Laravel 9: Dropzone js why showing [object object] and returns response (Method not allowed)?

I have an action class that runs across the entire app which handles file (images) uploads:
class UploadImageAction implements UploadImageContract
{
public function handle(Request $request, $imageProperty, $image, $imageDir)
{
if ($request->hasFile($imageProperty)) {
// Handle uploading lf_image
if (!is_null($image) && Storage::exists($image)) {
// Throw exceptions here
Storage::delete($image);
}
// Throw exceptions here
return $request->file($imageProperty)->store($imageDir);
}
}
}
And I resolve() this class withing the Service class:
public function handleAttachments($request, $report)
{
// Handle Attachments
$uploadImageAction = resolve(UploadImageAction::class);
// Handle attachment action
if($request->hasFile('attachment')) {
$report->attachment = $uploadImageAction->handle($request, 'attachment', $report->attachment, 'reports');
}
return $report;
}
Then passing it to the controller like so:
public function store(ReportsRequest $request, ReportService $reportService)
{
try
{
$reportService->storeReport($request);
return redirect('data-entry/reports')->with('success', 'Report Added Successfully');
}
catch (ImageUploadException $exception)
{
}
Reason for not calling handleAttachment() in the store() is because it's already passed with the validation within storeReport() method in Service class:
$report->fill($request->validated());
$report = $this->handleAttachments($request, $report);
$report->save();
This functionality works, but sinsce I tried adding Dropzone, that's where the issue happened.
the url of the dropzone is set like so: url: "{{ route('data-entry.reports.create') }}",. Also tried reports.store instead of .create
This is what I get in laravel debugbar:
and in the dev tools:
JS code:
// set the dropzone container id
const id = "#kt_dropzonejs_example_2";
const dropzone = document.querySelector(id);
// set the preview element template
var previewNode = dropzone.querySelector(".dropzone-item");
previewNode.id = "";
var previewTemplate = previewNode.parentNode.innerHTML;
previewNode.parentNode.removeChild(previewNode);
var myDropzone = new Dropzone(id, { // Make the whole body a dropzone
url: "{{ route('data-entry.reports.create') }}", // Set the url for your upload script location
parallelUploads: 20,
previewTemplate: previewTemplate,
maxFilesize: 1, // Max filesize in MB
autoQueue: false, // Make sure the files aren't queued until manually added
previewsContainer: id + " .dropzone-items", // Define the container to display the previews
clickable: id + " .dropzone-select" // Define the element that should be used as click trigger to select files.
});
myDropzone.on("addedfile", function (file) {
// Hookup the start button
file.previewElement.querySelector(id + " .dropzone-start").onclick = function () { myDropzone.enqueueFile(file); };
const dropzoneItems = dropzone.querySelectorAll('.dropzone-item');
dropzoneItems.forEach(dropzoneItem => {
dropzoneItem.style.display = '';
});
dropzone.querySelector('.dropzone-upload').style.display = "inline-block";
dropzone.querySelector('.dropzone-remove-all').style.display = "inline-block";
});
// Update the total progress bar
myDropzone.on("totaluploadprogress", function (progress) {
const progressBars = dropzone.querySelectorAll('.progress-bar');
progressBars.forEach(progressBar => {
progressBar.style.width = progress + "%";
});
});
myDropzone.on("sending", function (file) {
// Show the total progress bar when upload starts
const progressBars = dropzone.querySelectorAll('.progress-bar');
progressBars.forEach(progressBar => {
progressBar.style.opacity = "1";
});
// And disable the start button
file.previewElement.querySelector(id + " .dropzone-start").setAttribute("disabled", "disabled");
});
// Hide the total progress bar when nothing's uploading anymore
myDropzone.on("complete", function (progress) {
const progressBars = dropzone.querySelectorAll('.dz-complete');
setTimeout(function () {
progressBars.forEach(progressBar => {
progressBar.querySelector('.progress-bar').style.opacity = "0";
progressBar.querySelector('.progress').style.opacity = "0";
progressBar.querySelector('.dropzone-start').style.opacity = "0";
});
}, 300);
});
// Setup the buttons for all transfers
dropzone.querySelector(".dropzone-upload").addEventListener('click', function () {
myDropzone.enqueueFiles(myDropzone.getFilesWithStatus(Dropzone.ADDED));
});
// Setup the button for remove all files
dropzone.querySelector(".dropzone-remove-all").addEventListener('click', function () {
dropzone.querySelector('.dropzone-upload').style.display = "none";
dropzone.querySelector('.dropzone-remove-all').style.display = "none";
myDropzone.removeAllFiles(true);
});
// On all files completed upload
myDropzone.on("queuecomplete", function (progress) {
const uploadIcons = dropzone.querySelectorAll('.dropzone-upload');
uploadIcons.forEach(uploadIcon => {
uploadIcon.style.display = "none";
});
});
// On all files removed
myDropzone.on("removedfile", function (file) {
if (myDropzone.files.length < 1) {
dropzone.querySelector('.dropzone-upload').style.display = "none";
dropzone.querySelector('.dropzone-remove-all').style.display = "none";
}
});

