I want to upload a file through a modal using Ajax. How can I do that?
My modal:
You can upload the file using bootstrap modal via ajax like this.
In your form tag use attribute enctype and form html will be like below:
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" id="modal_form_id" method="POST" >
<input type="file" name="documents">
</form>
Js code:
var postData = new FormData($("#modal_form_id")[0]);
$.ajax({
type:'POST',
url:'your-post-url',
processData: false,
contentType: false,
data : postData,
success:function(data){
console.log("File Uploaded");
}
});
On your controller side you can do in the function like below to upload image.
if(Input::hasFile('documents')) {
$path = "directory where you wish to upload file";
$file_name= Input::file('documents');
$original_file_name = $file_name->getClientOriginalName();
$extension = $file_name->getClientOriginalExtension();
$fileWithoutExt = str_replace(".","",basename($original_file_name, $extension));
$updated_fileName = $fileWithoutExt."_".rand(0,99).".".$extension;
$uploaded = $file_name->move($path, $updated_fileName);
echo $updated_fileName;
}
