Suppose you want to validate any type of file in laravel 10 application. That means you want to validate that, users only be able to upload specific extension files, like you can upload only a jpg image file or you can upload a .csv file only etc.
In this tutorial, I will show you, how we can validate any type of file like video mp4 or image excel, or audio. To validate files, laravel 10 has a beautiful File::types() helper. Using this, we can validate any kind of file. In this tutorial, I will validate some files and show you the source code that, and how we can validate it.
Validate .csv extension file before uploading that, the file type must be csv.
app/Http/Controllers/TutorialController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\File;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class TutorialController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('welcome');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
Validator::validate($request->all(), [
'file' => [
'required',
File::types(['csv'])
]
]);
}
}
Validate .pdf extension file before uploading that, the file type must be pdf.
app/Http/Controllers/TutorialController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\File;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class TutorialController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('welcome');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
Validator::validate($request->all(), [
'file' => [
'required',
File::types(['pdf'])
]
]);
}
}
Validate .mp3 extension file before uploading that, the file type must be audio.
app/Http/Controllers/TutorialController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rule;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\File;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class TutorialController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('welcome');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
Validator::validate($request->all(), [
'file' => [
'required',
File::types(['mp3'])
]
]);
}
}
You can pass min max also to validate file size in Laravel 10 like:
app/Http/Controllers/TutorialController.php
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Validation\Rules\File;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
class TutorialController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('welcome');
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
Validator::validate($request->all(), [
'attachment' => [
'required',
File::types(['mp3', 'mp4'])
->min(1024)
->max(12 * 1024),
]
]);
}
}
Now show the error message in your blade file like:
resources/views/welcome.blade.php
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header" style="background: gray; color:#f1f7fa; font-weight:bold;">
