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

class CreateFilesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('files', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

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

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateFilesTable extends Migration

{

/**

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('files', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 4: Install Livewire
Now, We will install a livewire package using the below command.

composer require livewire/livewire

1	composer require livewire/livewire

Step 5: Create Component
Here below command help to create the component.

php artisan make:livewire file-upload

1	php artisan make:livewire file-upload

app/Http/Livewire/FileUpload.php

<?
namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use Livewire\WithFileUploads;
use App\Models\File;

class FileUpload extends Component
{
    use WithFileUploads;
    public $title;
    public $name;

    public function submit()
    {
        $validatedData = $this->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'name' => 'required',
        ]);

        $filename = $this->name->store('files','public');

        $validatedData['name']=$filename;

        File::create($validatedData);

        session()->flash('message', 'File successfully Uploaded.');

        return redirect()->to('/file');
    }

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.file-upload');
    }
}
?>

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;

use Livewire\WithFileUploads;

use App\Models\File;

class FileUpload extends Component

{

use WithFileUploads;

public $title;

public $name;

public function submit()

{

$validatedData = $this->validate([

'title' => 'required',

'name' => 'required',

]);

$filename = $this->name->store('files','public');

$validatedData['name']=$filename;

File::create($validatedData);

session()->flash('message', 'File successfully Uploaded.');

return redirect()->to('/file');

}

public function render()

{

return view('livewire.file-upload');

}

Step 6: 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('/file', function () {
    return view('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('/file', function () {

return view('file');

});

Step 7: Create a Model

Here below command help to create the model.

php artisan make:model File

1	php artisan make:model File

File.php

<?php

namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class File extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = [
        'title','name'
    ];
}

?>

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class File extends Model

{

protected $fillable = [

'title','name'

];

}

Step 8: Create Blade Files

So finally, first we will open the file.blade.php and file-upload.blade.php files and after then paste the following code.

resources/views/file.blade.php
