Step 5: Define Image routes

Step 6: Create a view file


Step 1: Create Laravel Project & Connect Database

Installing a fresh new laravel application.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel inertia-file-upload

Now, you have to connect the laravel app to the database, hence open the .env configuration file and add the database credentials as suggested below.

.env

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=database_name
DB_USERNAME=database_user_name
DB_PASSWORD=database_password


Step 2: Install Breeze & Setup Inertia Js Vue 3

Install laravel breeze via composer

composer require laravel/breeze --dev

Next, run below command

php artisan breeze:install

install breeze with vue 3

php artisan breeze:install vue

And final install Dependencies

npm install && npm run dev 


To create the symbolic link, you may use the storage:link Artisan command:

php artisan storage:link


Step 3: Create Model, Migration and Controller

Create a Model, Migration and Controller

php artisan make:model Image -mc 


Model created successfully.
Created Migration: 2021_09_15_115013_create_images_table
Controller created successfully


Add field in migration

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateImagesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->text('image');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('images');
    }
}


Image Model

app/Models/Image.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Image extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['image'];
    
    use HasFactory;
}


Setp 4: Create Image Request for Validation

To Create Image request run below command.

php artisan make:request StoreImage 

app/Http/Requests/StoreImage.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Requests;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Http\FormRequest;

class StoreImage extends FormRequest
{
    /**
     * Determine if the user is authorized to make this request.
     *
     * @return bool
     */
    public function authorize()
    {
        return true;
    }

    /**
     * Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
     *
     * @return array
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,jpg,png,gif,svg|max:2048'
        ];
    }
}


Image Controller

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Requests\StoreImage;
use App\Models\Image;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Request;
use Inertia\Inertia;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;


class ImageController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $images = Image::latest()->get();

        return Inertia::render('Image/Index', ['images' => $images]);
    }

    public function create()
    {
        return Inertia::render('Image/Create');
    }

    public function store(StoreImage $request)
    {

    $image_path = '';

    if ($request->hasFile('image')) {
        $image_path = $request->file('image')->store('image', 'public');
    }

    $data = Image::create([
        'image' => $image_path,
    ]);


        return Redirect::route('image.index');
    }

}


Step 5: Define Image routes

Create Routes

web.php

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Application;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Inertia\Inertia;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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('/', function () {
    return Inertia::render('Welcome', [
        'canLogin' => Route::has('login'),
        'canRegister' => Route::has('register'),
        'laravelVersion' => Application::VERSION,
        'phpVersion' => PHP_VERSION,
    ]);
});

Route::get('/dashboard', function () {
    return Inertia::render('Dashboard');

})->middleware(['auth', 'verified'])->name('dashboard');
Route::get('image', [ImageController::class,'index'])->name('image.index');
Route::get('image/create', [ImageController::class,'create'])->name('image.create');
Route::post('image', [ImageController::class,'store'])->name('image.store');
require __DIR__.'/auth.php';


Step 6: Create a view file

app/resources/js/Pages/Image/Create.vue

<template>
    <Head title="Dashboard" />

    <BreezeAuthenticatedLayout>
        <template #header>
            <h2 class="text-xl font-semibold leading-tight text-gray-800">
                Image Create

        </template>

        <div class="py-12">
            <div class="mx-auto max-w-7xl sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
                <div class="overflow-hidden bg-white shadow-sm sm:rounded-lg">
                    <div class="p-6 bg-white border-b border-gray-200">
                        <form @submit.prevent="submit">
                            <div>
                                <label for="File">File Upload</label>
                                <input
                                    type="file"
                                    @change="previewImage"
                                    ref="photo"

                                        focus:outline-none
                                        focus:ring-1
                                        focus:ring-blue-600
                                    "
                                />
                                <img
