Laravel file upload with validation example

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 17:41:25 +0000

Prerequisites and Initial Setup

A Laravel 6 or later version (up to Laravel 10) application.
Basic knowledge of Laravel routing and Blade directives.

Creating the File Upload Form

Step 1: Create the form view at resources/views/form-view.blade.php and paste the following content:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
 <meta charset="utf-8">
 <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
 <title>Laravel File Upload Example</title>
 <link href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.2/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet"
 integrity="sha384-T3c6CoIi6uLrA9TneNEoa7RxnatzjcDSCmG1MXxSR1GAsXEV/Dwwykc2MPK8M2HN" crossorigin="anonymous">
</head>

<body>
 <div class="container py-4" style="max-width: 768px;">
 <h1>Laravel file upload example</h1>
 <form method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="mb-3">
 @csrf

 <div class="mb-3">
 <label for="fileInput" class="form-label">Upload a Photo</label>
 <input type="file" class="form-control @error('photo') is-invalid @enderror" id="fileInput"
 name="photo">
 @error('photo')
 <div class="invalid-feedback">
 {{ $message }}
 </div>
 @enderror
 </div>

 <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">Upload</button>
 </form>

 {{-- Display the uploaded files --}}
 @if (session('files'))
 <div>
 <h3>Uploaded Files</h3>
 <a href="{{ session('files') }}" target="_blank">{{ session('files') }}</a>
 </div>
 @endif
 </div>
</body>

</html>

In the above added the HTML I’m using Bootstrap to keep things simple and show some validation states. The form contains enctype="multipart/form-data" and method="POST" attributes which allow sending file uploads to the server.
The Form also includes @csrf injecting the CSRF token that is required by Laravel’s VerifyCsrfToken for CSRF Protection.
The input field contains @error a directive to show any validation errors and the attribute name="photo" allows you to refer to the file on the server for processing.
Lastly, the @if directive to show the path of the uploaded file. Which will be added from the controller.
Note: We’re not adding required attribute on input filed. Because we want to test the backend validation too. So, for the production environment, you can the required attribute to enable native frontend validation.

Tip: in the above input field you can add an attribute accept="image/*" or anything else that is required. For example, if you want to restrict the file uploads to only PDF and Doc files then you could use accept="application/pdf,application/docx".

Enhancing SEO: Next.js Markdown, Dynamic Sitemaps, and Meta

Sat, 19 Feb 2022 10:14:26 +0000

This is a follow-up post to my previous post on Adding code syntax highlighting . If you want to follow up with this post you can find source code at this GitHub Revision .

Problem statement

As you may know that this blog was started based on the Learn Next.js Tutorial. That guide has already provided an excellent explanation of SEO. But the blog is missing SEO because it’s a Markdown-only blog. So based on that, I’ve prepared the following list of features I want at least for now:

Adding code syntax highlighting to Next.js Markdown blog

Tue, 15 Feb 2022 10:14:26 +0000

This is the follow-up to my previous post about adding ToC support to NextJs blog . To follow along with this post you can check out the source code from this GitHub Revision .

Problem statement

One of the very important feature of any tech blog is code syntax highlighting. Browsers by default doesn’t support code highlighting other than just very basic different font-family.

Solution

Since, I’m using Markdown as my way to write the blogs and have already using unified.js ecosystem to work along with Next.js. Luckily, unified ecosystem already has code highlighting plug-in which uses highlight.js through lowlight.js.

Adding Table of Contents (TOC) to Next.js Markdown blog

Mon, 14 Feb 2022 10:14:26 +0000

This is the follow-up to my previous post about adding categories support . To follow with this post you can check out the source code from this GitHub Revision .

Problem Statement

Just converting Markdown to HTML is not enough. We could add the table of content manually but for every change, it would require manual updates each time and possibly can break old links if not maintained correctly.

Solution

As you can see in to that I’m already using rmark-html to convert Markdown to HTML. remark-html is package from unified.js. Similar to remark-html, unified.js also have other packages the ecosystem. So for our case we will be using remark-toc.

Adding categories to Next.js Markdown blog

Sat, 12 Feb 2022 10:14:26 +0000

After following the learn Next.js tutorial , I have code similar to this GitHub Revision . This post is about adding a categories feature for my blog.

Problem statement

If you run the application shared on this GitHub Revision you’ll see no blog categories. One of the well-known ways to organize blog content is by categorizing each blog. So, the following is the list of requirements I came up with for adding the categories feature to my blog.
