Advanced Image Uploading with Vue and Laravel
Want to give your users the ability to upload images from your Vue frontend, but don't know where to start? In this series, we'll step through the process from start to finish. We'll begin by prepping a Laravel app to store uploaded images. Then, using a battle-tested library called Filepond, we'll provide our Vue component with an area to drag and drop pictures to. Handling image data can be a bit complicated, especially when introducing another layer like a frontend framework. Using the libraries and techniques in this series though, I'll show you that it doesn't have to be a headache.
