Dear Max, today I spend hours upon hours without success trying to get a file upload from Vue.js into a Laravel controller. And then, I found this magnificent video tutorial that got me sorted out straight away. Ten or so lines of code WOW! Thanks, you made my day! Chris
Hi Max great tutorial. Can you tell me how can I after image is uploaded show it in the component? How do I pick the downloadURL from firebase storage and insert that as image src ?
you are "THE MANNNNNN" dude thanks to you i've been fixing an issue i had for 3 days, i didnt know how to properly make this sending files to the backend, i'm a noob dev i'm learning and i'm trying to finalize a project and thanks to you i'm maybe 10% closer to the end , but 10% is huge, i have less than 15 days left thankk youu!!! i will add something for those who might have the issue i have, im working on node js, express, vue,axios,multer. i'm just gonna say this . front: var formData = new FormData(); formData.append('',this.new_attachments) back: app.post('/upload', upload.single(''),... has to be the same, otherwise you get errors!!! i hope some of you understand it might help
This was very helpful! Sometimes I spend an hour or even a few on stackoverflow trying to solve a problem. Then sometimes after a 10-minute video from you, or after shortly going back to one of your courses => problem solved.
MAX, how many years should I spend to be like a Maximillian 2 ?? You are awesome ... Max help us in uploading multiple images and also preview images before upload. It will really be helpful
I spent 15 years ;) Just kidding - thankfully I still learn so much every day, that's what web development is all about in the end. Keep on learning. Happy to hear that I can help you with that a bit :)
Hi Max thanks for the tutorial. When uploading image to aws with laravel as the backend and using axios with vue, I find it difficult implementing the progressbar. If it's however from axios straight to aws it's pretty clear. Can you show how this will be done with Laravel. ie axios => laravel => aws. Thanks.
Thanks for this video. How can we display/preview the image immediately after uploading it? As in how can we access the url stored in AWS or any other server?
I am not getting response from server, {data: {…}, status: 200, statusText: "OK", headers: {…}, config: {…}, …} Only this thing, what should I do? Image is entering in database, but response is null
Great video! Only, I don't have the firebase cloud function that you show. How can I make sure to get it? Do I need to write it myself or is there a plugin I can download or something?
Hi, i have some problem on the submit the form data with optional image upload. The user can submit the form data eventhough did not choose the image/file. How can do that? Backend is laravel
MAX, if you by chance visit Nigeria, know that you have a big fan. Your videos are :fire:, super great. Thanks for doing what you are doing. By the way, pls come visit Nigeria.
Hi Max, thanks for the video. I am wondering about the lag between 100% and response console logs. Is it because the Firebase (cloud functions to be exact)?
Indeed, the file needs to be stored on the Firebase servers after it was uploaded to the cloud function - that's basically the extra time you have to wait.
You can of course manually translate it. Update some Vue instance data property and then write some template code to update some CSS styles based on that
when i do this and click on the button it refreshes my page before it opens the file input... also upon selecting a file it doesn't call the onFileSelected(). but when i only use the input field everything works fine. what am i doing wrong here?
I have a very important question, which is the type that you recive on the server? IFORMFILES?, because it's doesn't work! I have this problem when i send from parameter the formdata: "file": [ "Could not create an instance of type Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.IFormFile. Type is an interface or abstract class and cannot be instantiated. Who is the code to recive this formdata in your api? Have you an example? Thks
Max another great video thanks, One question though. I followed your REST API tutorial series and wanted to test the file upload with that. The only issue is that I am having issues sending the bearer token in the header to authenticate using axios. Any pointers with that would be greatly appreciated - best :-)
Do you have issues with attaching it to the Axios request or handling it on the server? Attaching it should be possible via axios.post('url', data, { headers: {Authorization: 'the-token'}}
Great video - right to the point! Thanks! Is there a reason why you use a custom cloud function instead for fireball.firestore() directly? I would fear that using custom Ajax calls might break things like offline functionality for firebase, because it can’t handle caching and syncing for custom Ajax calls.
I simply wanted to show a generic approach, not one only working with Firebase. I just used Firebase as it's easy to set up and doesn't require me to write a lot of boilerplate backend code.
Hi, tried to use vue-avatar-editor to crop the image while uploading it, but I'm getting base64 version of the image which may not be the best for database storage. Can't access it with FormData() either. Any help?
I can't get the @change to work. Do I need minimum version of Vue or something? It seems I can't ask the correct question on Google cause I don't find any information about this.
does anyone know, if the file could also be moved to a specific folder on the clients computer instead of uploading it to a backend db? my project includes a folder with 5 demo songs that can be replaced by the user (as taste is different) and i cant store everyones 5 songs on the backend, so i need to make sure the files are in that specific folder on the frontend. otherwise my functions will not work. is that possible with js?
I'm using vue-resource, and got the console.log(%) working, but I want to update an HTML progress bar. How can I access it? The this.percent and this.progressBar are not really updated this.$http.post(`${process.env.ROOT_API}${this.photo_endpoint}`, formData, { headers: { 'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data' }, progress (e) { if (e.lengthComputable) { this.percent = Math.round(e.loaded / e.total * 100) this.progressBar = this.percent + '%' console.log(this.progressBar) } } } ).then(response => { ...
Thanks , the sharing is very helpful. May i ask , if i wish to encode the upload file to a base64 before upload it, how can i do that ? is there any example of how this can be done in vuejs , the process is the same , the user pick the file , click the upload button, but it will upload it as a base64 string .
Axios hat einige Abstraktionen die es leichter machen dieses mit VUEX und dem vue-router zu verknüpfen. So kann man beispielsweise in der seiner Axios Instanz alle header vordefinieren und später in seiner middleware und wo man es sonst noch braucht einsetzen. Bei einem nativen fetch müsste man alle Parameter immer explizit angeben, oder man schreibt sich sein eigenes Modul in dem die Abstraktion und die Parameter hinterlegt sind ... womit man wieder bei einer Struktur gelandet ist die man mit axios einfacher haben kann. Ein weiterer Bonus ist die Rückwärtskompatibilität mit XMLHttpRequests die axios von Haus aus mitbringt. Für dieses Beispiel hätte Max sicher fetch nutzen können, aber die ein oder andere library subtil vorgestellt zu bekommen kann ebenso hilfreich sein.
For anyone else wondering this: This solution, yes, but you'd usually have to do some validation on the server end anyway. Also you can add extra properties to the file upload input html, check this stack overflow post for more on this. stackoverflow.com/questions/4328947/limit-file-format-when-using-input-type-file

