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

class CreateImagesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *

            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->timestamps();

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

php artisan make:livewire image-upload

app/Http/Livewire/ImageUpload.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use Livewire\WithFileUploads;
use App\Image;

class ImageUpload extends Component
{
    use WithFileUploads;

    public $title;
    public $image;
  
    public function submit()
    {
        $validatedData = $this->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,svg,jpg,gif|max:1024',
        ]);

        $imageName = $this->image->store("images",'public');

        $validatedData['name'] = $imageName;

        Image::create($validatedData);
  
        session()->flash('message', 'Image successfully Uploaded.');

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

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.image-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::view('image','livewire.home');

Step 7: Create a Model 

Here below command help to create the model.

php artisan make:model Image

Image.php

<?php

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

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

?>

Step 8: Create Blade Files

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

resources/views/livewire/home.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel 7 Livewire Image Upload From Scratch - XpertPhp</title>
    @livewireStyles
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}">
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container ">
        <div class="row mt-5">
            <div class="col-md-8 offset-2">
                <div class="card mt-5">
                  <div class="card-header bg-success">
                    <h2 class="text-white">Laravel 7 Livewire Image Upload From Scratch - XpertPhp</h2>
                  </div>
                  <div class="card-body">
                    @livewire('image-upload')
                  </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}"></script>
@livewireScripts
</html>

resources/views/livewire/image-upload.blade.php

@if (session()->has('message'))
    <div class="alert alert-success">
        {{ session('message') }}
    </div>
@endif
<form wire:submit.prevent="submit" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="exampleInputTitle">Title</label>
        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputTitle" wire:model="title">
        @error('title') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
    </div>
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="exampleInputName">Image</label>
        <input type="file" class="form-control" id="exampleInputName" wire:model="image">
        @error('image') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
    </div>
     <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Save</button>
</form>
