In this example, we will upload the images with the validation in the folder. so you can follow the below step for image upload using ajax in laravel 6.
Overview
Step 1: Install Laravel
Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
Step 3: Create Table using migration
Step 4: Create Route
Step 5: Create a Model and Controller
Step 6: Create Blade Files
Step 7: Run The Application
Step 1: Install Laravel
We are going to install laravel 6, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel larave6_ajax_image
Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
After the complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.
DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(larave6_ajax_image) DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root) DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root)
Step 3: Create Table using migration
Now, We need to create a migration. so we will below command using create the images table migration.
php artisan make:migration create_images_table --create=images
After complete migration. we need below changes in the database/migrations/create_images_table file.
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateImagesTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('image');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('images');
}
}
?>Run the below command. after the changes above file.
php artisan migrate
Step 4: Create Route
Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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('image', 'ImageController@index');
Route::post('image', 'ImageController@save');
?>Step 5: Create a Model and Controller
Here below command help to create the controller and model.
php artisan make:controller ImageController --resource --model=Image
Image.php
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Image extends Model
{
protected $fillable = [
'image'
];
}
?>ImageController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Validator,Redirect,Response,File;
use App\Image;
class ImageController extends Controller
{
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index()
{
return view('image');
}
/**
* Show the application dashboard.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function save(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'required',
'image.*' => 'mimes:jpeg,jpg,gif,png'
]);
if($request->file('images')){
$file=$request->file('images');
$name=$file->getClientOriginalName();
$file->move('image',$name);
Image::insert( ['image'=> $name]);
return Response()->json([
"success" => true,
"image" => $name
]);
}else{
return Response()->json([
"success" => false
]);
}
}
}
?>Step 6: Create Blade Files
So finally, first we will create the image.blade.php files in “resources/ views/student/” directory.
image.blade.php

$('#form').submit(function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
var formData = new FormData(this);
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url: "{{ url('image')}}",
data: formData,
cache:false,
contentType: false,
processData: false,
success: (data) => {
if(data.success == true){
this.reset();
alert('Image has been uploaded successfully');
}

<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">

</div>
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-default">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</body>
</html>Step 7: Run The Application
