Laravel : Upload 64base image instead of normal - php

Question

I have an application using React and Laravel where I'm uploading images.
I'm using Laravel Image Intervention package.
When testing my API, the upload for a normal image works perfectly.
Using React, the user can select an image from his pc and crop it, then he sees the preview as a generated cropped 64base image.
I would want to upload the generated 64base image to my database instead of a normal one, how to do so ?
Fileupload controller
public function Store(Request $request)
{
$this->validate($request, [
'filename' => 'image|required|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg'
]);
$originalImage= $request->file('filename');
$thumbnailImage = Image::make($originalImage);
// Define upload path
$originalPath = public_path('/images/');
// Save Orginal Image
$thumbnailImage->save($originalPath.time().$originalImage->getClientOriginalName());
// Save In Database
$imagemodel= new Photo();
$imagemodel->photo_name=time().$originalImage->getClientOriginalName();
$imagemodel->save();
return back()->with('success', 'Image Upload successful');
}

This one should work
$folderPath = "images/";
$image_parts = explode(";base64,", $request->file('file'));
$image_type_aux = explode("image/", $image_parts[0]);
$image_type = $image_type_aux[1];
$image_base64 = base64_decode($image_parts[1]);
$file = $folderPath . uniqid() . '. '.$image_type;
// file_put_contents($file, $image_base64);
Storage::put($file, $image_base64);
Possible alternative:
$image = Image::make(base64_decode(preg_replace('#^data:image/\w+;base64,#i', '', $request->file('file'))))->stream();
Storage::put($file, $image, 'public');
