Laravel 11 Add Photo Validation Rules Example

Laravel ·

Teams applying “Laravel 11 Add Photo Validation Rules Example” in a production project can use the related Monitask article to record implementation, review and debugging time, then compare that effort with tests and shipped functionality instead of treating activity as performance by itself.

Before copying the example into a live application, confirm version-specific behaviour with the official Laravel website and test it against the project’s actual database and runtime.

Hi, Dev

In this post, I'll demonstrate how to use image validation rules in a Laravel 11 application. Laravel offers default image validation rules such as image, mimes, max, min, and dimensions.

Using Laravel default validation rules you can set file type like "jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg", using max you can set limit of file size. using dimensions you can set file height and width limit. so, let's see the following simple example code:

Step for Laravel 11 Validation Rules for Image and Photo


Step 1: Install Laravel 11

Step 2: Create Controller

Step 3: Create Routes

Step 4: Create Blade File

Run Laravel App

Step 1: Install Laravel 11

This step is not required; 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: Create Controller

In this step, we will create a new ImageController; in this file, we will add two method index() and store() for render view and store image logic.

Let's create ImageController by following command:

php artisan make:controller ImageController

next, let's update the following code to Controller File.

app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php 

<?php

  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;

  
class ImageController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function index(): View
    {
        return view('imageUpload');
    }

        
    /**
     * Display a listing of the resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'image' => [
                        'required',
                        'image',
                        'mimes:jpg,png,jpeg,gif,svg',
                        'dimensions:min_width=100,min_height=100,max_width=1000,max_height=1000',
                        'max:2048'
                       ],
        ]);

        
        $imageName = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();  

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

      
        /* 
            Write Code Here for
            Store $imageName name in DATABASE from HERE 
        */

        
        return back()->with('success', 'You have successfully upload image.')
                     ->with('image', $imageName); 
    }
}

Step 3: Create Routes

Furthermore, open routes/web.php file and add the routes to manage GET and POST requests for render view and store image logic.

routes/web.php 

<?php

  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

  
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;

  
Route::controller(ImageController::class)->group(function(){
    Route::get('image-upload', 'index');
    Route::post('image-upload', 'store')->name('image.store');
});

Step 4: Create Blade File

At last step we need to create imageUpload.blade.php file and in this file we will create form with file input button. So copy bellow and put on that file.

resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php

            <form action="{{ route('image.store') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
