Help uploading files from client side and putting into stream.

Generally speaking I use the MountManager or storage manager in Laravel and upload to disk / folder. Which returns a file instance and you can sync to a relation or set an attribute for singular file relations. Here is a code snippet I am using elsewhere in a project:

// The manager is the mount manager I inject in the construct
use use League\Flysystem\MountManager;

// This part basically puts a file - even if it exists (it'll update)
$source = 'http://figgeartmuseum.org' . $row->filter('img')->first()->attr('src');

$basename = basename($source);
$filename = substr($basename, 0, strpos($basename, '.aspx')) . '.jpg';

// This little part puts the file to filesystem and returns a file interface from files module to work with.
// You can take this and sync it to a pivot table relation or whatever. This is a single file FT so I just set the attribute.
$item['image'] = $this->files->put(
    'local://collections/' . $filename,
    file_get_contents($source)
);

// And later the item is inserted
$this->items->create($item);

This is the important part. The files is the mount manager as mentioned. Using this or laravel storage system will auto-sync to files module and also return file instances where applicable.

$this->files->put(
    'local://collections/' . $filename,
    file_get_contents($source)
);

I don't really understand this method. Why is there a topic about this? https://pyrocms.com/documentation/files-module/2.4/integration/laravel-filesystem but you recommend me using something else? Im too old for this framework automatication. I imagine something simple like - uploading a file to the local storage in a specific folder which I created in Adminpanel, then referencing that uploaded file to a stream field.

Also I tried just a simple Storage::disk('local')->put('parkapumu_dokumenti/file',$request->file("files")[0]); But it gave me an error

SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'parent_id' in 'field list' (SQL: insert into `default_files_folders` (`disk_id`, `parent_id`, `created_at`, `created_by_id`, `sort_order`, `slug`) values (1, 4, 2018-06-06 16:08:57, 1, 5, file))

That will do it - and essentially what I showed you but I made the mistake of including a bunch of other crap lol.

However it thinks you are trying to make a folder because of the naming. Your put method needs to include the extension:

Storage::disk('local')->put('parkapumu_dokumenti/file.jpg',$request->file("files")[0]);

You can use the file name from the request object too I think.

Hmm, the error is saying something about parent_id being null/empty. I did add the extension and that wasn't it. What kind of parent_id is it talking about? How can I even pass it to the method?

Ok, thanks, the problem solved, just took out disk('local') and used straight put, now it uploads fine. But I need some help assigning the uploaded files to the stream.

               $files = $request->file("files");
                if(!empty($files)){
                    foreach ($files as $key => $value) {
                        Storage::put('dokumenti/'.$value->hashName(),file_get_contents($value));
                    }
                }
                $report = $reports->create([
                    "field1" => $q1,
                    "field2" => $q2,
                    "field3" => $saskare,
                    "field4" => $q4,
                    "field5" => $q5,
                    "field6" => $q6
                ]);

There is a field files, how do I assign each uploaded file to the $report?

Figured it out myself $report->Files()->syncWithoutDetaching($file->id); for each uploaded file.

Nicely done!
