Laravel 10 Image Upload Example Tutorial

Hello Artisan,

This tutorial will give you an example of laravel 10 image upload example. This post will give you a simple example of image upload in laravel 10. We will use laravel 10 upload image to the database. step by step explain how to upload and display image in laravel 10.

In this tutorial, we will create two routes one for the get method to render forms and another for the post method to upload image code. we created a simple form with file input. So you have to simply select an image and then it will upload in the “images” directory of a public folder.

So you have to simply follow the below steps and get an image upload in the laravel 10 application.

Step 1: Install Laravel 10 App

This step is not required; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:

composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app

Step 2: Create Controller

In this step, we will create a new ImageController; in this file, we will add two method index() and store() for render view and store image logic.

Let’s create ImageController by following command:

next, let’s update the following code to Controller File.

php artisan make:controller ImageController

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
  
class ImageController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(): View
    {
        return view('imageUpload');
    }
        
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $request->validate([
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);
        
        $imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();  
         
        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
      
        /* 
            Write Code Here for
            Store $imageName name in DATABASE from HERE 
        */
        
        return back()
                    ->with('success', 'You have successfully upload image.')
                    ->with('image', $imageName); 
    }
}

Store Image in Storage Folder

$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName);  // storage/app/images/file.png

Store Image in Public Folder

$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);  // public/images/file.png

Store Image in S3

$request->image->storeAs('images', $imageName, 's3');

Step 3: Create and Add Routes

Furthermore, open routes/web.php file and add the routes to manage GET and POST requests for render view and store image logic.

routes/web.php

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;
  
/* 
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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::controller(ImageController::class)->group(function(){
    Route::get('image-upload', 'index');
    Route::post('image-upload', 'store')->name('image.store');
});

Step 4: Create Blade File

At last step we need to create imageUpload.blade.php file and in this file we will create form with file input button. So copy bellow and put on that file.

resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php

        </div>
        <img src="images/{{ Session::get('image') }}">
        @endif
      
        <form action="{{ route('image.store') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
            @csrf
  
            <div class="mb-3">
                <label class="form-label" for="inputImage">Image:</label>

                    name="image" 
                    id="inputImage"
                    class="form-control @error('image') is-invalid @enderror">
  
                @error('image')
                    <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>
                @enderror
            </div>
   
            <div class="mb-3">
                <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload</button>
            </div>
       
        </form>
      
      </div>
    </div>
</div>
</body>
    
</html>
