About This Episode:
Real-world file handling without the fluff! In this episode of Pragmatic Laravel, we add image uploads to our public survey marketing pages and tie up the loose ends that turn a feature into something production-ready.
You’ll learn how Laravel’s filesystem abstraction works and how to apply it cleanly in both create and edit flows—without overengineering.
✨ What we cover in this video:
🔹 Laravel Storage Fundamentals
- How Laravel supports multiple disks (local, public, S3, FTP, etc.)
- Why the Storage facade matters
- When abstraction actually helps
🔹 Hands-On Implementation
- Review existing filesystem configuration
- Run php artisan storage:link
- Add image upload fields to forms
- Handle uploads in controllers
- Persist image paths cleanly
- Reuse the same logic for create & edit flows
💥 About the Series:
Pragmatic Laravel focuses on building real applications with Laravel — emphasizing clarity, maintainability, and thoughtful design decisions instead of shortcuts or magic.
