Using intervention/image for upload /resizing with Laravel API

Question

I am trying to upload an image to the database with a path created in public (i.e., uploads/images) but unfortunately, it is not displaying any error, and the image is not uploaded or saved to the directory.

Controller

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Image;

class ImagesController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return view('image');
    }

    public function upload(Request $request)
    {
        $this->validate($request, [
            'images' => 'required|image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,gif,svg|max:2048',
        ]);

        $image = $request->file('images');
        $input['imagename'] = time() . '.' . $image->getClientOriginalExtension();

        $destinationPath = public_path('/uploads/images');
        $img = Image::make($image->getRealPath());
        $img->resize(100, 100, function ($constraint) {
            $constraint->aspectRatio();
        })->save($destinationPath . '/' . $input['imagename']);

        $destinationPath = public_path('/images');
        $image->move($destinationPath, $input['imagename']);
        $this->postImage->add($input);

        if (!empty($input['imagename'])) {
            return response()->json([
                'success' => true,
                'data' => $input['imagename']->toArray()
            ]);
        }

        return true;
    }
}

Route

Route::post('upload', 'ImagesController@upload');

Model

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Image extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['image'];
}

Try to adopt this style then run

php artisan storage:link 

Also, change your controller to this

public function upload(Request $request)
    {

        $img = new Image();

        $validation = $request->validate([
            'title' => 'string',
            'image' => 'required|file|image|mimes:jpeg,png,gif,webp|max:2048'
        ]);
        $file      = $validation['image']; // get the validated file
        $extension = $file->getClientOriginalExtension();
        $filename  = 'mm-image-' . time() . '.' . $extension;
        $path      = $file->storeAs('/uploads/images', $filename);
        $img->image = $request->image;
        $img->title = $path;

        dd($img);


            if (!empty($img)){
                return response()([
                    'success' => true,
                    'data' => $img->toArray()
                ]);;

            }
    }
