="migrations" |
This command publishes the migrations file and that Service provider.
|
1 |
$ php artisan migrate |
Migrate the media table into your database.
Step 3: Make the User route
Add the below code in your route/web.php
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
use App\Http\Controllers\UserController; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; Route::get('/users', [UserController::class, 'index'])->name('user.index'); Route::get('/user', [UserController::class, 'create'])->name('user.create'); Route::post('/user', [UserController::class, 'store'])->name('user.store'); |
Step 4: Create a Controller to process the request
|
1 |
$ php artisan make:controller UserController |
Now navigate to the below path
app/Http/Controllers/UserController.php
Then add the code as follows
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use App\Models\User; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class UserController extends Controller { public function index(Request $request) { $users = User::all(); return view('user.index', compact('users')); } public function create(Request $request) { return view('user.create'); } public function store(Request $request) { $user = User::create([ 'name' => $request->name, "email" => $request->email, "password" => $request->password, ]); if($request->hasFile('avatar') && $request->file('avatar')->isValid()){ $user->addMediaFromRequest('avatar')->toMediaCollection('avatar'); } return redirect()->route('user.index'); } } |
Step 5: Create a Blade file
In your view directory, create 2 files – create.blade.php and index.blade.php
Move to the following path
resources/views/user/index.blade.php
Add below code-snippet
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 |
