Resize image in Laravel 5.2

Question

Can anyone help me how to implement resizing image in Laravel?

I have this code only:

if($request->hasFile('image')){     if (Input::file('image')->isValid()) {         $file = Input::file('image');         $destination = base_path() . '/public/images/ServiceImages';         $extension = Input::file('image')->getClientOriginalExtension();         $fileName = rand(111,99999).'.'.$extension;          if(!empty($data['Image'])){             unlink($destination.$data['Image']);         }          $file->move($destination, $fileName);         $service->image=$fileName;     } } 

Answer 1

Laravel does not have a default resize of image. But most Laravel developers use 'Image intervention' in handling the image. It is easy to use.

To install (Image intervention):

STEP 1 Run

composer require intervention/image 

STEP 2 On your config/app.php:

In the $providers array, add the following:

Intervention\Image\ImageServiceProvider::class 

In the $aliases array,add the following:

'Image' => Intervention\Image\Facades\Image::class 

If you have problems your GD library is missing, install it

• PHP5: sudo apt-get install php5-gd
• PHP7: sudo apt-get install php7.0-gd

To use on your controller.

STEP 3

On top of your controller

use Intervention\Image\ImageManagerStatic as Image;

STEP 4

On your method (there are several ways but this will give you an idea)

if($request->hasFile('image')) {      $image       = $request->file('image');     $filename    = $image->getClientOriginalName();      $image_resize = Image::make($image->getRealPath());                   $image_resize->resize(300, 300);     $image_resize->save(public_path('images/ServiceImages/' .$filename));  }
