Laravel 9 Upload Image Example Tutorial

In this step by step tutorial I’ll guide you through the process to upload image on public storage and directory in laravel 9:

Download Laravel 9 Application

Setup Database with App
Create Model & Migration
Create Routes

Create Controller By Artisan Command
Create Blade View
Create Images Directory inside Storage/app/public

Run Development Server

Install Laravel 9

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel 9 using the below command

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

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel SimpleImageUpload

Configure Database In .env file

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.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=SimpleImageUpload
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=SimpleImageUpload

DB_USERNAME=root

DB_PASSWORD=

Create Model & Migration

Now, we have to define table schema for photos table. Open terminal and let’s run the following command to generate a migration along with model file to create photos table in our database.

php artisan make:model Photo -m

1	php artisan make:model Photo -m

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 –

public function up()
{
    Schema::create('photos', function (Blueprint $table) {
        $table->id();
        $table->string('name');
        $table->string('path');
        $table->timestamps();
    });
}

public function up()

{

Schema::create('photos', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->id();

$table->string('name');

$table->string('path');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

Now, run following command to migrate database schema.

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

After, the migration executed successfully the photos table will be created in database.

Create Routes

After this, we need to add following routes in “routes/web.php” file along with a resource route. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add following route.

routes/web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\UploadImageController;
 
Route::get('upload-image', [UploadImageController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('save', [UploadImageController::class, 'save']);

use App\Http\Controllers\UploadImageController;

Route::get('upload-image', [UploadImageController::class, 'index']);

Route::post('save', [UploadImageController::class, 'save']);

Create Controller By Artisan Command

Now, lets create a controller for simple image uploading. Create a controller named UploadImageController using command given below –

php artisan make:controller <strong>UploadImageController</strong>

1	php artisan make:controller <strong>UploadImageController</strong>

Once the above command executed, it will create a controller file UploadImageController.php in app/Http/Controllers/ directory. Open the UploadImageController.php file and put the following code in it.

app/Http/Controllers/UploadImageController.php

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Image;
 
 
class UploadImageController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('image');
    }
 
    public function save(Request $request)
    {
         
        $validatedData = $request->validate([
         'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg|max:2048',
 
        ]);
 
        $name = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();
 
        $path = $request->file('image')->store('public/images');
 
 
        $save = new Photo;
 
        $save->name = $name;
        $save->path = $path;
 
        $save->save();
 
        return redirect('upload-image')->with('status', 'Image Has been uploaded');
 
    }
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\Image;

class UploadImageController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

return view('image');

}

public function save(Request $request)

{

$validatedData = $request->validate([

'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg|max:2048',

]);

$name = $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();

$path = $request->file('image')->store('public/images');

$save = new Photo;

$save->name = $name;

$save->path = $path;

$save->save();

return redirect('upload-image')->with('status', 'Image Has been uploaded');

}

Note:- Before uploading any file make sure you have created following directory in the storage/app/public folder called images.

Create Blade View

In this step, we will create view/blade file to generate and display Image Upload Form. Lets create a blade file “image.blade.php” in “resources/views/” directory and put the following code in it respectively.

resources/views/image.blade.php

                    @error('image')
                        <div class="alert alert-danger mt-1 mb-1">{{ $message }}</div>
                    @enderror
                    </div>
                </div>
                   
                <div class="col-md-12">
                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="submit">Submit</button>
                </div>

@enderror

</div>

<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="submit">Submit</button>

</div>

Create Images Directory inside Storage/app/public

Before uploading any file make sure you have created following directory in the storage/app/public folder called images.

$path = $request->file('image')->store('public/images');

1	$path = $request->file('image')->store('public/images');

Run Development Server

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –
