Laravel 11 Ajax CRUD with Image Upload Example

In this tutorial, we’ll learn how to implement a CRUD application in Laravel 11 with AJAX for smooth data interaction and image upload functionality. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a solid understanding of how to create, read, update, and delete records while seamlessly uploading images using Laravel’s powerful features.

Prerequisites:

• Basic knowledge of Laravel.
• Composer installed on your machine.
• Understanding of AJAX and CRUD operations.

Technologies Used:

• Laravel 11
• AJAX
• JavaScript
• MySQL
• Bootstrap (optional for styling)

Step 1: Setting Up Laravel 11 Project

Start by creating a new Laravel project:

composer create-project laravel/laravel ajax-crud-image-upload "11.*" --prefer-dist

Step 2: Database Configuration

Set up your database credentials in the .env file and migrate the database:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Create Model, Migration, and Controller

Generate a model, migration, and controller for your resource (e.g., Product):

php artisan make:model Product -m
php artisan make:controller ProductController

Define the database schema in the migration file and the necessary CRUD methods in the controller.

Step 4: Create Routes

Define routes for CRUD operations in routes/web.php.

Step 5: Implement AJAX Functionality

Use AJAX to handle CRUD operations without page reloads. Create JavaScript functions to send AJAX requests to the Laravel backend.

Step 6: Image Upload Handling

Add image upload functionality to your form. Use Laravel’s file upload handling capabilities to store the image in the appropriate directory.

Step 7: Create Views

Design your frontend views using Blade templates and Bootstrap (optional) for styling.

Step 8: Test Your Application

Test your CRUD operations and image upload functionality to ensure everything works as expected.

Conclusion:

Congratulations! You’ve successfully built an AJAX CRUD application with image upload functionality in Laravel 11. This application demonstrates the power and flexibility of Laravel for creating dynamic web applications with seamless user interactions.