This tutorial is truly epic
Hi Max great tutorial. Can you tell me how can I after image is uploaded show it in the component? How do I pick the downloadURL from firebase storage and insert that as image src ?
Amazing. Your videos allow the developer to save so much time.
The refs functionality is a Bonus from this video, didn't know it at all !
Thanks.
Thanks so much, that's really amazing to read! :)
this has been one of the most helpful coding videos I have ever watched. Thank you.
you are "THE MANNNNNN" dude thanks to you i've been fixing an issue i had for 3 days, i didnt know how to properly make this sending files to the backend, i'm a noob dev i'm learning and i'm trying to finalize a project and thanks to you i'm maybe 10% closer to the end , but 10% is huge, i have less than 15 days left thankk youu!!!
i will add something for those who might have the issue i have, im working on node js, express, vue,axios,multer. i'm just gonna say this .
front:
var formData = new FormData();
formData.append('',this.new_attachments)
back:
app.post('/upload', upload.single(''),...
has to be the same, otherwise you get errors!!!
i hope some of you understand it might help
I was looking for "how to keep images in server for vue", but this video expanded my knowledge about vue, ty :)
Max. This was a great video. Exactly what I needed. Thank you so much
Really great to read that it came at the right point in time Raymond thank you very much!
Extremely punctual and easy, thank you so much Max!!
So happy to read that Diego, thank you very much for your comment!
I started my Vue.js path based on your vids. Thank you and keep up the great work, Max!
Thank you very much for sharing this Clint, really means a lot to me to read that my videos are part of your Vue journey :)
when i test, error : has been blocked by CORS policy: No 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header is present on the requested resource.
I love it! The firebase functions was a new thing for me! Thank you.
Where is the link to the firebase function video because I don't see them anywhere in the description?
So, like I leave a like right after I start any vid on your channel, even before seeing it; your tutorials are awesome, man. YOU are awesome.
Thanks so much for your absolutely fantastic feedback and for your great support Sarah, YOU are awesome :)
I saw you have an extensive course program; so I just enrolled for the Vue.js course! Good value for money, thanks!
Omg, thank you so much for this tutorial. I was stuck in file upload with vue and this save my work. Thank you.
Thank YOU for your awesome feedback Manuel :)
if you want upload image from server django (django rest framework) only use multiparse and formparse
you made it simple and fast, thanks!

