Laravel - Create custom name while uploading image using storage

I am trying to upload a file using laravel Storage i.e $request->file('input_field_name')->store('directory_name'); but it is saving the file in specified directory with random string name.

Now I want to save the uploaded file with custom name i.e current timestamp concatenate with actual file name. Is there any fastest and simplest way to achive this functionality.

Try with following work : 

 $image =  time() .'_'. $request->file('image')->getClientOriginalName();   
 $path = base_path() . '/public/uploads/';
 $request->file('image')->move($path, $image);

You can also try this one.

$originalName = time().'.'.$file->getClientOriginalName();
$filename = str_slug(pathinfo($originalName, PATHINFO_FILENAME), "-");
$extension = pathinfo($originalName, PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
$path = public_path('/uploads/');

//Call getNewFileName function 
$finalFullName = $this->getNewFileName($filename, $extension, $path);

// Function getNewFileName 

public function getNewFileName($filename, $extension, $path)
    {

        $i = 1;
        $new_filename = $filename . '.' . $extension;
        while (File::exists($path . $new_filename))
            $new_filename = $filename . '_' . $i++ . '.' . $extension;
        return $new_filename;

    }

You also can try like this

$ImgValue     = $request->service_photo;
$getFileExt   = $ImgValue->getClientOriginalExtension();
$uploadedFile =   time()'.'.$getFileExt;
$uploadDir    = public_path('UPLOAS_PATH');
$ImgValue->move($uploadDir, $uploadedFile);

Thanks,

You can use below code :

Use File Facade

use Illuminate\Http\File;

Make Following Changes in Your Code

$custom_file_name = time().'-'.$request->file('input_field_name')->getClientOriginalName();
$path = $request->file('input_field_name')->storeAs('directory_name',$custom_file_name);

For more detail : Laravel Filesystem And storeAs as mention by @Alexey Mezenin

Hope this code will help :)

Use storeAs() instead:

$request->file('input_field_name')->storeAs('directory_name', time().'.jpg');
