I want to upload images with ajax. I convert the image to a base64 string. Posting the data works, but how do I get it on the server (I'm using Laravel 5.4)? I can do $request->all()
what gives me an array with all the images base64 strings combined. I cannot do anything with that because whatever I do with that array will result in a 500 error.
This is my script to convert the images and post them.
let queue = [];
function addFile(input) {
let files = input.files,
j = files.length,
file;
for (i = 0; i < j; i += 1) {
let reader = new FileReader();
reader.onloadend = function (e) {
$('#upload-InnerPanel').append(
"<div class='upload-ItemPanel'><img class='upload-ImagePreview' src='" + e.target.result + "' > </div>");
queue.push(reader.result);
};
file = files[i];
reader.readAsDataURL(file);
}
}
$('#upload-ButtonSelect').on("click" , function () {
$('#upload-UploadInput').click();
});
$('#upload-UploadInput').change(function () {
addFile(this);
});
$('#upload-ButtonUpload').click(function () {
$.ajax({
url: "/admin/upload",
type: "POST",
data: queue,
processData: false,
error: function(xhr, status, error) {
let err = xhr.responseText;
//console.log(err);
$('#upload-InnerPanel').append("<iframe width='600' height='500' src='" + err +"'> </iframe>")
},
success: function (xhr) {
console.log(xhr);
},
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
}
});
});
This is my controller:
public function upload(Request $request)
{
return var_dump($request->all());
}
That works, sort of, because My response is one long base64 in an array with just 1 item. Even if I add multiple images I just get one item in the array instead of three. It now combines them all in to one. Also, as I said. I cannot do anything with that array what does not result in a 500 error.
So my question is:
How do I get it to work so I can post multiple items instead of one and get the data on the backend?
