Call to a member function storeAs() on null - laravel

Question

I want to store images with id to table and save them to a folder.
I have two tables catalogs and images.Images table has img_id which is a foreign key to id in catalogs table, code in my controller is:
$catalog = new Katalog();
$catalog->name = $name;
$catalog->picturePath = $name . '/';
$catalog->description = $desc;
$catalog->address = $request->input('address');
$catalog->phone_number = $request->input('phone_number');
$catalog->email = $request->input('e_mail');
$catalog->info_holder = $request->input('type');
$catalog->partner_logo = $logo_img_name;
$catalog->short_news = $request->input('short_news');
$catalog->updated_at = Carbon::now();
$catalog->site = $request->input('site');
$catalog->creator_id = Auth::user()->id;
$catalog->save();
$id = Katalog::where('name', $name)->first()->id;
if ($request->hasFile('images')) {
foreach ($request->file('images') as $image) {
$img_name = $image->getClientOriginalName();
$request->image->storeAs(('/images/' . $name), $img_name, 'images');
Image::creat([
'img_id' => $id,
'img_name' => $img_name
]);
}
}
After storing data to the catalogs table it returns a new id but I want to store images to images table with returned id but can not do this.Error shows here $request->image->storeAs(('/images/' . $name), $img_name, 'images');
Help me please thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You can get the ID from the just created object (Katalog) without a query
$id = $catalog->id;
instead of
$id = Katalog::where('name', $name)->first()->id;
Because if there are other Katalog records with the same name, you may not get the one you want
PS: you may have a typo here, add an "e" at the end
Image::create([
'img_id' => $id,
'img_name' => $img_name
]);
Hope this helps
