First, you need to install Proffer Component in your project directory .Open your terminal and go to your project directory then Run below command.

$ composer require 'davidyell/proffer:~0.6'After installing Proffer Component you'll need to load the plugin in your config/bootstrap.php file.\
Plugin::load('Proffer');

\

Ones the plugin is loaded in your bootstrap.php file now creates an upload field here we are using articles table which contains articles details with image.

articles table

```
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `articles` (  `id` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,  `title` varchar(50) DEFAULT NULL,  `body` text,  `image` varchar(255) NOT NULL,  `image_dir` varchar(255) NOT NULL,  `created` datetime DEFAULT NULL,  `modified` datetime DEFAULT NULL,  PRIMARY KEY (`id`));
```

Now you need to ensure that the fields are present in your entities $_accessible array.

``

src/Model/Entity/Article.php

```
// Make all fields mass assignable except for primary key field "id".    protected $_accessible = ['*' => true,'id' => false,'image'=>true,'image_dir'=>true,];
```

Now Need to Configuring the behaviour in your Table Model.

Configuring Input field in your templates.

```
<?php// Add the behaviour and configure any options you want$this->addBehavior('Proffer.Proffer', [                'image' => [    // The name of your upload field                    'root' => WWW_ROOT . 'img', // Customise the root upload folder here, or omit to use the default                    'dir' => 'image_dir',   // The name of the field to store the folder                    'thumbnailSizes' => [ // Declare your thumbnails                        'square' => [   // Define the prefix of your thumbnail                            'w' => 200, // Width                            'h' => 200, // Height                            'jpeg_quality'  => 100                        ],                        'portrait' => [     // Define a second thumbnail                            'w' => 100,                            'h' => 300                        ],                    ],                    'thumbnailMethod' => 'gd'   // Options are Imagick or Gd                ]            ]);
```

I hope this will help you.\

```
echo $this->Form->create($article,array('type' => 'file');echo $this->Form->input('title');echo $this->Form->input('body', ['rows' => '4']);echo $this->Form->input('image', ['type' => 'file']);echo $this->Form->button(__('Save Article');echo $this->Form->end();
```
