1 year ago admin Laravel

In the second part of this tutorial we are going to see how to append a custom new attribute to the Laravel model, we will add a Profile component and routes.


Append a custom new attribute to the Laravel model

Next, inside the User's model, we append a custom new attribute "image" which will return the full path of the user's profile picture. 

                                                        
                                                                                                                        
<?php

namespace App\Models;

// use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array<int, string>
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name',
        'email',
        'password',
        'photo_url'
    ];

    protected $appends = ['image'];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
     *
     * @var array<int, string>
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password',
        'remember_token',
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast.
     *
     * @var array<string, string>
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];

    public function getImageAttribute() {
        if(Storage::disk('public')->exists(auth()->user()->photo_url)) {
            return asset('storage/'.$this->photo_url);
        }
        return $this->photo_url;
    }
}


Create the Profile Component

Next, we create the Profile Component.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
<template>
    <div class="container">
        <div className="row my-5">
            <div v-if="$page.props.flash.message" :class="`my-3 ${$page.props.flash.class}`">
                {{ $page.props.flash.message }}
            </div>
            <div v-if="form.errors.photo_url" class="text-white bg-danger p-2 rounded my-2">{{ form.errors.photo_url }}</div>
            <div className="col-md-3">
                <div className="card">
                    <div className="card-body">
                        <img :src="user.image" alt="Profile Image" class="img-fluid rounded">
                        <form @submit.prevent="uploadFile">
                            <div class="mt-3">
                                <label for="formFile">Change profile image</label>
                                <input type="file" @input="setPhotoUrl" 
                                    id="formFile" class="form-control mt-1">
                            </div>
                            <div class="mt-2">
                                <button 
                                    :disabled="!form.photo_url"
                                    class="btn btn-sm btn-primary">Submit</button>
                            </div>
                        </form>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-md-6">
                <div class="card">
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <ul class="list-group">
                            <li class="list-group-item">
                                <span class="fw-bold">Username:</span>
                                {{ user.name }}
                            </li>
                            <li class="list-group-item">
                                <span class="fw-bold">Email:</span>
                                {{ user.email }}
                            </li>
                        </ul>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script setup>
    import { useForm, usePage } from '@inertiajs/vue3';
    import { computed } from 'vue';

    const form = useForm({
        photo_url: ''
    });

    const setPhotoUrl = (e) => {
        form.photo_url = e.target.files[0];
    }

    const user = computed(() => usePage().props.user);

    const uploadFile = () => {
        form.post(route('profile'), {
            onSuccess: () => {
                form.reset('photo_url')
            }
        });
    }
</script>


<style>
</style>

Add routes

Finally, we add the routes.

                                                            
                                                                                                                                
 Route::get('user/profile', [ProfileController::class, 'profile'])->name('profile');
 Route::post('user/profile', [ProfileController::class, 'updateProfileImage'])->name('profile');