Hi Max thanks for the tutorial. When uploading image to aws with laravel as the backend and using axios with vue, I find it difficult implementing the progressbar. If it's however from axios straight to aws it's pretty clear. Can you show how this will be done with Laravel. ie axios => laravel => aws.

Amazing Video Max. Do you know any popular Vue Plugin , that you might have used in the past for file upload.
Thanks for this video. How can we display/preview the image immediately after uploading it? As in how can we access the url stored in AWS or any other server?
Thanks for this video. What if in the case where an API endpoint is expecting the file in form of binary how do you go about it.
Hi Max! How i can get image URL after upload? Thanks
Is it a good idea to compress the image and resize it on the client side or the server? Also do you have any videos that teaches how to do this?
I am not getting response from server,
{data: {…}, status: 200, statusText: "OK", headers: {…}, config: {…}, …}
Only this thing, what should I do? Image is entering in database, but response is null
Great video! Only, I don't have the firebase cloud function that you show. How can I make sure to get it? Do I need to write it myself or is there a plugin I can download or something?
How nice and clear! Thanks for your tutorial
Which platform u were using
OMG!!! Talk about easy and well explained. Echoing Marc A. that the refs portion blew my mind 😍😘🥰
Hi Max.
How would you send json data along with that request so you can fetch it on the server. eg Node.js using body-parser?
Hello from CIS :), your lessons are awesome!
Thanks a lot, so great to read that!
Great tut as always. Way to go Max!
Thank you very very much Wilfred :)
Is there a simple way to check if the uploaded file matches a specific file type with vue/axios or do you need to do that on the backend?
Thank you! And what is the way to download the file back?
In django should we use request.FILES??
Where is the video to create the function?
Very clear and nice explaining! Respect bro! You are teacher of 80 level! =)
Very happy to read that, thanks a lot :)
Excellent. Clear and to the point. Good video. Thanks!
Happy to read that you liked my explanation Pablo, thank you very much!
Hey Max! Awesome tutorial once again!
Thanks a lot John!
Hi, thanks for video. I have a question.
How can send image file with axios without use formData?
Thanks Max for the vid ....can you do a video for separation of service layer for this one ...cheers!!!
Hi, i have some problem on the submit the form data with optional image upload. The user can submit the form data eventhough did not choose the image/file. How can do that? Backend is laravel
Thanks for the tutorial, it really helped me :D very helpful!!!
"a input" or "an input"?
voce sabe me dizer se e possivel mostrar a imagem antes de enviar pro firebase?
MAX, if you by chance visit Nigeria, know that you have a big fan.
Your videos are :fire:, super great. Thanks for doing what you are doing.
By the way, pls come visit Nigeria.
Thank you very much for your great comment! Unfortunately I won't be able to visit Nigeria in the near future, but greetings from Germany :)
thanks a lot. was stuck on this and wondering if I should use another framework cause vuejs almost lost my heart.
Great to hear you found the video to be helpful! :)
Does this work with firestore?
Hi Max, thanks for the video. I am wondering about the lag between 100% and response console logs. Is it because the Firebase (cloud functions to be exact)?
Indeed, the file needs to be stored on the Firebase servers after it was uploaded to the cloud function - that's basically the extra time you have to wait.
your Videos so far Helped me alot thanks man !
That's so cool to read Hamada, thank you very much for your comment!
Hi Max! Great tutorial!
Is there any way to show upload progress in a bar instead of showing percentage in the console?
You can of course manually translate it. Update some Vue instance data property and then write some template code to update some CSS styles based on that
Is it possible to use fetch to do this?
Do this works from a mobile device?
when i do this and click on the button it refreshes my page before it opens the file input... also upon selecting a file it doesn't call the onFileSelected(). but when i only use the input field everything works fine. what am i doing wrong here?
I have a very important question, which is the type that you recive on the server? IFORMFILES?, because it's doesn't work! I have this problem when i send from parameter the formdata:
"file": [ "Could not create an instance of type Microsoft.AspNetCore.Http.IFormFile.
Type is an interface or abstract class and cannot be instantiated.
Who is the code to recive this formdata in your api? Have you an example?
Thks
Max another great video thanks, One question though. I followed your REST API tutorial series and wanted to test the file upload with that. The only issue is that I am having issues sending the bearer token in the header to authenticate using axios. Any pointers with that would be greatly appreciated - best :-)
Do you have issues with attaching it to the Axios request or handling it on the server? Attaching it should be possible via axios.post('url', data, { headers: {Authorization: 'the-token'}}
i used axios.post('url', data, { headers: {Authorization: 'Bearer' + 'the-token'}} the same as in postman, but get a 404 error, is this wrong?
Any reason why FileData object would be empty after calling append?
but what if i want to upload multiple images?
Strange. I can't find the link with firebase cloud functions.
You have to create your own cloud function
King Rayhan I guess. But I have little idea how to create such functions. Need some example.
th-cam.com/video/qZ1EFnFOGvE/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=Academind guess this is it
Great video - right to the point! Thanks!

