You can just pass 'nullable' or combine it with 'sometimes' against the image in validate array instead of required. This way you can skip the excess code of tap function.

hey great as always but can you please make some episodes and focus on some tricky thing like the very first episodes of this series for example like making elequent and queries optimized or best practice of getting many to many relationship in view i mean optimized way and for this episode specially, what if we wanna implement from 1 to 10 images for user based on user wish if he wanna upload or not what would be the case then . . . and in general some sort of mistakes that beginners always make and tricks from real world projects that make coding easy for them :) thanks for great share again .

Thanks a lot. Will you have plans to create a good comments system or use some way with repository?

For some reason adding the 'image' to my create migration and doing the whole fresh --seed thing didn't create a new column in my db. The image string was inserted into 'created_at' column instead. I had to create a new migration to add that column on its own.

Now after the video is done everything works except for the edit of the customers with the error "The PATCH method is not supported for this route. Supported methods: GET, HEAD." and currently I've no idea why. At 2:48 I can almost see that you removed the @method('PATCH') line from that page for some reason? Is that related?
EDIT: Fixed the edit part, for whatever reason my route in the edit.blade.php was customers.edit instead of customers.update, no idea when and how that happened. Maybe when I was fixing the routes in all the actions I made a mistake here.

When i run the php artisan storage:link this is what i get
The system cannot find the path specified.
The [public/storage] directory has been linked.
It does not create any folder in the public directory. i have been stuck here for hours. i have googled and tried a lot but i couldn't find any solution. do you have any idea why this happens?

[exoticwoodpen]

I'm new to laravel and getting started with 5.8 and just came across your channel and I'm learning a lot just from a few videos! In this video your process for uploading an image will it work for a folder of multiple images for a shopping cart? I'm using my own images for my own website. Looking forward to watching your whole series.

At 15:00 min into video you mention a directory named uploads. storage/app/public/uploads. In my storage/app/public all I have is gitnore. Did I miss adding this directory?
