Laravel ajax file upload method not allowed

Question

Using Laravel 5.4 I'm trying to submit a form with a file to upload with ajax.

My jquery code:

$("#uploadRoastsForm").submit(function() {
var url = $(this).attr('action');
var fd = new FormData();    
var files = $('#roastFile')[0].files;    

if(files.length > 0)
    fd.append('file', files[0]);

fd.append('file', files[0]);
fd.append('roast_date', $('#roastDate').val());
    
$.ajax({
    url: url,
    type: 'POST',
    data: fd,
    contentType: false,
    processData: false,
    success: function (data) {...

My form:

<form action="/warehouse/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" class="form" id="uploadRoastsForm">
                {{ csrf_field() }}
                
                <div class="form-group" style="width:150px">
                    <label>Roasting Date</label>
                    <div class="input-group">
                        <input name="roast_date" type="text" value="{{ old('roast_date') }}" class="form-control datepick" id="roastDate">
                        <div class="input-group-addon">
                            <span class="fa fa-calendar"></span>
                        </div>
                    </div>    
                </div>

                <div class="form-group">
                    <label>Upload Roast Files</label>
                    <input type="file" name="file" id="roastFile">
                </div>

I am getting this in firebug: XHRPOSThttp://highland.local/warehouse/upload [HTTP/1.1 419 unknown status 250ms]

I also tried to have an input as a submit button on the form and when I click it I call the exact same ajax, but then I got the error: MethodNotAllowed.

Something breaks when I use: contentType: false, processData: false. But if I don't use them I can't send the file to the controller. Can anyone help please?

How do you upload file with ajax in Laravel?

Answer 1

At first you didn't posted what is the method in your route/web.php for your ajax request.

If it is MethodNotAllowed related problem then probably your ajax request and route method is not same.

If you are trying to update something then use PUT method in your route like below

Route::put('/warehouse/upload', "WarehouseController@upload');

And if you are trying to insert data into database table then use POST method:

Route::post('/warehouse/upload', "WarehouseController@upload');

As you are using POST method from your jQuery AJAX function, then just use post method in your route.

I think it should solve your query.