Hey great Tutorial!!! Please do more!!! Thank you!!!
hey!
What are the font and the theme which you're using... I also want the text color contrast. I'm one of your student from Udemy!
I use this VS Code setup => academind.com/learn/web-dev/visual-studio-code-introduction/#our-visual-studio-code-setup
this.selectFile = event.target.file[0] showed me this error {Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '0')}.
Do you have any video to upload file from laravel6 to s3 aws?
Thank you, this video has really helpful to complete a task.
That's great to read Poncho, thank you very much for sharing this!

Thank you. Its very helpfull and easy to understand. I subscribed because of this
Thanks for the sub!
I can't get the @change to work. Do I need minimum version of Vue or something? It seems I can't ask the correct question on Google cause I don't find any information about this.
Please, helpme, how use with cropper,js?

does anyone know, if the file could also be moved to a specific folder on the clients computer instead of uploading it to a backend db? my project includes a folder with 5 demo songs that can be replaced by the user (as taste is different) and i cant store everyones 5 songs on the backend, so i need to make sure the files are in that specific folder on the frontend. otherwise my functions will not work. is that possible with js?
Awesome Max :) ......waiting for other vuejs related videos

i need this too
Understood,This is great! thanks.
Warum nutzt du nicht die JavaScript Fetch-Methode? Funktioniert es mit Axios besser?
Axios hat einige Abstraktionen die es leichter machen dieses mit VUEX und dem vue-router zu verknüpfen. So kann man beispielsweise in der seiner Axios Instanz alle header vordefinieren und später in seiner middleware und wo man es sonst noch braucht einsetzen. Bei einem nativen fetch müsste man alle Parameter immer explizit angeben, oder man schreibt sich sein eigenes Modul in dem die Abstraktion und die Parameter hinterlegt sind ... womit man wieder bei einer Struktur gelandet ist die man mit axios einfacher haben kann.
Ein weiterer Bonus ist die Rückwärtskompatibilität mit XMLHttpRequests die axios von Haus aus mitbringt.
Für dieses Beispiel hätte Max sicher fetch nutzen können, aber die ein oder andere library subtil vorgestellt zu bekommen kann ebenso hilfreich sein.
Michael Lux Vielen Dank für deine ausführliche Antwort, Michael :)
Thanks for the video, really informative. I have a request, can you do a tutorial of file upload with vue filepond and laravel?
Max can we use firebase , cloud functions and vue js for a ecommerce app
You absolutely can, yes
Does this limits the uploaded file to an actual image? It seems one could upload anything.
For anyone else wondering this:
This solution, yes, but you'd usually have to do some validation on the server end anyway.
Also you can add extra properties to the file upload input html, check this stack overflow post for more on this.
stackoverflow.com/questions/4328947/limit-file-format-when-using-input-type-file
Thank u for this awesome video. Can u make video/project how to search/query data from firebase database and display through search form
Abhishek, You can use vue filter to implement this particular feature
Great tutorial! I actually got your Udemy course on Nuxt.
Thank you for your support Dragos, great to have you on board here and on Udemy!
