    public function index(Request $request){
        $elibrary = Elibrary::orderBy('id','DESC')->paginate(5);
        return view('e-library',compact('elibrary'))
            ->with('i', ($request->input('page', 1) - 1) * 5);
    }

    /**
     * Show the form for creating a new resource.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
     */
    public function create()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Store a newly created resource in storage.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request

     public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [

            'efile' => 'required|max:4000',
        ]);
        if($file= $request->file('file')){
            $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();
            if($file->move('images', $name)){
                $elibrary = new Post;
                $elibrary->efile = $name;
                $elibrary->save();
                return redirect()->route('e-library');
            };
        }
        $elibrary = new Elibrary([
            'title'    =>  $request->get('title'),
            'efile'    =>  $request->file('file'),
            ]);
        $elibrary->save();
        return redirect()->route('e-library');
    }

    /**

    public function show($id)
    {
        //
    }

    /**

    public function edit($id)
    {

    public function update(Request $request, $id)
    {

     */
    public function destroy($id)
    {
        //
    }
}

This is my route file code

Route::post('/store', 'Elibrary@store')->name('store');

this is e-library.blade.php file from

<form action="/store" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
                @csrf()
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <input type="text" class="form-control"name="title" placeholder="Name">
                  </div>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <input type="file" class="form-control"name="efile" >
                  </div>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <input type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-send-message" >
                  </div>
               </form>

this is my model file of Elibrary.php

    <?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Elibrary extends Model
{
    public $fillable = ['title','efile'];
}

this is my migration file

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateElibrariesTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('elibraries', function (Blueprint $table) {
           $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->string('efile');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('elibraries');
    }
}

if($file->move('images', $name){ You're missing a close ) — aynber
You create a new ELibrary, being the class you pasted. Which doesn't have a save() method, so it's unsurprising it doesn't like the call. — delboy1978uk

You're creating new instances of Elibrary in your controller methods. Elibrary is a controller class but it looks like you're treating it as a model.

Maybe try changing all of your new Elibrary() to new Post since it looks like that might be what you're trying to accomplish.

If thats the case, you will also need to make efile fillable in your Post model.
