Here below command help to create the controller and model.

php artisan make:controller ArticleController --resource --model=Article

1	php artisan make:controller ArticleController --resource --model=Article

Article.php

<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Article extends Model
{
     use HasFactory;
     protected $fillable = [

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Article extends Model

{

use HasFactory;

protected $fillable = [

'title','description', 'author_name'

];

}

ArticleController.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Article;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Response;
class ArticleController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('article-form');
    }
    public function uploadImage(Request $request) {		
	if($request->hasFile('upload')) {
            $originName = $request->file('upload')->getClientOriginalName();
            $fileName = pathinfo($originName, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
            $extension = $request->file('upload')->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $fileName = $fileName.'_'.time().'.'.$extension;
        
            $request->file('upload')->move(public_path('images'), $fileName);
   
            $CKEditorFuncNum = $request->input('CKEditorFuncNum');
            $url = asset('images/'.$fileName); 
            $msg = 'Image uploaded successfully'; 
            $response = "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction($CKEditorFuncNum, '$url', '$msg')</script>";
               
            @header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); 
            echo $response;
        }
    }	
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Article;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use Response;

class ArticleController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

return view('article-form');

}

public function uploadImage(Request $request) {

if($request->hasFile('upload')) {

$originName = $request->file('upload')->getClientOriginalName();

$fileName = pathinfo($originName, PATHINFO_FILENAME);

$extension = $request->file('upload')->getClientOriginalExtension();

$fileName = $fileName.'_'.time().'.'.$extension;

$request->file('upload')->move(public_path('images'), $fileName);

$CKEditorFuncNum = $request->input('CKEditorFuncNum');

$url = asset('images/'.$fileName);

$msg = 'Image uploaded successfully';

$response = "<script>window.parent.CKEDITOR.tools.callFunction($CKEditorFuncNum, '$url', '$msg')</script>";

@header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8');

echo $response;

}

Step 4: Create Blade Files

Finally, We will create the article-form.blade.php file in the “resources/views/” folder directory and paste the below code.

article-form.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <link href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<body>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <h1 class="text-center">Laravel 8 Integrate Ckeditor With Example - XpertPhp</h1><br> 
                <form method="post" action="{{ route('store.article') }}" class="form form-horizontal">               
                  @csrf
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Title</label>
                        <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control"/>
                    </div>  
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Description</label>
                         <textarea class="form-control" id="summary-ckeditor" name="summary-ckeditor"></textarea> 
                    </div>  
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Author Name</label>
                        <input type="text" name="author" class="form-control"/>
                    </div>   
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <input type="submit" value="Submit" class="btn btn-primary"/>
                    </div> 
                </form>             
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0-beta/js/bootstrap.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="{{ asset('vendor/unisharp/laravel-ckeditor/ckeditor.js') }}"></script>
    <script>
    CKEDITOR.replace('summary-ckeditor', {
        filebrowserUploadUrl: "{{route('upload', ['_token' => csrf_token() ])}}",
        filebrowserUploadMethod: 'form'
    });
    </script> 
</body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

</head>

<body>

<h1 class="text-center">Laravel 8 Integrate Ckeditor With Example - XpertPhp</h1><br>

@csrf

<label>Title</label>

</div>

<label>Description</label>

</div>

<label>Author Name</label>

</div>

</div>

</form>

</div>

CKEDITOR.replace('summary-ckeditor', {

filebrowserUploadUrl: "{{route('upload', ['_token' => csrf_token() ])}}",

filebrowserUploadMethod: 'form'

});

</script>

</body>

</html>
