How to update image with AJAX in Laravel

Many times we need to update or upload profile image, or any images without refreshing the page, so there we will use AJAX.

Step 1: Install Laravel via composer

First of all we need to install laravel via composer using the below command.

composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-ajax

After installation go to your project directory. In my case my project directory name is laravel-ajax so i am going to this directory by cd laravel-ajax.

Step 2: Create Routes 

Open web.php file and create routes

laravel-ajax\routes\web.php

use App\Http\Controllers\UserController;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route; 

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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('/',[UserController::class,'index'])->name('index');
Route::post('add-user',[UserController::class,'add_user'])->name('add-user');
Route::post('update-image',[UserController::class,'update_image'])->name('update-image');

Step 3 – Create Model

Create User model run below command in your terminal

php artisan make:model User

 laravel-ajax\app\Models\User.php

<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class User extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'profile',
        'password',
    ]; 
}

Step 4- Make controller 

Create a controller using the below command in your terminal. 

php artisan make:controller UserController

laravel-ajax\ app\ Http\ Controllers\ UserController.php

<?php 
namespace App\Http\Controllers; 
use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Http\Request; 
class UserController extends Controller
{ 
    public function index(){
        $users = User::all();
        return view('index',compact('users'));
    } 
    public function add_user(Request $request){
        $img_name = 'img_'.time().'.'.$request->profile->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $request->profile->move(public_path('img/'), $img_name);
        $imagePath = 'img/'.$img_name; 
        $data = [
            'name'=>$request->name,
            'profile'=>$imagePath,
            'email'=>$request->email,
            'password'=>$request->password,
        ]; 
        $add = User::create($data); 
        if($add){
            $response['success'] = true;
            $response['message'] = 'Success! Record Added Successfully.';
        }else{
            $response['success'] = false;
            $response['message'] = 'Error! Record Not Added.';
        }
        return $response; 
    } 
    public function update_image(Request $request){
        $img_name = 'img_'.time().'.'.$request->profile->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $request->profile->move(public_path('img/'), $img_name);
        $imagePath = 'img/'.$img_name;
        $data = [
            'profile'=>$imagePath,
        ]; 
        $update = User::find($request->user_id)->update($data); 
        if($update){
            $response['success'] = true;
            $response['message'] = 'Success! Record Updated Successfully.';
        }else{
            $response['success'] = false;
            $response['message'] = 'Error! Record Not Updated.';
        }
        return $response;
    }
}

Step 5- Create blade file

Create index.blade.php file

laravel-ajax\ resources\ views\ index.blade.php

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

<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

    <title>Laravel-ajax</title>
    <style>
        body {
            background: rgb(174, 182, 255);
        }

        .profileImg img {
            height: 150px;
            max-width: 200px;

        }
    </style>
</head>

<body>
