To resize an image before uploading it in Laravel, you can use the Intervention Image library. Intervention Image is an open-source PHP image handling and manipulation library that provides an easy-to-use API for image resizing.
Step 1:Intervention Image Package
composer require intervention/image
Step 2: Create Routes
routes/web.php
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use App\Http\Controllers\ImageController;
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| 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::controller(ImageController::class)->group(function(){
Route::get('image-upload', 'index');
Route::post('image-upload', 'store')->name('image.store');
});
Step 3: Create Controller
php artisan make:controller ImageController
app/Http/Controllers/ImageController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Image;
use Illuminate\View\View;
use Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse;
class ImageController extends Controller
{
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function index(): View
{
return view('imageUpload');
}
/**
* Display a listing of the resource.
*
* @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
*/
public function store(Request $request): RedirectResponse
{
$this->validate($request, [
'image' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
]);
$image = $request->file('image');
$imageName = time().'.'.$image->extension();
$destinationPathThumbnail = public_path('/thumbnail');
$img = Image::make($image->path());
$img->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
$constraint->aspectRatio();
})->save($destinationPathThumbnail.'/'.$imageName);
$destinationPath = public_path('/images');
$image->move($destinationPath, $imageName);
return back()
->with('success','Image Upload successful')
->with('imageName',$imageName);
}
}
Step 4: View File and Create Upload directory
resources/views/imageUpload.blade.php
