Trying to build my upload images part of my site and wanted to use blueimp/jQuery-File-Upload instead of hardcoding everything from scratch. However I am new too all that, could you tell me HOW to integrate that plugin with my Laravel structure ?
Where do I put all the files ? In vendors folder ? Or should I split all the folders and put their js folder in mine etc???
If you know a tutorial it is even better... Couldn't find anything good with google.
Thanks
You can try this code I'm posting to help others.
The first step is to define the upload page and upload handling Routes, like this:
Route::get('image_', function() {
return View::make('image.upload-form');
});
Route::post('image_updade', 'ImageController@postUpload');
Make your image.upload-form view something like this (I'm using simple HTML, not a Blade template):
<?php echo Form::open(array('url' => 'image_updade', 'files' => true, 'id' => 'myForm')) ?>
Name: <input type='file' name='image' id='myFile'/>
<br/>
Comment: <textarea name='comment'></textarea>
<br/>
<input type='submit' value='Submit Comment' />
<?php echo Form::close() ?>
Now you need to add the JavaScript files in that view page's <HEAD> tag:
<script src='http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.js'></script>
<script src='http://malsup.github.com/jquery.form.js'></script>
<script>
// Wait for the DOM to be loaded
$(document).ready(function() {
// Bind 'myForm' and provide a simple callback function
$('#myForm').ajaxForm(function() {
alert('Thank you for your comment!');
});
$('#myFile').change(function() {
$('#myForm').submit();
});
});
</script>
Finally, here's a simple example of code for the ImageController@postUpload controller to get the uploaded file, and move it to a destination folder:
<?php
class ImageController extends BaseController {
public function getUploadForm() {
return View::make('image/upload-form');
}
public function postUpload() {
$file = Input::file('image');
$input = array('image' => $file);
$rules = array( 'image' => 'image');
$validator = Validator::make($input, $rules);
if ( $validator->fails() ){
return Response::json(['success' => false, 'errors' => $validator->getMessageBag()->toArray()]);
}
else {
$destinationPath = 'files/';
$filename = $file->getClientOriginalName();
Input::file('image')->move($destinationPath, $filename);
return Response::json(['success' => true, 'file' => asset($destinationPath.$filename)]);
}
}
}
