📙 How does vue-media-upload works?

vue-media-upload contains two components <upload-media /> for the create form and <update-media /> for the update form!

<upload-media /> component

1. vue-media-upload uploads the image image.jpg as multipart/form-data using a POST request.

2. server temporary saves the image with a unique name 123_image.jpg in a /tmp/uploads file.

3. server returns the unique name 123_image.jpg in a request response.

4. vue-media-upload stores the unique name 123_image.jpg in a hidden input field with name="media[]".

5. user submits the vue-media-upload parent form containing the hidden inputs fields the unique images names.

6. server uses the unique images names to move 123_image.jpg from the /tmp/uploads file to its final location.

<update-media /> component

• Almost the same concept as <upload-media /> with some slight changes.

🔣 Inputs

<upload-media /> component:

Basically after the image get uploaded the server return the unique image name and vue-media-upload stores it in a hidden input field <input name="media[]">

<update-media /> component:

• After the server returns the images names, vue-media-upload lists them, and in case the user added an new image vue-media-upload uploads the image image.jpg as multipart/form-data using a POST request and stores the added media unique name in an input <input name="added_media[]">

• In case the user deleted an image 123_image.jpg vue-media-upload stores it's name in an input field <input name="deleted_media">

• In case vue-media-upload has at least one image or more listed you will notice that it has also an input field <input name="media" value="1">, this input is a way to validate the media as required, so if you want make media required in your form, you will only need to add on your backend validation <input name="media" value="1"> as required $request->media => 'required'
