Image Postprocessing

Folks, how do I get the path of an uploaded image? (I want to edit this image by sending it to an API, then replace it)

FileUpload::make('image')
  ->afterStateUpdated(function ($state) {
     $path = $state->getPath();
     log('state', [$path]);
  })

FileUpload::make('image')
  ->afterStateUpdated(function ($state) {
     $path = $state->getPath();
     log('state', [$path]);
  })

This just returns storage/app/livewire-tmp, and not the actual path of the uploaded image

Thanks in advance!

Also, would it be better to do this after the form is submit, then replace it? I'm not sure..

Hi, your file has not yet been uploaded, it is in the temporary files. It's up to you to determine the path in which you want to store it. You can, however, retrieve the file name.

Thank you @Alex'R. How can I send it to an API after it has been submit/upload, to fix it? Is that the correct event?

depends of your storage configuration

explore your storage folder and you get the path with storage_path() method

if you want the file is public, you should use public as FILESYSTEM_DISK in your .env and use php artisan storage:link, instead you can use publicly
