Laravel 8 Ajax Image Upload Example
In this step by step tutorial I will demonstrate you with an example to upload image using ajax in laravel application. Please follow the instruction given below:
Step 1 : Install Laravel 8 Application
First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 8 using the below command
|
1 |
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog |
Step 2 : Database Configuration
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 |
DB_HOST=localhost DB_DATABASE=homestead DB_USERNAME=homestead DB_PASSWORD=secret |
Step 3: Create ajax_images Table and Model
Now, we have to define table schema for ajax_image table. Open terminal and let’s run the following command to generate a migration along with model file to create ajax_image table in our database.
|
1 |
php artisan make:migration create_ajax_image_tabel |
Once this command is executed you will find a migration file created under “database/migrations”. lets open migration file and put 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 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema; use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint; use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration; class CreateAjaxImageTabel extends Migration { /** * Run the migrations. * * @return void */ public function up() { Schema::create('ajax_images', function (Blueprint $table) { $table->id(); $table->string('title'); $table->string('image'); $table->timestamps(); }); } /** * Reverse the migrations. * * @return void */ public function down() { Schema::drop("ajax_images"); } } |
Now, run following command to migrate database schema.
|
1 |
php artisan migrate |
After creating “ajax_images” table ,create AjaxImage model for Categories.
|
1 |
php artisan make:model AjaxImage |
Now, in this step we will create model file app/Models/AjaxImage.php and put the following code in item.php file:
app/Models/AjaxImage.php
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 |
<?php namespace App\Models; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory; use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model; class AjaxImage extends Model { use HasFactory; protected $fillable = [ 'title', 'image' ]; } |
Step 4: Create Route
Now, 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 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 |
<?php use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; use App\Http\Controllers\AjaxImageUploadController; /* |-------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 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::get('ajaxImageUpload', [AjaxImageUploadController::class, 'ajaxImageUpload']); Route::post('ajaxImageUpload', [AjaxImageUploadController::class, 'ajaxImageUploadPost'])->name('ajaxImageUpload'); |
Step 5: Create Controller
Now create new controller as AjaxImageUploadController in this path app/Http/Controllers/AjaxImageUploadController.php.
|
1 |
php artisan make:controller AjaxImageUploadController |
app/Http/Controllers/AjaxImageUploadController.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 |
<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Validator; use App\Models\AjaxImage; class AjaxImageUploadController extends Controller { /** * Show the application ajaxImageUpload. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function ajaxImageUpload() { return view('ajaxImageUpload'); } /** * Show the application ajaxImageUploadPost. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function ajaxImageUploadPost(Request $request) { $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [ 'title' => 'required', 'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048', ]); if ($validator->passes()) { $input = $request->all(); $input['image'] = time().'.'.$request->image->extension(); $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $input['image']); AjaxImage::create($input); return response()->json(['success'=>'done']); } return response()->json(['error'=>$validator->errors()->all()]); } } |
Step 6: Create View
Now create ajaxImageUpload.blade.php(resources/views/ajaxImageUpload.blade.php) for layout design code and form for ajax image upload.
resources/views/ajaxImageUpload.blade.php
|

Note:- Do remember to create “images” folder in public directory.
Run Development Server
Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –
|
1 |
php artisan serve |
Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –
|
1 |
http://localhost:8000/ajaxImageUpload |
