Hello Geek, Laravel is a PHP framework that makes it easy to build robust and modern web applications. In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to create a basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operation with image upload functionality using Laravel.
First, we’ll create a new Laravel project using the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
Next, we’ll create a new model and a migration for our blog posts:
php artisan make:model Post -m
In the migration file, we’ll add the necessary columns for our blog post, including an image field.
public function up()
{
Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->id();
$table->string('title');
$table->text('body');
$table->string('image');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Next, we’ll run the migration to create the posts table:
php artisan migrate
After the migration is complete, we’ll create a new controller for our blog posts:
php artisan make:controller PostController
In the controller, we’ll add the necessary methods for our CRUD operations, including a method for handling image uploads.
public function store(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required',
'body' => 'required',
'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
]);
$imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();
$request->image->move(public_path('images'), $imageName);
$post = new Post([
'title' => $request->get('title'),
'body' => $request->get('body'),
'image' => $imageName
]);
$post->save();
return redirect('/posts')->with('success', 'Post saved!');
}
Finally, we’ll create the views for our blog posts, including a form for creating new posts with an image upload field.
This tutorial provides a basic understanding of how to create a CRUD operation with image upload functionality using Laravel. With this foundation, you can build more complex and advanced web applications with ease.
All the best nerd!
