Hello Friends,
In this tutorial, I will show you how to upload an image in the registration form in laravel. This tutorial will give you a simple example of a laravel avatar upload in the registration form. a step-by-step explanation of how to upload a profile image of a user in laravel. This post will give you a simple example of uploading an avatar in laravel registration. You need to do a laravel registration with an image upload.
If you want to upload pictures when the user registers in laravel. Then I will show you a step-by-step example of how to upload images in the registration form in laravel. In this example, we will install laravel ui for user authentication. Then we will add a new column avatar to store the image path. So, let's see the below steps:
You can use this example with the versions of laravel 6, laravel 7, laravel 8, and laravel 9.
Step 1: Install Laravel
This is optional; however, if you have not created the laravel app, then you may go ahead and execute the below command:
composer create-project laravel/laravel example-app
Step 2: Setup Database Configuration
After successfully installing the laravel app then configuring the database setup. We will open the ".env" file and change the database name, username and password in the env file.
.env
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name
DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username
DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password
Step 3: Install Auth Scaffold
Laravel's laravel/ui package provides a quick way to scaffold all of the routes and views you need for authentication using a few simple commands:
composer requires laravel/ui
Next, we need to generate auth scaffold with bootstrap, so let's run the below command:
php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
Then, install npm packages using the below command:
npm install
At last, built bootstrap CSS using the below command:
npm run build
Step 4: Create Migration
In this step, we need to create a new migration to add the avatar field to the user's table. so let's run the below code and run migration.
php artisan make:migration add_new_fields_users
database/migrations/2022_11_24_110854_add_new_fields_users.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
return new class extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->string('avatar')->nullable();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::table('users', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->dropColumn('avatar');
});
}
};
Now, run migration with the following command:
php artisan migrate
Next, update the User.php model file.
app/Models/User.php
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
/**
* The attributes that are mass assignable.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $fillable = [
'name',
'email',
'password',
'avatar',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $hidden = [
'password',
'remember_token',
];
/**
* The attributes that should be cast.
*
* @var array
*/
protected $casts = [
'email_verified_at' => 'DateTime',
];
}
Step 5: Update Blade File
In this step, we will update the register blade file. in this file, we will add file input for profile picture upload. so let's update the following file:
resources/views/auth/register.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">{{ __('Register') }}</div>
<div class="card-body">
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('register') }}" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@csrf
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="name" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Name') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="name" type="text" class="form-control @error('name') is-invalid @enderror" name="name" value="{{ old('name') }}" required autocomplete="name" autofocus>
@error('name')
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
</span>
@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="email" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Email Address') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="email" type="email" class="form-control @error('email') is-invalid @enderror" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}" required autocomplete="email">
@error('email')
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
</span>
@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="avatar" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Avatar') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="avatar" type="file" class="form-control @error('avatar') is-invalid @enderror" name="avatar" value="{{ old('avatar') }}" required autocomplete="avatar">
@error('avatar')
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
</span>
@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="password" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Password') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="password" type="password" class="form-control @error('password') is-invalid @enderror" name="password" required autocomplete="new-password">
@error('password')
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
</span>
@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="password-confirm" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-end">{{ __('Confirm Password') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="password-confirm" type="password" class="form-control" name="password_confirmation" required autocomplete="new-password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-0">
<div class="col-md-6 offset-md-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
{{ __('Register') }}
</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
Step 6: Update RegisterController Controller
Here, we will update RegisterController with validator() and create() method. the image will store in the avatar folder in public. so let's copy the below code and add it to the controller file:
app/Http/Controllers/Auth/RegisterController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\RegistersUsers;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class RegisterController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Register Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles the registration of new users as well as their
| validation and creation. By default, this controller uses a trait to
| provide this functionality without requiring any additional code.
|
*/
use RegistersUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after registration.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest');
}
/**
* Get a validator for an incoming registration request.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Validation\Validator
*/
protected function validator(array $data)
{
return Validator::make($data, [
'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
'avatar' => ['image'],
'email' => ['required', 'string', 'email', 'max:255', 'unique:users'],
'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
]);
}
/**
* Create a new user instance after a valid registration.
*
* @param array $data
* @return \App\Models\User
*/
protected function create(array $data)
{
if(request()->hasfile('avatar')){
$avatarName = time().'.'.request()->avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
request()->avatar->move(public_path('avatars'), $avatarName);
}
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'avatar' => $avatarName ?? NULL,
'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),
]);
}
}
