In step 3, open command prompt and navigate to your project by using the following command:

cd / Laravel8LivewireMultipleImageUpload

  • Laravel8LivewireMultipleImageUpload/app/Models/Image.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;

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

class Image extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;

    protected $fillable = [
        'title'
    ];

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('contacts', function (Blueprint $table) {

            $table->string('title');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

Now, open again your terminal and type the following command on cmd to create tables into your selected database:

php artisan migrate

Route::get('livewire-multiple-image-upload', MultipleImageUpload::class);

resources/views/livewire/multiple-image-upload.blade.php

So, open MultipleImageUpload.php, which is located inside app/http/Livewire directory and add the following code into it:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

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

class MultipleImageUpload extends Component
{
    use WithFileUploads;

    public $images = [];

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.home');
    }

    public function store()
    {
        $this->validate([
            'images.*' => 'image|max:1024', // 1MB Max
        ]);

        foreach ($this->images as $key => $image) {
            $this->images[$key] = $image->store('images','public');
        }

        $this->images = json_encode($this->images);

        Image::create(['title' => $this->images]);

        session()->flash('message', 'Images has been successfully Uploaded.');

        return redirect()->to('/livewire-multiple-image-upload');
    }
}

Next, open multiple-image-upload.blade.php, which is located inside resources/views/livewire/ directory and add the following code into it:

<div>
    <form>
        <div class=" add-input">
            <div class="row">
                <div class="col-md-12">
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <input type="file" class="form-control" wire:model="images" multiple>
                        @error('image.*') <span class="text-danger error">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
                    </div>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-12 text-center">
                    <button class="btn text-white btn-success" wire:click.prevent="store">Save</button>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </form>
</div>

Step 7 – Create Blade View

In step 7, Navigate resources/views/livewire directory and create home.blade.php. Then add the following code into it:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
