How to Create Multiple input with laravel API? - laravel

Question

I want to make an report API with the option of being able to do multiple inputs for violators data, crime scene photo data and personnel data.
I've tried to code like below, but still can't do multiple input. What is the correct way to create multiple inputs in laravel API (with file upload) ?
Controller
public function store(ReportRequest $request)
{
try {
$report = Report::create([
'category_id' => $request->category_id,
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
'title' => $request->title,
'description' => $request->description,
'incident_date' => $request->incident_date,
'injured_victims' => $request->injured_victims,
'survivors' => $request->survivors,
'dead_victims' => $request->dead_victims,
'location' => $request->location,
'latitude' => $request->latitude,
'longitude' => $request->longitude
]);
if ($request->category_id !== 4 && $request->violator_photo) {
$violators = $request->file('violator_photo');
$violators = [];
foreach($violators as $key => $value) {
if($request->hasFile('violator_photo')) {
$violator_photo = $request->hasFile('violator_photo');
$fileName = time().'_'.$violator_photo[$key]->getClientOriginalName();
$filePath = $violator_photo[$key]->storeAs('images/pelanggar', $fileName, 'public');
}
$data = new Violator();
$data->report_id = $report->id;
$data->name = $request->violator_name[$key];
$data->photo = $filePath[$key];
$data->age = $request->violator_age[$key];
$data->phone = $request->violator_phone[$key];
$data->save();
}
}
$files = $request->file('crime_scene_photo');
$files = [];
foreach($files as $key => $value) {
if($request->hasFile('crime_scene_photo')) {
$crime_scene_photo = $request->hasFile('crime_scene_photo');
$name = time().'_'.$crime_scene_photo[$key]->getClientOriginalName();
$path = $crime_scene_photo[$key]->storeAs('images/tkp', $name, 'public');
}
$data = new CrimeScenePhoto();
$data->report_id = $report->id;
$data->path = $path[$key];
$data->caption = $request->caption[$key];
$data->save();
}
if (\Auth::user()->unit_id == 2 && $request->personel) {
foreach ($request->personel as $key => $value) {
$report->members()->sync($request->personel[$key]);
}
}
return response()->json([
'status' => '200',
'message' => 'success',
'data' => [
$report,
$request->all()
],
]);
} catch (\Exception$err) {
return $this->respondInternalError([$err->getMessage(), $request->all()]);
}
}
And here is how I tested in postman.

Solved. i changed my code to like this and it work.
public function store(ReportRequest $request)
{
try {
$report = Report::create([
'category_id' => $request->category_id,
'user_id' => Auth::user()->id,
'title' => $request->title,
'description' => $request->description,
'incident_date' => $request->incident_date,
'injured_victims' => $request->injured_victims,
'survivors' => $request->survivors,
'dead_victims' => $request->dead_victims,
'location' => $request->location,
'latitude' => $request->latitude,
'longitude' => $request->longitude
]);
if ($request->hasFile('violator_photo')) {
foreach($request->file('violator_photo') as $key => $value) {
$vio_photo = $request->file('crime_scene_photo');
$fileName = time().'_'.$vio_photo[$key]->getClientOriginalName();
$filePath = $vio_photo[$key]->storeAs('images/pelanggar', $fileName, 'public');
Violator::create([
'report_id' => $report->id,
'name' => $request->violator_name[$key] ?? null,
'photo' => $filePath ?? null,
'age' => $request->violator_age[$key] ?? null,
'phone' => $request->violator_phone[$key] ?? null
]);
}
}
if ($request->hasFile('crime_scene_photo')) {
foreach($request->file('crime_scene_photo') as $key => $value) {
$crime_scene_photo = $request->file('crime_scene_photo');
$name = time().'_'.$crime_scene_photo[$key]->getClientOriginalName();
$path = $crime_scene_photo[$key]->storeAs('images/tkp', $name, 'public');
CrimeScenePhoto::create([
'report_id' => $report->id,
'path' => $path ?? null,
'caption' => $request->caption[$key] ?? null
]);
}
}
if (\Auth::user()->unit_id == 2 && $request->personel_id) {
foreach ($request->personel_id as $key => $value) {
$report->members()->attach($request->personel_id[$key]);
}
}
return response()->json([
'status' => '200',
'message' => 'success',
'data' => [
$report, $report->members, $report->violators, $report->photos
],
]);
} catch (\Exception$err) {
return $this->respondInternalError([$err->getMessage(), $request->all()]);
}
}
