routes/web.php

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

use App\Http\Controllers\DropzoneController;

/*

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| 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('dropzone', [DropzoneController::class, 'dropzone']);

Route::post('dropzone/store', [DropzoneController::class, 'dropzoneStore'])->name('dropzone.store');

Step 2: Create Controller

In this step we will add two method on DropzoneController that way we can handle two route with image upload code. So, if you haven't created DropzoneController then create new as bellow, or add two method.

You have to also create new images folder in your public folder for store image.

app/Http/Controllers/DropzoneController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class DropzoneController extends Controller

{

/**

* Generate Image upload View

*

* @return void

*/

public function dropzone()

{

return view('dropzone-view');

}

/**

* Image Upload Code

*

* @return void

*/

public function dropzoneStore(Request $request)

{

$image = $request->file('file');

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

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

return response()->json(['success'=>$imageName]);

}

}

Step 3: Add Blade File

At last step we have to create dropzone-view.blade.php file in your resources directory. in this file i write code of image uploading using dropzone.js, so let's create new blade file and put bellow code:

resources/views/dropzone-view.blade.php
