    }


    $.ajax({

        type: type,
        url: my_url,
        data: formData,
        dataType: 'json',
        success: function (data) {
            console.log(data);

        },
        error: function (data) {
            console.log('Error:', data);
        }
    });
});

controller:

    public function campaign(Request $request){


    $task = new projects();

    $task->project_name = trim($request->project_name);
    $task->website_url = trim($request->website_url);
    $task->location = trim($request->location);
    $task->group = trim($request->group);


    $file = trim($request->image);

    if ($request->hasFile($file)) {
    $destinationPath = 'images'; // upload path
    $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension(); // getting image extension
    $fileName = rand(11111,99999).'.'.$extension; // renameing image
    $file->move($destinationPath, $fileName);

    $task->image = $fileName; 
  }   

  dd($task);

}

any help would be appreciated .Thank you .

Looks like Laravel does not receive uploaded image. $request->image should be instance of UploadedFile class, but in your case it is just string like "C:\fakepath\custom-image.jpg"

Giving respect to this answer, try this:

$("#btn-save").click(function (e) {
    $.ajaxSetup({
        headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="_token"]').attr('content')
        }
    });

    e.preventDefault();

    var form = document.forms.namedItem("campaignForm"); // high importance!, here you need change "yourformname" with the name of your form
    var formData = new FormData(form); // high importance!

    $.ajax({
        type: type,
        url: my_url,
        dataType: "json", // or html if you want...
        contentType: false, // high importance!
        data: formData, // high importance!
        processData: false, // high importance!
        success: function (data) {
            console.log(data);

        },
        error: function (data) {
            console.log('Error:', data);
        }
    });
});

Its worked for inserting Data .But when i am trying to edit the form , its storing as empty values . I don't understand why ?

Peter Reshetin Over a year ago

i am glad it worked. do you mean editing existing instance? well in that case you may put old('username') in form fields, like this <input type="text" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}">. Here is old input docs