As set in your route file (in the comment) the post route is named 'data-entry.reports.store'
So change the route:
var myDropzone = new Dropzone(id, { // Make the whole body a dropzone
url: "{{ route('data-entry.reports.store') }}", // Set the url for your upload script location
parallelUploads: 20,
previewTemplate: previewTemplate,
maxFilesize: 1, // Max filesize in MB
autoQueue: false, // Make sure the files aren't queued until manually added
previewsContainer: id + " .dropzone-items", // Define the container to display the previews
clickable: id + " .dropzone-select" // Define the element that should be used as click trigger to select files.
});
make sure to clear your route cache using php artisan route:clear

I figured out the issue
Since the image upload field is required, as well as the rest of the form, Dropzone doesn't read the uploaded file since there are some required fields haven't been filled!
Dropzone actually have a documentation about this:
https://docs.dropzone.dev/configuration/tutorials/combine-form-data-with-files
Since the files are combined with data in the Service class, I need to set autoProcessQueue to false and trigger it with the submit button like myDropzone.processQueue(); once all of the fields are filled to send everything to DB at once.

My javascript function only fires once

I have a pretty basic step by step wizard I created. When you select an option from a drop down menu on page 1, I load a new page via jQuery ajax. If you hit back, it loads the original page again.
However after loading the original page again, my modelSelect() function that loads page 2 stops working. Doesn't fire at all. I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing wrong.
I'm hoping someone can see what I'm doing wrong. My code is below:
//Collapse panel handling
var group = jQuery('.estimator-container');
jQuery('.tab-click').click(function() {
group.find('.collapse.in').collapse('hide');
jQuery(this).parent().toggleClass('active');
});
/* -------------------------------------- *\
New form handler
\* -------------------------------------- */
function modelSelect(v) {
jQuery('#page_2, .estimator-container').toggle();
// Ajax for loading page_2
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
data: v,
success: function() {
jQuery('.estimator-app').load(templateUrl + "/page-estimator2.php?p=" + v);
}
});
}
jQuery('.estimator-panel').on('change', '.select-model', function() {
var v = jQuery(this).val();
modelSelect(v);
}); //end on change function
// Back and continue handling
jQuery('.estimator-app').on('click', '.estimator_form_btn_next', function() {
var backBtn = jQuery('.estimator_form_btn_back');
var continueBtn = jQuery('.estimator_form_btn_next');
var firstPage = jQuery('#contact-first-page');
var lastPage = jQuery('#contact-last-page');
if (firstPage.is(":visible")) {
firstPage.toggle();
lastPage.toggle();
}
}); //end continue
// Go back
jQuery('.estimator-app').on('click', '.estimator_form_btn_back', function() {
var backBtn = jQuery('.estimator_form_btn_back');
var continueBtn = jQuery('.estimator_form_btn_next');
var firstPage = jQuery('#contact-first-page');
var lastPage = jQuery('#contact-last-page');
if (lastPage.is(":visible")) {
firstPage.toggle();
lastPage.toggle();
} else {
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
// data: v,
success: function() {
jQuery('.estimator-app').load(templateUrl + "/estimator-initial.php");
}
});
}
}); //end continue

Simple delegation.
Adding jQuery(document).on('change', '.select-model', function(){ on line 29 made it work.

Change your this line:
jQuery('.estimator-panel').on('change', '.select-model', function() {
to this
jQuery(document).off('change', '.select-model').on('change', '.select-model', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
because if HTML is loaded after page load OR by some kind of JS, you need to deattach event and then attach back,

send drag and drop files manually using "jQuery Form Plugin"

I am a bit stuck here and I need help..
I am trying to make drag and drop file upload in my website, I have started from scratch since I could not find any plugin that will fit my needs.
this is what I have so far:
File Drop detection:
var dropzone = document.getElementById('holder');
dropzone.ondragover = function(){
this.className = 'well pull-left display-ex-pic drag_hover';
return false;
}
dropzone.ondragleave = function(){this.className = 'well pull-left display-ex-pic'; return false;}
dropzone.ondrop = function(e){
e.preventDefault();
this.className = 'well pull-left display-ex-pic';
readURLs(e.dataTransfer.files);//display the pictures
images = e.dataTransfer.files;
images_obj = e.dataTransfer;
}
submitting the form through AJAX:
formImages = new FormData();
var status = $('#status');
$('#image_upload').hide();
$('form').ajaxForm({
beforeSend: function() {
$('#image_upload').show();
$('#math li .mathquill-editable').each(function() {
a = $('#math-text').val();
$('#math-text').val(a + $(this).mathquill('latex') + '[{line}]');
});
for (var x = 0; x < images.length; x = x + 1) {
formImages.append(images[x].fileName, images[x]);
}
},
data: {'files[]': formImages},
uploadProgress: function(event, position, total, percentComplete) {
var percentVal = percentComplete + '%';
$('#image_upload').attr('aria-valuenow', percentComplete).css('width', percentComplete + '%').html(percentComplete + '%');
},
complete: function(xhr) {
status.html(xhr.responseText);
}
});
Now my problem is that after the user drops the files the files get into a files array using e.dataTransfer.files and then I want to submit those files with a progress bar along with all of the form data using the "jQuery Form Plugin" from here http://malsup.com/jquery/form/.
Does anyone know how is it possible to send files using the "jQuery Form Plugin" manually?

