In this post, I will share an example of how to upload an image on Laravel 8. When developing a Laravel application the functionality of uploading images is always there. Usually, we require our users to upload their profile photos for some verification purposes. Or a gallery module for your Laravel application. So in this example, I will show to you an example about Laravel image upload.
Step 1: Laravel Installation
If you don't have a Laravel 8 install in your local just run the following command below:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel image-upload
Step 2: Create Controller
Next, we will create a controller for our Laravel image upload. Run the following artisan command:
php artisan make:controller ImageUploadController
Step 3: Create Routes
Next, we will add our routes. Navigate routes/web.php the add the following code.
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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::group(['namespace' => 'App\Http\Controllers'], function()
{
Route::get('/image-upload', 'ImageUploadController@index')->name('image-upload.index');
Route::post('/image-upload', 'ImageUploadController@upload')->name('image-upload.post');
});
Step 4: Setup Controller Methods
Now lets, create our method of our Laravel image upload controller.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests\ImageUploadRequest;
class ImageUploadController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('image-upload.index');
}
public function upload(ImageUploadRequest $request)
{
$filename = time() . '.' . $request->image->extension();
$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $filename);
// save uploaded image filename here to your database
return back()
->with('success','Image uploaded successfully.')
->with('image', $filename);
}
}
Step 5: Create Laravel Image Upload Request
Next, we will add our validation request. Run the following command:
php artisan make:request ImageUploadRequest
Step 6: Add View
Next, we will add our view for our image upload index.blade.php. Navigate the directory resources/views/ then create an image-upload folder.
Then create file index.blade.php see below code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.0.2/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="container mt-5">
@if(Session::get('success', false))
<?php $data = Session::get('success'); ?>
@if (is_array($data))
@foreach ($data as $msg)
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
<i class="fa fa-check"></i>
{{ $msg }}
</div>
@endforeach
@else
<div class="alert alert-success" role="alert">
<i class="fa fa-check"></i>
{{ $data }}
</div>
@endif
<img src="images/{{ Session::get('image') }}" width="200px">
@endif
<form action="{{ route('image-upload.post') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@csrf
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="file" name="image" class="form-control">
@if ($errors->has('image'))
<span class="text-danger text-left">{{ $errors->first('image') }}</span>
@endif
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Now test it. Run command below:
php artisan serve
Then hit this URL to your browser: http://127.0.0.1:8000/image-upload
