Upload and retrieve image in Laravel - mysql

Question

I need to save the image for an avatar.
Can anyone give me a simple code to save and retrieve image?
I need to:
Save image in folder
Save image name in DB
Finally retrieve on image tag; I have to do it by Query Builder
Form:
<form action="" method="post" role="form" multiple>
{{csrf_field()}}
<legend>Form Title</legend>
<div class="form-group">
<label for="">Your Image</label>
<input type="file" name="avatar">
</div>
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">save</button>
back
</form>
<img name="youravatar" src="">
</div>
Route:
Route::get('pic','avatarController#picshow');
Route::post('pic','avatarController#pic');
Controller:
I have the avatarController, but it is empty because I don't know what to do.
Database:
Table name: avatar
Fields: name id, imgsrc, created_at, Updated_at
Other:
I found this code but I can't find out anything:
if ($request->hasFile('avatar')) {
$file = array('avatar' => Input::file('avatar'));
$destinationPath = '/'; // upload path
$extension = Input::file('avatar')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileName = rand(11111,99999).'.'.$extension; // renaming image
Input::file('avatar')->move($destinationPath, $fileName);
}

Answer 1

First, make sure you have the encrypt attribute in your form
<form action="#" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
You can use something similar to this in your controller
public function save(Request $request)
{
$file = $request->file('file');
// rename your file
$name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
\Storage::disk('local')->put($name, \File::get($file));
return "file saved";
}
Yes, you should store the file route in your database as well.
Make sure you are using a consistent path for your images like
Finally you have to create a route to give public access to your image file, like so:
Route::get('images/{file}', function ($file) {
$public_path = public_path();
$url = $public_path . '/storage/' . $file;
// file exists ?
if (Storage::exists($archivo))
{
return response()->file($pathToFile);
}
//not found ?
abort(404);
});
Check the docs about Laravel Responses
I hope this gives you an Idea of what to do.

Upload Image in laravel 5.4
check if request has image
$request->hasFile('image')
OR
$request->file('image')->isValid()
Now Save Image
$request->inputname->store('folder-name') return image path 'folder name/created image name
$request->image->store('images')
Check if image exits
Storage::disk('local')->exists('image name');
Delete Image
Storage::delete('image');
This is my code
if ($request->hasFile('image') && $request->file('image')->isValid())
{
$path = $request->image->store('images');
if(!empty($path)){
$edit = Model::FindOrFail($id);
// Delete old image
$exists = Storage::disk('local')->exists($edit->image);
if($exists){
Storage::delete($edit->image);
}
$edit->image = $path;
$edit->save();
}
}
