Laravel 11 CKeditor Image Upload Example

By Hardik Savani May 14, 2024 Category : Laravel

In this post, I will show you how to image upload with CKEditor in laravel 11 application.

CKEditor is a web-based, open-source WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor that allows users to edit text content in a browser. It is a powerful tool that enables users to create and format text, add images and multimedia, and edit HTML code without any knowledge of coding. CKEditor was first released in 2003 and has since become a popular choice for web developers and content creators due to its versatility and ease of use. It is written in JavaScript and can be integrated into any web application with ease.

In this example, we will create a simple CKEditor instance with an image upload option that saves the image to local storage. We will set up two routes, one for GET and one for POST requests (for image uploads). Once the user selects an image and submits it, the image will be stored in the 'media' folder.

So, let's see below the steps to getting done with image upload in CKEditor Laravel.

Step 3: Create Controller

Make sure you have created media folder in your public directory because images will store on that folder.

so let's update follow code:

app/Http/Controllers/CkeditorController.php

<?php
    
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
    
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\JsonResponse;
    
class CkeditorController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index(): View
    {
        return view('ckeditor');
    }
    
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function upload(Request $request): JsonResponse
    {
        if ($request->hasFile('upload')) {
            $originName = $request->file('upload')->getClientOriginalName();
            $fileName = pathinfo($originName, PATHINFO_FILENAME);
            $extension = $request->file('upload')->getClientOriginalExtension();
            $fileName = $fileName . '_' . time() . '.' . $extension;
      
            $request->file('upload')->move(public_path('media'), $fileName);
      
            $url = asset('media/' . $fileName);
  
            return response()->json(['fileName' => $fileName, 'uploaded'=> 1, 'url' => $url]);
        }
    }
}

Step 4: Create View File

In Last step, let's create ckeditor.blade.php for display form with CkEditor and put following code:

resources/views/ckeditor.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel Ckeditor Image Upload Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</title>

    }
    </style>
</head>

                    <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" placeholder="Title" value="{{ old('title') }}">
                </div>
          
                <div class="form-group">
                    <strong>Slug:</strong>
                    <input type="text" name="slug" class="form-control" placeholder="Slug" value="{{ old('slug') }}">
                </div>

                <div class="form-group mt-2">
                    <button class="btn btn-success" type="submit">Submit</button>
                </div>
          
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
     
<script src="https://cdn.ckeditor.com/ckeditor5/34.2.0/classic/ckeditor.js"></script>
<script>
    ClassicEditor
        .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ),{
            ckfinder: {
                uploadUrl: '{{route('ckeditor.upload').'?_token='.csrf_token()}}',
