In this article, we will see how to upload multiple images in laravel 8. here, we will see a tutorial on multiple image uploads in laravel 8. Also, we will see upload multiple images with validation in laravel 8 or laravel multiple file upload validation.
So, let's see upload multiple images with a preview in laravel 8 or multiple images upload in laravel 8.
Step 1: Install Laravel 8 for Upload Multiple Images
Step 2: Add Model and Migration
Step 3: Create Controller
Step 4: Create Route
Step 5: Create Blade File
In this step, we will install the laravel 8 app(if required) using the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Now, we will create a database, model, and migration.
php artisan make:model File -m
Now, edit the model like the below code.
app/Models/File.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class File extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = [
'filenames'
];
public function setFilenamesAttribute($value)
{
$this->attributes['filenames'] = json_encode($value);
}
}
Now, add the below code in the migration file.
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
class CreateFilesTable extends Migration
{
public function up()
{
Schema::create('files', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('filenames');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('files');
}
}
Now, migrate the table using the below command.
php artisan migrate
In this step, we will create FileController.
Note: create a "files" folder in your public directory to save your images.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\File;
class FileController extends Controller
{
public function create()
{
return view('index');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'filenames' => 'required',
'filenames.*' => 'image'
]);
$files = [];
if($request->hasfile('filenames'))
{
foreach($request->file('filenames') as $file)
{
$name = time().rand(1,50).'.'.$file->extension();
$file->move(public_path('files'), $name);
$files[] = $name;
}
}
$file= new File();
$file->filenames = $files;
$file->save();
return back()->with('success', 'Images are successfully uploaded');
}
}
In this step, we will create routes in the web.php file.
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\FileController;
Route::get('file', [FileController::class, 'create']);
Route::post('file', [FileController::class, 'store']);
Now, we will create the index.blade.php file in the given path resources/views/index.blade.php.
