Recently, I have been working on a project where I need to upload multiple image files using Vue JS in conjunction with Laravel on the server side.
This is the snippet from my Vue template:
<input type="file" id = "file" ref="file" v-on:change="onImageChange" multiple />
Below is the JavaScript code I've implemented:
<script>
export default {
data(){
return{
product: {},
image: '',
}
},
created() {
let uri = `/api/product/edit/${this.$route.params.id}`;
this.axios.get(uri).then((response) => {
this.product = response.data;
});
},
methods:{
// Function to handle image changes
onImageChange(e){
let files = e.target.files || e.dataTransfer.files;
if (!files.length)
return;
this.createImage(files[0]);
},
createImage(file){
let reader = new FileReader();
let vm = this;
reader.onload = (e) => {
vm.image = e.target.result;
};
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
},
replaceByDefault(e) {
e.target.src = this.src='/uploads/products/default_image.jpg';
},
saveImage(e){
e.preventDefault()
var file = document.getElementById('file').files;
let formData = new FormData;
formData.append('productId', this.product.id)
formData.append('file', file[0])
axios.post('/api/product/image/add', formData, {
headers: {'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'}
}).then((response) => {
this.$router.push({name: 'view',params: { id: this.product.id }});
});
}
}
}
</script>
I came across a resource online that mentioned looping through formData.append in Vue, but I'm unsure how to retrieve this data on the server side. Below is an excerpt from my ProductController:
$saveImage = new Gallery;
$saveImage->product_id = $request->productId;
$file = request()->file('file');
$file_name = time().$file->getClientOriginalName();
$path = $imgUpload = Image::make($file)->save(public_path('/uploads/products/' . $file_name));
$saveImage->path = '/uploads/products/'.$file_name;
$saveImage->status = 1;
$saveImage->save();
return "success";
Appreciate any guidance you can provide!
