Use resource record ID in file upload path

I need to use the record id in my file path when uploading files. Is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing that? This is my form:

Section::make()
                    ->description('Attach any files related to this policy')
                    ->heading('Claim attachments')
                    ->schema([
                        FileUpload::make('attachments')
                            ->label('')
                            ->multiple()
                            ->disk('public')
                            ->directory('claim-attachments')
                            ->preserveFilenames()
                            ->downloadable()
                            ->enableOpen()
                            ->previewable(false)
                    ]),

Section::make()
                    ->description('Attach any files related to this policy')
                    ->heading('Claim attachments')
                    ->schema([
                        FileUpload::make('attachments')
                            ->label('')
                            ->multiple()
                            ->disk('public')
                            ->directory('claim-attachments')
                            ->preserveFilenames()
                            ->downloadable()
                            ->enableOpen()
                            ->previewable(false)
                    ]),

I would like to use something like, ->directory('claim-attachments' . $this->id)

Not sure if thats possible, since when you are uploading and you are creating a record, and thus since its not yet created it will be null

There is a mutateFormDataBeforeCreate() method you can call in the create page, but the attachments seem to be empty in the posted array, since they are uploaded in realtime. So I could get it to work on the edit page, but not during create. A workaround could potentially be to hide the file attachments during creation and only show it on the edit page. Is something like that possible? As amazing as filament is, I feel there are a lot of hacking needed in order to get basic things done unfortunately ;/ So, here is my solution using the mutateFormDataBeforeCreate() function when the form is submitted. It is based off of another user's code. It's not pretty, but it does work:

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        if (is_array($data['attachments'])) {

            // Get the next auto increment from the database.
            $nextAutoIncrement = Claim::getModel()::max('id') + 1;

            foreach ($data['attachments'] as $key => $value) {
                // Move the uploaded files from the temporary storage to the public storage.
                Storage::disk('public')->move( $value, 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value));

                // Change the file path to be the next auto increment.
                $data['attachments'][$key] = 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value);
            }
        }
        return $data;
    }

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        if (is_array($data['attachments'])) {

            // Get the next auto increment from the database.
            $nextAutoIncrement = Claim::getModel()::max('id') + 1;

            foreach ($data['attachments'] as $key => $value) {
                // Move the uploaded files from the temporary storage to the public storage.
                Storage::disk('public')->move( $value, 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value));

                // Change the file path to be the next auto increment.
                $data['attachments'][$key] = 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value);
            }
        }
        return $data;
    }

I am not yet going to mark this post as solved, since I would like to know if there isn't another easier way to do this. Thanks.

Cant you just do this? ->directory(Claim::max('id') + 1) I think you are overcomplicating it

Wayne_SwartOP•11mo ago

That's a great idea, thanks. Let me see if I can use that way. Thank you! Wow, thank you Matthew. I was over complicating it, your solution does indeed work.
