Programmatically fill file field fype

Programmatically fill file field fype

Hi,

I'm working on an old news website migration to PyroCMS. I've already imported all posts data to PyroCMS Post stream.

I've a problem, I need to fill an aditional File type field (cover photo) adden on posts. I don't understand how to programmatically set a file field type stream for a model. Reading the documentation I've found that file field type can be set with a file instance (I asume is an Eloquent model instance).

This is how I'm setting post model on import process:

$post = $this->post->create(
                          [
                              'es' => [
                                  'title' => $article->titulo,
                                  'summary' => $article->encabezado,
                              ],
                              'slug' => $slug,
                              'created_at' => $article->fecha,
                              'updated_at' => $article->fecha,
                              'publish_at' => time(),
                              'enabled' => true,
                              'type' => $type,
                              'entry' => $content,
                              'category' => $category,
                              'author' => 1,
                          ]
                      );

What I'm targeting into is, that this images should be later be updated from PyroCMS admin interface, so I wan't to emulate/follow the same process with disk/folder storage used in PyroCMS. My files are stored in a temporary folder for import process.

Thanks for your help.
