- Install Laravel Fresh Setup
- Setup Database Credentials
- Create Route
- Generate Controller By Command
- Create the blade view
- Start Development Server
1: Install Laravel Fresh Setup
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel using the below command
|
1 |
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel Blog |
2: Setup Database Credentials
Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
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 |
3: Create Route
After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.
routes/web.php
|
1 2 3 |
Route::get('images-upload', 'ImageController@imagesUpload'); Route::post('images-upload', 'ImageController@imagesUploadPost')->name('images.upload'); |
4: Generate Controller by Command
Now, lets create a controller named ImageController using command given below –
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller ImageController |
The above command will create a controller name ImageController. Now, open controller app/HTTP/Controller/ImageController and put the following code in it:
|
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 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class HomeController extends Controller { /** * Create a new controller instance. * * @return void */ public function imagesUpload() { return view('image'); } /** * Create a new controller instance. * * @return void */ public function imagesUploadPost(Request $request) { request()->validate([ 'uploadFile' => 'required', ]); foreach ($request->file('uploadFile') as $key => $value) { $imageName = time(). $key . '.' . $value->getClientOriginalExtension(); $value->move(public_path('images'), $imageName); } return response()->json(['success'=>'Images Uploaded Successfully.']); } } |
5: Create the blade view
Now, we will create some blade views files, Go to app/resources/views/ and create a blade file name image.blade.php and put the following code into your file:
image.blade.php
|
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 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 |

6: Run Development Server
Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –
