In this article, we will see how to file upload in laravel 9 example. Here we will show you the laravel 9 file upload in the pubic folder example. In this example, you will learn how to upload files in laravel 9 into the database and storage directory with validation. Also, we will see how to validate file mime type, file size, etc using laravel 9 validation rules.
For the file upload example, we will add two routes and create functions in the controller for the validation of the file. Also, we will create a form to submit files.
So, let's see a file upload in laravel 9.
In this step, we will install laravel if you have already then add routes in the web.php file.
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\FileUploadController;
Route::get('file-upload', [FileUploadController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('file-upload', [FileUploadController::class, 'store'])->name('file.store');
Now, create a new FileUploadController and add two methods index() and store().
app/Http/Controllers/FileUploadController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class FileUploadController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('fileUpload');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'file' => 'required|mimes:pdf,xlx,csv|max:1024',
]);
$fileName = time().'.'.$request->file->extension();
$request->file->move(public_path('uploads'), $fileName);
return back()
->with('success','File Uploaded successfully.')
->with('file', $fileName);
}
}
Store File in Public Folder
$request->file->storeAs('uploads', $fileName);
// storage/app/uploads/filename.jpg
Store File in S3
$request->file->storeAs('uploads', $fileName, 's3');
Store File in Storage Folder
$request->file->move(public_path('uploads'), $fileName);
// public/uploads/filename.jpg
We will create a basic form with an upload button in the blade file.
