Spatie Media Library File upload - for each file, create model record
Hello everyone,
I want every upload to be a different record. I though of editing the CreateAction and when I'm uploading loop through the files ($data) and create one record for each. Problem is: using SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload, the files don't go through the array $data, so I can't loop through them.
I'm not sure if I'm being clear, but I wonder if you can help?
In the screenshot I uploaded 5 files, but the $data array only returns the description.

With spatie’s package each file is it’s own record. It’s handle through a relationship.
I understand that, and makes sense. But what I'm trying to achieve is:
- Each user has lots of documents and each document has multiple options
-- you can set descriptions, expiration date, set it to public or private, etc
So I thought of creating a Model (UserDocuments) that implements the SpatieMediaLibrary, but has its own logic.
You don't think this is good approach?
I thought of using CustomProperties, but an isolated Model seemed more efficient
There’s already a relationship between the user and the media. So you can just get it from the user record. Look at the spatie docs to see how to do that.
Thank you @awcodes, I will look deeper at the docs!
make sure you look at the docs for the Spatie Media Library and not the Filament docs. 🙂
Got it! Thanks again for your help