I just happen to found this plugin and it works perfectly in very short time of implementation.
http://www.dropzonejs.com/#installation
Basically:
Include the plugin
Include the HTML
Code your File
Receiver at server side ( example included in the URL )
Adjust
CSS.

Remove a div of currently uploaded item

==== UPDATED QUESTION ====
I have control over onComplete state. That's not the case. The problem is that I don't know how to remove currently uploaded item's Progress Bar. Pls, check the screenshot.
I am using a jQuery plugin for multiupload with the support of HTML5 File API located on this website named damnUploader.
File upload works fine, but I'm stuck at the point where I need to hide the uploading progress bar once the upload is finished, but do not know how to do it without any special key to tell to remove progress bar from that element.
==== UPDATED QUESTION ====
To clarify my question, here is a screenshot. 5th and 6th images are at the uploading state. 6th image is about to be finished, so once it's successfully uploaded, I want to hide that progress bar which is below that image, but without touching the other progress bars on the other items.
Here is the javascript code (just search the function where is console.log(this._id); line:
var announcements = function () {
/*** ******************** ***/
/*** 1.1 MAIN INIT METHOD ***/

Make a custom event and trigger it with Jquery:
$( "#hide_loading" ).on( "done", function() {
( "#hide_loading" ).animate({
opacity: 0
}, 5000);
});
if ( success ) {
$( ".hide_loading").trigger( "loadingfade" );
}
and if you completely want to remove it from the DOM structure after the animation:
$( "#hide_loading" ).on( "loadingfade", function() {
$( ".hide_loading" ).animate({
//put animations here (don't forget cross browser compatibility)
opacity: 0,
}, 5000, function() { //this function is called when the animation is completed
$( "#hide_loading" ).remove();
});
});
(now just add the class hide_loading to your loading elements)

Controls won't work after a recursive call jquery

I am opening mvc view(s) inside a modal dialog.
I am trying to make a recursive call and the problem I am facing is : after the recursive call the view loads properly but none of the controls on the view work :
In Main.js :
$(function () {
$(document).on('click', '.ddlCart li', Mod.Carts);
}
Carts.js :
var Mod = Mod || {};
Mod.Carts = function (e) {
var ddlselectedVal = $(this).attr('id');
var selectedListinsCount = selected_Listings.length;
var SelectedMlsnums = selected_Listings.join();
var agentId = $("#AgentId").val();
var Action;
var EnvironmentURL = $("#EnvironmentURL").val();
var postData = { AgentId: agentId, Mlsnums: SelectedMlsnums, ActionTypeValue: “PreAddToCart” };
var close = function (event, ui) {
$('#dvModalDialog').dialog("close");
}
var open = function (event, ui) {
var url = EnvironmentURL + "MLSReports/Stats/SearchContacts";
$("#btncart_cancel").on("click", function () {
$('#dvModalDialog').dialog("close");
});
$("#btncart_submit").on("click", function () {
var url = EnvironmentURL + "MLSReports/Stats/Cart";
//Send the data using post and put the results in a div
$.post(url, {
AgentId: agentId, Mlsnums: SelectedMlsnums, ActionTypeValue: "AddToCart"
},
function (data) {
// Replace current data with data from the ajax call to the div.
$("#dvModalDialog").empty().append(data);
});
});
$("#lnkCreateNewcart").on("click", function () {
var url = EnvironmentURL + "MLSReports/Stats/Cart";
//Send the data using post and put the results in a div
$.post(url, {
ActionTypeValue: "preAddorEditContact"
},
function (data) {
//debugger;
// Replace current data with data from the ajax call to the div.
$("#dvModalDialog").empty().append(data);
$("#btnCancelContact").on("click", function () {
////********** replace the view (Contact) with the view (Cart).
// In the cancel event I am loading the previous page.I am having problem here. after a recursive call none of the controls work.**
// rd.open();
this.Mod.Carts();
});
});
});
};
if (ddlselectedVal == "AddtoCart") {
var rd = Mod.ReportsDialog({ title: 'Add To Cart', close: close, open: open });
rd.url = EnvironmentURL + "/MLSReports/Stats/Cart";
rd.targetElement = '#dvModalDialog'// '#dvSendEmail'
rd.formName = '#frmCart'
rd.postData = postData
rd.open();
}
};

The value of this inside of the referenced function is going to be different when this.Mod.Carts(); is used. You should use call in this scenario to bind the value of this to the proper value when calling the Carts function.
$("#btnCancelContact").on("click", function () {
Mod.Carts.call(this);
});
