Laravel 7/6 Dropzone Multiple File Upload

Uploading multiple images with dropzone

Saving images with unique file names to database

Install Laravel App
Setup Database Credentials in .env

Create Route
Generate a Controller & Model
Create a View File

Start Development Server

Step 1: Install Laravel App

First of all we need to create a fresh laravel project, download and install Laravel using the below command

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravelDropzone

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravelDropzone

Step 2: Setup Database Credentials in .env

Now, lets create a MySQL database and connect it with laravel application. After creating database we need to set database credential in application’s .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=databasename
DB_USERNAME=db_username
DB_PASSWORD=db_password

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=databasename

DB_USERNAME=db_username

DB_PASSWORD=db_password

Step 3: Create Route

After this, we need to define routes in “routes/web.php” file. Lets open “routes/web.php” file and add the following routes in it.

routes/web.php

Route::get('dropzone/image','ImageController@index');
Route::post('dropzone/store','ImageController@store');

1 2	Route::get('dropzone/image','ImageController@index'); Route::post('dropzone/store','ImageController@store');

Step 4: Generate a Controller & Model

In this step we will generate a controller and model file using following artisan command:

php artisan make:model Image -mcr

1	php artisan make:model Image -mcr

The above command will generate a Image model, migration file for Image Table and also will create one controller name ImageController.php. Now, go to database/migrations directory and open create_images_table.php file and put the following code in create_images_table.php file:

<?php
 
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
 
class CreateImagesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('images', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
 
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('images');
    }
}

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

class CreateImagesTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

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

$table->id();

$table->string('title');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('images');

}

Now, in this step we will create model and migration file. Please run the following command:

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Next, Navigate to app/http/controllers direcotry and open ImageController.php. Then update the following methods into your ImageController.php file:

<?php
 
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
 
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
 
use App\Image;
 
class HomeController extends Controller
{
 
    public function index()
    {
        return view('image');
    }
 
 
    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $image = $request->file('file');
        $avatarName = $image->getClientOriginalName();
        $image->move(public_path('images'),$avatarName);
         
        $imageUpload = new Image();
        $imageUpload->title = $avatarName;
        $imageUpload->save();
        return response()->json(['success'=>$avatarName]);
    }
 
}

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Image;

class HomeController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

return view('image');

}

public function store(Request $request)

{

$image = $request->file('file');

$avatarName = $image->getClientOriginalName();

$image->move(public_path('images'),$avatarName);

$imageUpload = new Image();

$imageUpload->title = $avatarName;

$imageUpload->save();

return response()->json(['success'=>$avatarName]);

}

Step 5: Create Blade view

In this step, we will create a blade file. So go to /resources/views folder and create one file name image.blade.php. Now, put the following code into your image.blade.php file:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Laravel Upload Image Using Dropzone Tutorial</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('css/app.css')}}">
 
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/css/bootstrap.min.css"> 
    <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.slim.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/popper.js/1.12.9/umd/popper.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.0.0/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.0/min/dropzone.min.css">
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.0/dropzone.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <h2>Laravel 7/6 Upload Image Using Dropzone Tutorial</h2><br/>
      <form method="post" action="{{url('dropzone/store')}}" enctype="multipart/form-data"
          class="dropzone" id="dropzone">
        @csrf
    </form>
    </div>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        Dropzone.options.dropzone =
        {
            maxFilesize: 10,
            renameFile: function (file) {
                var dt = new Date();
                var time = dt.getTime();
                return time + file.name;
            },
            acceptedFiles: ".jpeg,.jpg,.png,.gif",
            addRemoveLinks: true,
            timeout: 60000,
            success: function (file, response) {
                console.log(response);
            },
            error: function (file, response) {
                return false;
            }
        };
    </script>
  </body>
</html>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html>

<head>

<title>Laravel Upload Image Using Dropzone Tutorial</title>

</head>

<body>

<h2>Laravel 7/6 Upload Image Using Dropzone Tutorial</h2><br/>

<form method="post" action="{{url('dropzone/store')}}" enctype="multipart/form-data"

class="dropzone" id="dropzone">

@csrf

</form>

</div>

Dropzone.options.dropzone =

{

maxFilesize: 10,

renameFile: function (file) {

var dt = new Date();

var time = dt.getTime();

return time + file.name;

acceptedFiles: ".jpeg,.jpg,.png,.gif",

addRemoveLinks: true,

timeout: 60000,

success: function (file, response) {

console.log(response);

error: function (file, response) {

return false;

}

};

</script>

</body>

</html>

In the above view blade file, we necessary to include dropzone js and CSS. Here we are going to use CDN js and CSS of dropzone in laravel.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.0/min/dropzone.min.css">
   <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.0/dropzone.js"></script>

1 2	<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.0/min/dropzone.min.css"> <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropzone/5.5.0/dropzone.js"></script>

Step 6: Start Development Server

Now we are ready to run our example so lets start the development server using following artisan command –

php artisan serve

1	php artisan serve

Now, open the following URL in browser to see the output –

http://localhost:8000/image

 Or direct hit in your browser

 http://localhost/laravelDropzone/public/image

http://localhost:8000/image

Or direct hit in your browser

http://localhost/laravelDropzone/public/image
