In this tutorial im going to describe how to upload image in larvel with Ajax example. Please follow mentioned below.

First let’s go to install laravel project

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel ajaximage

lets go to .env folder and put database name and connect to database.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=ajax-image
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Nex to Create ajax_images Table and Model

php artisan make:migration create_ajax_image_tabel

Next go to ajaximage table and paste below code.

<?php

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

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

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

Now we require to run migration be bellow command:

php artisan migrate

Now table has been successfully migrated to database.

Next to create model run below code

php artisan make:model AjaxImage

Go to your model file and paste below code.

<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class AjaxImage extends Model
{
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'title', 'image'
    ];
}

Step 4: Create Route

In this is step we need to create route for ajax image upload layout file and another one for post request. so open your routes/web.php file and add following route.

routes/web.php

Route::get('ajaxImageUpload', 'AjaxImageUploadController@ajaxImageUpload');
Route::post('ajaxImageUpload', 'AjaxImageUploadController@ajaxImageUploadPost')->name('ajaxImageUpload');

Step 5: Create Controller

php artisan make:controller AjaxImageUploadController

Next go to AjaxImageUploadController and paste below code.

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Validator;
use App\AjaxImage;

class AjaxImageUploadController extends Controller
{
	/**
     * Show the application ajaxImageUpload.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function ajaxImageUpload()
    {
    	return view('ajaxImageUpload');
    }

    /**
     * Show the application ajaxImageUploadPost.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function ajaxImageUploadPost(Request $request)
    {
      $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
        'title' => 'required',
        'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
      ]);


      if ($validator->passes()) {


        $input = $request->all();
        $input['image'] = time().'.'.$request->image->extension();
        $request->image->move(public_path('images'), $input['image']);


        AjaxImage::create($input);


        return response()->json(['success'=>'done']);
      }


      return response()->json(['error'=>$validator->errors()->all()]);
    }
}

Next to create view

resources/views/ajaxImageUpload.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<title>LaravelAmit - Ajax Image Uploading Tutorial</title>
	<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
	<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
	<script src="http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js"></script>
</head>
<body>


<div class="container">
  <h1>Laravel  Ajax Image Uploading Tutorial</h1>


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


  	<div class="alert alert-danger print-error-msg" style="display:none">
        <ul></ul>
    </div>


    <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">


    <div class="form-group">
      <label>Alt Title:</label>
      <input type="text" name="title" class="form-control" placeholder="Add Title">
    </div>


	<div class="form-group">
      <label>Image:</label>
      <input type="file" name="image" class="form-control">
    </div>


    <div class="form-group">
      <button class="btn btn-success upload-image" type="submit">Upload Image</button>
    </div>


  </form>


</div>


<script type="text/javascript">
  $("body").on("click",".upload-image",function(e){
    $(this).parents("form").ajaxForm(options);
  });


  var options = { 
    complete: function(response) 
    {
    	if($.isEmptyObject(response.responseJSON.error)){
    		$("input[name='title']").val('');
    		alert('Image Upload Successfully.');
    	}else{
    		printErrorMsg(response.responseJSON.error);
    	}
    }
  };


  function printErrorMsg (msg) {
	$(".print-error-msg").find("ul").html('');
	$(".print-error-msg").css('display','block');
	$.each( msg, function( key, value ) {
		$(".print-error-msg").find("ul").append('<li>'+value+'</li>');
	});
  }
</script>


</body>
</html>

Now go to your terminal and paste below code.

php artisan serve

Now go to phpmyadmin and check table data has been store successfully.
