Laravel 10,Laravel provides built-in support for handling file uploads, making it simple to implement file upload functionality in your application.
Step 1: Install Laravel App
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-FileUpload
Step 2: Create Controller
php artisan make:controller FileController
app/Http/Controllers/FileController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
class FileController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index(): View
{
return view('fileUpload');
}
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
{
$request->validate([
'file' => 'required|mimes:pdf,xlx,csv|max:2048',
]);
$fileName = time().'.'.$request->file->extension();
$request->file->move(public_path('uploads'), $fileName);
if ($request->file('file')){
$fileName = time().rand(1,99).'.'.$file->extension();
$file->move(public_path('uploads'), $fileName);
$file= $fileName;
File::create($file);
}
return back()
->with('success','You have successfully upload file.')
->with('file', $fileName);
}
}
Store File in Storage Folder
$request->file->storeAs('uploads', $fileName);
// storage/app/uploads/file.png
Store File in Public Folder
$request->file->move(public_path('uploads'), $fileName);
// public/uploads/file.png
Store File in S3
$request->file->storeAs('uploads', $fileName, 's3');
Step 3: Create and Add Routes
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\FileController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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-upload', [FileController::class, 'index']);
Route::post('file-upload', [FileController::class, 'store'])->name('file.store');
Step 4: Create Blade File
resources/views/fileUpload.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>

</div>
<div class="panel-body">
@if ($message = Session::get('success'))
<div class="alert alert-success alert-block">

</div>
@endif
<form action="{{ route('file.store') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@csrf
<div class="mb-3">
<label class="form-label" for="inputFile">File:</label>
<input
type="file"
name="file"
id="inputFile"
class="form-control @error('file') is-invalid @enderror">
@error('file')
<span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span>
@enderror
</div>
<div class="mb-3">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Upload</button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Run Laravel App:
php artisan serve
Now, Go to web browser, type the given URL and see the output:
http://localhost:8000/file-upload
