How to Correctly Upload Images in Laravel-Backpack/Settings: A Step-by-Step Guide

Uploading files, particularly images, in a backend management system can sometimes be a challenge. If you're using Laravel Backpack for your project, you might have encountered issues specifically related to uploading images with the image field type in Laravel-Backpack/Settings. Many users, including myself, have faced hurdles with this functionality where instead of saving the image correctly, the system just stores the base64 image data directly into the database.

But don’t worry! This guide will guide you through the necessary steps to ensure that your image uploads work seamlessly in Laravel-Backpack/Settings.

Understanding the Problem

When using the image type in Laravel Backpack's settings, it often defaults to saving the image data in base64 format rather than handling it as a file. This not only takes up more space in the database but also makes it inconvenient when you want to manage or retrieve images later on.

In previous attempts, you might have tried creating mutators like setValueAttribute() or even setHomeVideoAttribute(), yet none seemed to solve the issue. This frustration is common among developers, and unfortunately, existing documentation often does not address this specific scenario effectively.

A Simple Solution

Despite the challenge, there is a straightforward way to ensure that images are uploaded correctly in Laravel Backpack Settings. Follow these organized steps to resolve the issue:

Step 1: Publish the Service Provider

First, you need to publish the service provider for the settings package. This allows you to customize the default CRUD controller that is instantiated. You can do this by running the following command in your terminal:

This should create a configuration file located at routes/backpack/settings.php.

Step 2: Create a Custom Model

Next, create a new model that extends the default Backpack settings model. This will allow you to customize how settings are handled without losing the foundational functionality:

Step 3: Replace the CRUD Controller

You'll need to set up a new CRUD controller to replace the default one, which points to your newly created model. Here’s how you can do that:

Step 4: Update Routes

Modify the routes/backpack/settings.php file to utilize the new controller you created, changing the namespace and model name accordingly.

Step 5: Add Image Handling Logic

Now, let’s create a mutator in your custom Setting model specifically for handling image uploads. This step is crucial because the settings package stores all its data in the value field, regardless of type. Here is a sample mutator for the setValueAttribute():

Key Takeaways

Publish the service provider to override default settings routes and logic.

Create a custom model and controller to extend and customize the functionality of the Backpack settings.

Implement a mutator to handle image uploads correctly, ensuring images are stored as files rather than raw base64 data in the database.

Conclusion

By following these detailed steps, you can effectively allow image uploads in Laravel-Backpack/Settings without encountering those pesky base64 data issues. This process enhances both the storage and management of your images, making your application cleaner and more efficient.

This approach also reinforces how important it is to have complete control over your model handling and CRUD operations. Customization is key in e
