To upload a folder in Laravel, you can use the Storage facade which provides a simple way to work with files and folders in Laravel. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to upload a folder in Laravel:
- Create a form in your view file which allows users to select a folder to upload:
1 2 3 4 5 |
<form action="{{ route('uploadFolder') }}" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
@csrf
<input type="file" name="folder" directory webkitdirectory />
<button type="submit">Upload Folder</button>
</form>
|
- Create a route to handle the form submission and process the upload in your routes/web.php file:
1
|
Route::post('/upload-folder', 'FolderController@uploadFolder')->name('uploadFolder');
|
- Create a controller to handle the folder upload process using the store method in your FolderController.php file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 |
use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;
public function uploadFolder(Request $request)
{
$folderPath = $request->file('folder')->store('uploaded_folders');
return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Folder uploaded successfully.');
}
|
- Make sure to add the appropriate disk configuration in your config/filesystems.php file:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
'disks' => [
'local' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app'),
],
'public' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
]
|
- Make sure to create a storage link by running the following command in your terminal:
1
|
php artisan storage:link |
Now, users should be able to upload a folder by selecting it in the form, and the folder will be stored in the specified directory on the server.
