Uploading SVG Laravel 5.5 - php

Question

How do I properly upload a svg file with Laravel 5.5?
The standard image validation rule does not see it as a proper image (image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg)
When I remove all validation, the file get's stored as a txt file.
My upload code:
$request->file('image')->store('images', 'public');

Answer 2

from a svg string creating a file, I didn't succeed with string sending as it abuses about some wrong chars after it been transmited to Laravel. So far from Android by okhttp:
private static final MediaType MEDIA_TYPE_TXT =MediaType.parse("text/plain");
....
MultipartBody.Builder obj_ = new MultipartBody.Builder().setType(MultipartBody.FORM);
fileImzo_ = new File(fileSafar_.getAbsoluteFile().getParentFile().getAbsolutePath(),"imzo.txt");
String nomiImzo_ = fileImzo_.getName();
//svgImzo is a raw SVG xml string
InputStream stream_ = new ByteArrayInputStream(svgImzo.getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8));
try {
try (OutputStream output_ = new FileOutputStream(fileImzo_)) {
byte[] buffer = new byte[4 * 1024]; // or other buffer size
int read;
while ((read = stream_.read(buffer)) != -1) {
output_.write(buffer, 0, read);
}
output_.flush();
}
}catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
stream_.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
obj_.addFormDataPart("fileImzo", nomiImzo_, RequestBody.create(fileImzo_, MEDIA_TYPE_TXT));
}
RequestBody req = obj_
.addFormDataPart("copayDodmi", "" + copayDodmi)
.addFormDataPart("izoh", xavar.getText().toString())
.addFormDataPart("driver_id", "" + driverId_)
.build();
Request request = new Request.Builder()
.header("Authorization", "Bearer " + token)//Authorization
.url(MehmonxonaActivity.URLI_ASSOSI + "/supurdani_paket_dodashud")
.post(req)
.build();
....
in Laravel controller , say we add the file path to array to update a row in the table:
....
if ($request->hasFile('fileImzo')) {
$imzo_filename = $this->sozuNomiFaylate('fileImzo', $request);
if (!is_null($imzo_filename)) {
$arr['signature_svg'] = $imzo_filename;
}
}
....
and the function sozuNomiFaylate():
....
private function sozuNomiFaylate(string $alias, \Illuminate\Http\Request $request)
{
$separatorLcl = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
$image = $request->file($alias);
$ext=$image->getClientOriginalExtension();
if($ext==='svg' || $ext==='SVG' || $ext==='txt'|| $ext==='')
$ext='svg';
$filename = time() . '.' .$ext ;
$path = public_path('images' . $separatorLcl . 'uploads' . $separatorLcl . $filename);
if($ext==='svg' || $ext==='SVG' || $ext==='txt'|| $ext===''){
File::put($path,$image->get());//Illuminate\Support\Facades\File
}else
try {
l::k($path);
Image::make($image)->save($path);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
l::k($e->getMessage());
l::k($e->getTraceAsString());
l::k('fayl soxta na shud');
return null;
}
return $filename;
}
....
And you are done
