FileUpload Not storing to DB

I've setup a file upload called 'avatar', the image seems to upload fine as inside my docker container, inside my path in storage/ I can view (although it saves as a .webp extension instead of the .jpg I uploaded? But the url should store into my DB correct? It wont save and not sure what im missing.

                        Forms\Components\FileUpload::make('avatar')
                            ->image()
                            ->disk('local')
                            ->directory('offers'),

                        Forms\Components\FileUpload::make('avatar')
                            ->image()
                            ->disk('local')
                            ->directory('offers'),

Did you make the avatar fillable in the model ?

Jamie CeeOP•13mo ago

That may actually be a fair point... bare with I forgot, its always the simple things 🤣 Just now need a way to store the full URL rather than just the path/filename

This is so true 🫠

"http:\/\/localhost:8080\/storageoffers\/01HG0FBHXT0PVF1MCFVZB6E47G.png"

The image stores like this for some reason, is there a way to strip the tags so it stores as

http://localhost:8080/storage/offers/image.png

http://localhost:8080/storage/offers/image.png

Want to remove the " and the \ slashes

einnlleinhatt_•13mo ago

I'm not sure about that, maybe some config on the drive? Or docker things squint

Jamie CeeOP•13mo ago

Idk if its some encoding done by the file upload process. Just tryna trace through the codebase

Good luck 🍀

Found it, I was dumb For context, when I was following the docs, I had avatar cast as an array, which was causing the URL issue Actually want to re-open this. When using the FileUpload. On the edit page, should the image be pre-populated? As based on my custom logic, a null value will remove the image, as I want the option for a user to be able to remove an image, but also keep the same one if its unchanged I get no preview when I go to edit a record, so not sure if its supposed to?

@Jamie Cee how about the app url in your env file? In my case when I edit something with an image, the old one will be previewed and I can remove it.

Set to http://localhost at the moment as im developing locally

einnlleinhatt_•13mo ago

I usually change it to the url I access, since I'm using laragon I change it to mydomain.test

Jamie CeeOP•13mo ago

Oh I changed it from localhost to

APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080

APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8080

Try edit and see what's the path for the image.

Jamie CeeOP•13mo ago

But then thats gonna supply a URL to something that doesn't exist, no? It shows correctly in the table view:

                Tables\Columns\ImageColumn::make('avatar')
                    ->circular(),

                Tables\Columns\ImageColumn::make('avatar')
                    ->circular(),

Just not in the upload block in the form
