Validation with img upload with laravel

Question

I'm trying to insert data to the database and at the same time uploading an image to the path. It seems the problem is with the validation, but I can't see where is the error. I've been stuck for two days trying to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here's the code for the upload:

 protected function store(Request $request)
  {

      $nameFile = null;


      if ($request->hasFile('image')) {


          $name = uniqid(date('HisYmd'));


          $extension = $request->image->extension();


          $nameFile = "{$name}.{$extension}";


          $upload = $request->image->storeAs('categories', $nameFile);

          return $namefile;

      }
  }

Here's the create function:

protected function create(array $data){
     $image = $this->store();
     return Bottleneck::create([
        'setor_id' => $data['setor_id'],
        'mes' => $data['mes'],
        'ano' => $data['ano'],
        'andon' => $data['andon'],
        'conteudo' => $data['coteudo'],
        'atividade_total' => $data['atividade_total'],
        'image' => $image
     ]);
 }

Here's the validation:

 protected function validator(array $data){
     return Validator::make($data , [
        'setor_id' => ['required', 'integer', 'exists:setor_linha,id'],
        'mes' => ['required', 'integer'],
        'ano' => ['required', 'integer'],
        'andon' => ['required', 'string'],
        'conteudo' => ['required', 'string'],
        'atividade_total' => ['required', 'string'],
        'image' => ['image'],
     ]);
 }

The save function:

public function save(Request $request){
     $validation = $this->validator($request->all());
     if($validation->fails()){
         Session::flash('message', 'Error');
        return redirect()->route('bottleneck');
     }else{
        $bottleneck = $this->create($request->all());
        Session::flash('message', 'Success');
        return redirect()->route('bottleneck');
     }
 }

And here's my form:

<form method="POST" action="{{route("create.bottleneck")}}">
                    @csrf
                    <div class="form-group row">

Answer 1

Your form needs to have the enctype="multipart/form-data" attribute to upload images.
