Install Laravel App

First of we need to download laravel fresh setup. Use the below command and download fresh new laravel setup :

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel ImageUpload

Setup Database

After successfully install laravel Application, Go to your project .env file and set up database credential and move next step :

 DB_CONNECTION=mysql 
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
DB_USERNAME=here database username here
DB_PASSWORD=here database password here

Generate Migration & Model

Now we will create table name Image and it’s migration file. use the below command :

php artisan make:model Image -m

It command will create one model name Image and also create one migration file for Image table. After successfully run the command go to database/migrations file and put the below here :

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateImagesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->string('image');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('images');
    }
}

Before we run php artisan migrate command go to app/providers/AppServiceProvider.php and put the below code :

 

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
….
function boot()
{
Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
}

Next migrate the table using the below command :

php artisan migrate

Make Route

We will create two routes in web.php file. Go to app/routes/web.php file and create two below routes here :

 Route::get('image', 'ImageController@index');
Route::post('save', 'ImageController@save');

Create Controller

We need to create a controller name ImageController. Use the below command and create Controller :

php artisan make:controller ImageController

After successfully create controller go to app/controllers/ImageController.php and put the below code :

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Validator,Redirect,Response,File;

class ImageController extends Controller
{

    public function index()
    {
        return view('image');
    }

    public function save()
    {
       request()->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
       ]);
       if ($files = $request->file('image')) {
           $destinationPath = 'public/image/'; // upload path
           $profileImage = date('YmdHis') . "." . $files->getClientOriginalExtension();
           $files->move($destinationPath, $profileImage);
           $insert['image'] = "$profileImage";
        }
        $check = Image::insertGetId($insert);

        return Redirect::to("image")
        ->withSuccess('Great! Image has been successfully uploaded.');

    }
}

Create Blade view

In this step we need to create blade view file. Go to app/resources/views and create one file name image.blade.php :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
  <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

    @if ($message = Session::get('success'))

    <div class="alert alert-success alert-block">

        <button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>

            <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>

    </div>
    <br>
    @endif

    @if (count($errors) > 0)

        <div class="alert alert-danger">

            <strong>Opps!</strong> There were something went wrong with your input.

            <ul>

                @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)

                    <li>{{ $error }}</li>

                @endforeach

            </ul>

        </div>
      <br>
    @endif
    <form action="{{ url('save') }}" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8" enctype="multipart/form-data">
      @csrf
    <div class="avatar-upload col-12">
        <div class="avatar-edit">
            <input type='file' id="image" name="image" onchange="readURL(this);" accept=".png, .jpg, .jpeg" />
            <label for="imageUpload"></label>
            <img id="blah" src="//www.tutsmake.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/no-image-tut.png" class="" width="200" height="150"/>
        </div>

    </div>
    <div class="avatar-upload col-6">
    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
    </div>
    </form>
</div>
<script>
  function readURL(input, id) {
    id = id || '#blah';
    if (input.files && input.files[0]) {
        var reader = new FileReader();

        reader.onload = function (e) {
            $(id)
                    .attr('src', e.target.result)
                    .width(200)
                    .height(150);
        };

        reader.readAsDataURL(input.files[0]);
    }
 }
</script> 
</body>
</html>

Start Development Server

We need to start development server. Use the php artisan serve command and start your server :

 php artisan serve
If you want to run the project diffrent port so use this below command
php artisan serve --port=8080
