What is the best practice to work with forms in Laravel?

I'm writing my first Laravel app and i'm confused a little about how laravel works with forms.

In the head of my app - image generation. I need help with app logic and maybe some links to docs that will help me understand how to write good code.
I call it scene manager. Manager have 3 main functions - create, edit, delete scene. I have ugly form to create scene. In this form i have to collect info 3 diff layers of photo (like mask, effects, etc) - width, height, control points where top image will be placed. Kinda tricky a little. Here is an image: form

I created a viewer for this form, route takes me there .. and if i've got right - i have to submit this form to the SceneController. Where i will receive data, save image to the server and write data to DB. Than i must call outside php script to do some magic and return me an image - that i have to show on result page.

I discovered that i can use FORM method:
// with arguments:

'url' => 'generate', 'method'=>'POST', 'files'=>true

but what is the best practice to collect, send and receive data? Object / array or what?

Will be glad to see your ideas, sources, links. I'm really confused about that. Thanks!

Laravel return the page on any address except from routes

I have a list of routes for my Laravel application. Now, I want to return the same page as is returned on / for all routes that are not listed. I.e.

/hello/world <-> binded to "Hello world" page
/blah/blah <-> binded to "Blah Blah" p

Now, no matter what user requests (GET) and how many slashes in the request are (/asdfda/sadfasdf/asdfasdf, eafsadfsda, asdfadsfasd/adsfsdaf), I want to return the same page. I do not want it to be 404 though, as I want to keep that a legal route.

---

I tried

Route::get('{all?}', [
    'as' => 'spa.index',
    'uses' => 'SPAController@index',
]);

But that works only if there are no slashes.

---

Do someone knows how to do that?

How to update image using controller in laravel?

I want to update user image but it's not getting updated. I have used following controller for updating the image.. Can you suggest what's the mistake in controller function?

View part :

<div class="form-group">
            <label>Image Upload</label>
            <input type="file" name="image"  id="image"><img src="" width="200px"/></br>
 </div> 

Controller function :

public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    $data=Course::findOrFail($id);  

    if ($request->hasFile('image'))
        {
            $file = $request->file('image');
            $timestamp = str_replace([' ', ':'], '-', Carbon::now()->toDateTimeString()); 
            $name = $timestamp. '-' .$file->getClientOriginalName();
            $data->image = $name;
            $file->move(public_path().'/images/', $name);              
        }   
          $data->update($request->all());              
      return redirect('course');
}

POST http://localhost:8080/myapp/public/login 401 (Unauthorized) in calling Laravel API

Hello I have a laravel API to call for login. But seems the angular js won't pass the data from input. I'm just new to Angular.

Here's my Login controller:

public function login(Request $request) { $email = $request->input('email'); $password = $request->input('password'); $user = User::where('email', '=', $email)->first(); if (!$user) { //return an error if user is not found in the database return response()->json(['error' => 'employee_not_authorized'], 401); } else { try{ // verify the credentials and create a token for the user if (!$token = JWTAuth::fromUser($user)) { return response()->json(['error' => 'invalid_credentials'], 401); } } catch (JWTException $e) { return response()->json(['error' => 'could_not_create_token'], 500); } // if no errors are encountered we can return a JWT return response()->json(compact('token')); } }

And here's my angularjs controller for login that consumes laravel api but it is not working, it kept me giving error authorize 401 though testing in postman, laravel api works.

Signin: function (username, password) { //return $http.get("http://localhost:8080/bcpp/webservice/api.php?action=login&employee_id=" + username + "&pass=" + password) //.then(function (response) { // return (response.data); //});
return $http({ url: "../login", method: 'POST', data: { email: username, password: password }, headers: { 'Content-Type' : 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'} }); },

Disclaimer: some code intended not to be completed.Please help. Thank you.

How to update file in laravel 5 without losing the previous file

I have a form with multiple input in it, here is the code :

@if (isset($jurnal))
    {!! Form::hidden('id', $jurnal->id) !!}
@endif

@if ($errors->any())
    <div class="form-group ">
@else
    <div class="form-group">
@endif
    {!! Form::label('title', 'Title :', ['class' => 'control-label']) !!}
    {!! Form::text('title', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
    @if ($errors->has('title'))
        <span class="help-block"></span>
    @endif
</div>

@if ($errors->any())
    <div class="form-group ">
@else
    <div class="form-group">
@endif
    {!! Form::label('author', 'Author :', ['class' => 'control-label']) !!}
    {!! Form::text('author', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
    @if ($errors->has('author'))
        <span class="help-block"></span>
    @endif
</div>

@if ($errors->any())
    <div class="form-group ">
@else
    <div class="form-group">
@endif
    {!! Form::label('file', 'File Jurnal (PDF) :') !!}
    {!! Form::file('file') !!}
    @if ($errors->has('file'))
        <span class="help-block"></span>
    @endif
</div>

<div class="form-group">
    {!! Form::submit($submitButtonText, ['class' => 'btn btn-primary form-control']) !!}
</div>

And here is the controller :

private function uploadPDF(JurnalRequest $request)
    {
        $file = $request->file('file');
        $ext  = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();

        if ($request->file('file')->isValid()) {
            $pdf_name   = date('YmdHis'). ".$ext";
            $upload_path = 'pdfupload';
            $request->file('file')->move($upload_path, $pdf_name);

            // Filename untuk database --> 20160220214738.pdf
            return $pdf_name;
        }
        return false;
    }

    public function store(JurnalRequest $request)
    {
        $input = $request->all();

        //Input PDF
        if ($request->hasFile('file')) {
            $input['file'] = $this->uploadPDF($request);
        }

        //Insert data jurnal
        $jurnal = Jurnal::create($input);

        return redirect('jurnal');
    }

These data are editable including the file, what I wanted to know is that how is the update function would look like ? For example, the user wanted to update the title or the author data but not the file, how to do it without losing the previous file ? I am new to Laravel 5 and I'm stuck here, please help, thank you.
