Get File Input Value in Laravel Via AngularJS form - php

Question

I want to get value from file input from angularjs form in laravel, but i can't get the value.
why?
angularjs:
<div ng-controller="UploadImgController" >
<div ng-repeat="image in images">
<img ng-src="{{image.image}}" />
</div>
<form ng-submit="uploadImg()" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
Select image to upload:
<input type="file" name="path" id="path" ng-model="addimages.path" accept="image/*" app-filereader>
<input type="text" name="propertyid" ng-model="addimages.propertyid">
<input type="submit" value="Upload Image" name="submit" class="btn btn-primary" >
</form>
</div>
laravel (UploadImgController.php):
public function store()
{
$file = Input::file('path');
echo "file: ".$file;
}
(routes.php):
Route::resource('img','UploadImgController');
I got no value. What should I do? Thank you. :)

I recommend using ng-file-upload.
View
<button ng-file-select ng-model="myFiles" ng-file-change="upload($files)">Upload</button>
Angular JS
var app = angular.module('fileUpload', ['angularFileUpload']);
app.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', '$upload', function ($scope, $upload) {
$scope.upload = function (files) {
if (files && files.length){
for (var i = files.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var file = files[i];
$upload.upload({
url: '/upload',
fields: {key: 'value'},
file: file
})
.progress(function (evt) {
var progressPercentage = parseInt(100.0 * evt.loaded / evt.total);
console.log('File upload ' + progressPercentage + "% complete.");
})
.success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(data);
})
.error(function(data, status, headers, config) {
console.log(data);
});
}
}
};
}
]);
Laravel Route
Route::post('upload', [
'uses' => 'FileUploadController#upload'
]);
Laravel Controller
public function upload() {
$file = \Input::file('file');
return $file;
}

You can pull that off without a plugin actually. I did face a similar problem once and this is how I went about it.
View
<input type="file" name="file" onchange="angular.element(this).scope().uploadImage(this.files)"/>
Angularjs Controller
$scope.uploadavtar = function (files) {
var fd = new FormData();
//Take the first selected file
fd.append("file", files[0]);
$http.post("/upload-url" + $scope.school.profile.id, fd, {
withCredentials: true,
headers: {'Content-Type': undefined},
transformRequest: angular.identity
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
$scope.result = response;
// this callback will be called asynchronously
// when the response is available
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log(response);
// called asynchronously if an error occurs
// or server returns response with an error status.
});
}
Routes.php
Route::post('/upload-url', 'UsersController#uploadFile');
Laravel Controller
// Upload files
public function uploadFile(Requests\UpdateuploadfileRequest $request, $id)
{
$extension = Input::file('file')->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileName = time().'.'.$extension; // renameing image
$destination = 'uploads/img'. $fileName;
move_uploaded_file($_FILES['file']['tmp_name'], $destination);
}
}
Request validation file (UpdateuploadfileRequest.php)
/**
* Get the validation rules that apply to the request.
*
* #return array
*/
public function rules()
{
$rules = [
];
return $rules;
}
