Laravel Installation

Open terminal and run this command to create a laravel project.

composer create-project laravel/laravel myblog

It will create a project folder with name myblog inside your local system.

To start the development server of laravel –

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Assuming laravel already installed inside your system.

Create Database & Connect

To create a database, either we can create via Manual tool of PhpMyadmin or by means of a mysql command.

CREATE DATABASE laravel_app;

To connect database with application, Open .env file from application root. Search for DB_ and update your details.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel_app
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=root

Create Model & Migration

Open project into terminal and run this artisan command to create a model with a migration file.

$ php artisan make:model File -m

It will create two files –

Model file File.php inside /app/Models folder
Migration file 2022_04_14_135930_create_files_table.php inside /database/migrations

Open Migration file 2022_04_14_135930_create_files_table.php and write this complete code into it.

<?php

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

return new class extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('files', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->id();
            $table->string('title', 50);
            $table->string('file', 220);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('files');
    }
};

Open File.php model file and write this complete code into it.

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class File extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title', 'file'
    ];
}

Run Migration

Back to terminal and run this command.

$ php artisan migrate

It will create files table inside database.

Livewire Package Installation

Back to terminal and run this composer command to install livewire into application.

$ composer require livewire/livewire

It will install livewire package into application.

Next,

We need to create livewire component.

Create Livewire Components

Run this artisan command to create livewire components.

$ php artisan make:livewire file-upload

It will create these files –

CLASS: /app/Http/Livewire/FileUpload.php
VIEW: /resources/views/livewire/file-upload.blade.php

Open FileUpload.php and write this complete code into it.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\File;
use Livewire\WithFileUploads;

class FileUpload extends Component
{
    use WithFileUploads;

    public $file, $title;

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.file-upload');
    }

    public function submit()
    {
        $validatedData = $this->validate([
            'title' => 'required',
            'file' => 'required',
        ]);
  
        $validatedData['file'] = $this->file->store('files', 'public');
  
        File::create($validatedData);
  
        session()->flash('message', 'File successfully Uploaded.');
    }
}

$this->file->store(‘files’, ‘public’); This will store uploaded file inside /storage/app/public/files. Also it will create a livewire-tmp folder inside /storage/app.

Open file-upload.blade.php and write this complete code into it.

<div>
    <form wire:submit.prevent="submit" enctype="multipart/form-data">
  
        <div>
            @if(session()->has('message'))
                <div class="alert alert-success">
                    {{ session('message') }}
                </div>
            @endif
        </div>
      
        <div class="form-group">
            <label for="exampleInputName">Title:</label>
            <input type="text" class="form-control" id="exampleInputName" placeholder="Enter title" wire:model="title">
            @error('title') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
        </div>
        <div class="form-group">
            <label for="exampleInputFile">File:</label>
            <input type="file" class="form-control" id="exampleInputFile" wire:model="file">
            @error('name') <span class="text-danger">{{ $message }}</span> @enderror
        </div>
      
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Save</button>
    </form>
</div>

Create Blade Layout File

Create a file with name layout.blade.php into /resources/views folder.

Open layout.blade.php and write this complete code into it.

<!DOCTYPE html>
