    \UniSharp\LaravelFilemanager\Lfm::routes();
});
```

--------------------------------

### UploadListener Class for Handling ImageWasUploaded Event

Source: https://unisharp.github.io/laravel-filemanager/events

This class contains the `handle` method to dispatch to specific event handler methods based on the event's class name. The `onImageWasUploaded` method processes the uploaded image event.

```php
class UploadListener
{
    public function handle($event)
    {
        $method = 'on'.class_basename($event);
        if (method_exists($this, $method)) {
            call_user_func([$this, $method], $event);
        }
    }

    public function onImageWasUploaded(ImageWasUploaded $event)
    {

```javascript
var lfm = function(id, type, options) {
  let button = document.getElementById(id);

  button.addEventListener('click', function () {
    var route_prefix = (options && options.prefix) ? options.prefix : '/laravel-filemanager';
    var target_input = document.getElementById(button.getAttribute('data-input'));
    var target_preview = document.getElementById(button.getAttribute('data-preview'));

    window.open(route_prefix + '?type=' + options.type || 'file', 'FileManager', 'width=900,height=600');
    window.SetUrl = function (items) {
      var file_path = items.map(function (item) {
        return item.url;
      }).join(',');

      // set the value of the desired input to image url
      target_input.value = file_path;
      target_input.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));

      // clear previous preview
      target_preview.innerHtml = '';

      // set or change the preview image src
      items.forEach(function (item) {
        let img = document.createElement('img')
        img.setAttribute('style', 'height: 5rem')
        img.setAttribute('src', item.thumb_url)
        target_preview.appendChild(img);
      });

      // trigger change event
      target_preview.dispatchEvent(new Event('change'));
    };
  });
};
```
