Laravel base64 image Api - laravel

Question

I am developing API in Laravel. I will receive the image in base64 format. How can I convert the base64 to image in Laravel?
public function profile_image_upload(User $user, Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'picture' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg|max:2048',
], []);
if ($user->picture !== null)
Storage::delete($user->picture);
$res_upload = uploadService::store_image($request->file('picture'), config('upload.user_profile_picture_storage_path'));
if ($res_upload)
return $user->update([
'picture' => $res_upload,
]);
return false;

Answer 1

you can create this helper function
in Helper.php ref link https://laravel-news.com/creating-helpers
function base64ImageUpload($path, $file)
{
$image = $file; // your base64 encoded
if (preg_match('/base64/', $file)) {
$imageInfo = explode(";base64,", $image);
$imgExt = str_replace('data:image/', '', $imageInfo[0]);
$image = substr($image, strpos($image, ",") + 1);
$name = \Str::random(40) . '.' . $imgExt;
$filePath = $path . '/' . $name;
\Storage::put($filePath, base64_decode($image));
return $filePath;
} else {
return null;
}
}
then whenever u need to upload u can just call this function like
$imageLocation = base64ImageUpload(config('upload.user_profile_picture_storage_path'),$request->picture);
