Define upload field in the form
Firstly, add an <input type="file">
field to the HTML form to allow users to select a file or image for uploading.
Handle the upload request
In a Laravel controller, you can handle the upload request in a method. Use the Illuminate\Http\Request
object to access the uploaded file and perform necessary handling operations.
Store the file
Laravel provides a store
method to store the uploaded file. Simply call this method on the file object and provide the desired storage path.
Handle the image
If you need to handle an image, such as resizing, cropping, or applying filters, you can use an image processing library like Intervention Image. First, install the Intervention Image package via Composer:
Then, you can use the library's methods to process the image.
Display the uploaded file and image
Finally, you can display the uploaded file and image in the user interface. Use Laravel's helper methods to generate public URLs for the stored file and image, and use them in HTML or CSS.
You can use the $url
variable in HTML or CSS to display the uploaded file or image.
By following these steps and utilizing Laravel's built-in features, you can easily upload and handle files and images in your Laravel application.
