How do I update the incoming value if it's a photo? [LARAVEL 9]

i have a question.

database settings table :

When adding a new setting I am sending data like this :

           <div class="form-group">
                <label>Tip</label>
                <select class="form-control" name="type">
                    <option value="text">Kısa yazı</option>
                    <option value="file">Dosya (Resim vb.)</option>
                    <option value="textarea">Uzun yazı</option>
                    <option value="ckeditor">Detaylı Metin Editörü</option>
                </select>
            </div>

and I’m querying this while editing:

              @if ($setting->type == 'file')
                    <div class="form-group">
                <img width="200" height="100" src="{{ asset('storage/' . $setting->value) }}">                   
                    </div>
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <input type="file" name="value" class="form-control" />
                    </div>
                @else
                    <div class="form-group">
                        <label>Açıklama:</label>
                @endif

update method:

 public function update(Request $request, Setting $setting)
{
    $request->validate([
        'key' => 'required',
        'value' => 'required',
        'type' => 'required',
        'description' => 'required',
    ]);




    $setting->update([
        'key' => $request->key,
        'value' => $request->value,
        'type' => $request->type,
        'description' => $request->description,

    ]);




    return redirect()->route('admin.settings.index')->with('message', 'Ayar başarıyla güncellendi.');
}

my question is: if value part is photo how can i update it as photo…

>Solution :

You can use the UploadedFile‘s store or storeAs to store the uploaded file and then store the file path as value in the database.

And don’t forget to have enctype="multipart/form-data" on the form

public function update(Request $request, Setting $setting)
{
    $validated = $request->validate([
        'key' => 'required',
        'value' => 'required',
        'type' => 'required',
        'description' => 'required',
    ]);

    if($request->hasFile('value') && $request->file('value')->isValid() ){
        $validated['value'] = $request->file('value')->store('/files', 'public');
    }


    $setting->update($validated);




    return redirect()->route('admin.settings.index')->with('message', 'Ayar başarıyla güncellendi.');
}
