update user avatar with laravel5 - laravel

Question

From the look of it seems to me very logic but I am missing something, it doesn't work, nothing changes!
Here is my profile controller file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Auth;
use Image;
class ProfileController extends Controller
{
public function profile()
{
$user = Auth::user();
return view('profile')->with('user', $user);
}
public function edit()
{
$user = Auth::user();
return view('edit')->with('user', $user);
}
public function update(Request $request)
{
if($request->hasFile('avatar'))
{
$avatar = $request->file('avatar');
$filename = time().'.'.$avatar->getClientOriginalExtension();
Image::make($avatar)->resize(300, 300)->save(public_path('/uploads/users_avatars/'.$filename));
$user = Auth::user();
$user->avatar = $filename;
$user->save();
}
return redirect('profile')->with('user', Auth::user());
}
}
and here is my edit.blade.php
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('content')
<div class="col-md-6">
{!! Form::model($user, ['method'=>'PATCH', 'action'=>'ProfileController#update', 'file'=>'true']) !!}

It seems like you have made a mistake while using Form from Laravel HTML Collective. You should use "files" => true instead of "file" => true
{!! Form::model($user, ['method'=>'PATCH', 'action'=>'ProfileController#update', 'file'=>'true']) !!}
