How to access file(s) before submitting a form
In a table header action I have form that I want it to interact with an AI service.
The form entails an file upload and an action right below it.
When the action us trigger the file uploaded will be sent to the service and then use the response to fill other read only section of the form and now the form can be submitted.
I have tried using the $get() to access the file in the temporary storage but I am getting an associative array with a random key every time I uploaded an image.
Kindly assist, thank you.

you can use $this->form->getState but it will upload the files and process them for your use. Otherwise you can use $this->form->getRawState() and handle the file manually.
Nope this works only when the form is submitted, if I decide to use javascript I have no Idea how I can access the file from filamanet but ill what I can do
If it’s only one image you could always use the Arr facade to grab the first item.
Arr::first($get(‘image_field’))I tried this too and all I get is an Instance of \Livewire\TemporaryFIleUpoad where I can see all I want but accessing the properties is problem.
Yea, well in livewire all FileUpload are TemporaryFileUploads until the form is saved. Saving the form is what persists the file upload and moves it from temp storage to storage.
