Step 1 : Setup Amazone S3 bucket

Here we first create an account in third-party service called Amazon S3.

  • Now you have successfully created a bucket now you can use this bucket to store files here now we need to create a user for this.

Step 2 : Create User

You need to create a user and assign to this bucket

For this Amazon is providing IAM (Identity and Access Management) so you can search this in services pool or directly click here

  • You will see the screen like this. Click on “Add User” from this screen.

  • From this page download Download.csv file it will contain your “AWS Access Key Id & Secret Key”.

Now you are done with the setup of Amazon s3 bucket now we are a move to the Laravel Setup.

Step 3 : Laravel setup

Here we will install the fresh laravel

So First, Let’s create a new project by running this command in terminal

composer create-project laravel/laravel laravel-amazon-s3-upload

This will create a project named “laravel-amazon-s3-upload” in your project directory.

Open your .env file from the root and add the values of this parameter and also add the database parameters.

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID={Add key here}
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY={Add key here}
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION={Add region here ex. ap-south-1}
AWS_BUCKET={Add bucket name here}

Step 4 : Create Table

Here we create a table to store uploaded image info.

We will create a table named “upload_images” and will store images information there and for that, we will run this command in terminal.

php artisan make:migration upload_images

This command will generate migration file and will edit that file and add the attribute in that file and after that file will look like this.

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class UploadImages extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
         Schema::create('upload_images', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('image_name');
            $table->string('image_path');
            $table->double('image_size', 8)->default(0);
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('upload_images');
    }
}

Step 5 : Run Migration

php artisan migrate

This will create a table in your database.

Step 6 : Laravel Authentication (Optional)

php artisan make:auth

Step 7 : Create Model

Create a model name “UploadImages”

php artisan make:model UploadImage -m

This command will create a model of “UploadImage” model.

After adding the code this file will look like this.

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class UploadImage extends Model
{
    /* Fillable */
    protected $fillable = [
        'image_name', 'image_path', 'image_size'
    ];
    /* @array $appends */

    public $appends = ['url', 'uploaded_time', 'size_in_kb'];

    public function getUrlAttribute()
    {
        return Storage::disk('s3')->url($this->image_path);
    }

    public function getUploadedTimeAttribute()
    {
        return $this->created_at->diffForHumans();
    }

    public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo(User::class);
    }

    public function getSizeInKbAttribute()
    {
        return round($this->image_size / 1024, 2);
    }

    public static function boot()
    {
        parent::boot();
    }
}

Step 8 : Create Controller file

We need to create a controller file for write upload image function.

php artisan make:controller UploadImageController

This command will create a controller file for image upload feature functions. After adding code in the controller file it will look like this.

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\UploadImage;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;

class UploadImageController extends Controller
{
    public function imageUpload(Request $request)
    {
        $input = $request->all();

        //Gether file data here
        $file_parts = pathinfo($input['fileToUpload']->getClientOriginalName()); //$file_parts['extension']
        $file_size = $request->file('fileToUpload')->getSize();

        //check the file extensions
        if(in_array($file_parts['extension'], ['jpg', 'JPG', 'png' ,'PNG' ,'jpeg' ,'JPEG', 'gif', 'GIF'])){
            $name = uniqid(). "_" . $input['fileToUpload']->getClientOriginalName();

            $fileToUpload = $name;
            $filePath = env('AWS_BUCKET').'/' . $name;
            
            //Upload file in Amazon s3 bucket from here
            $response = Storage::disk('s3')->put($filePath, file_get_contents($input['fileToUpload']), ['visibility' => 'public']);
        }

        //Here we will insert the data into database
        $uploadImage = UploadImage::create([
           'image_name'=> $fileToUpload,
           'image_path'=>$filePath,
           'image_size'=>$file_size,
        ]);

        return back()->with('success', 'Image Successfully Uploaded !!');
    }

}

Step 9 : Update View file

Update default created home a view file 

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