How to safely override Filament core components methods?

Hi everyone! I’ve made a couple of small modifications directly to Filament’s core BaseFileUpload class (in vendor/filament/filament/src/Forms/Components/BaseFileUpload.php), specifically in two methods, removeUploadedFile(string $fileKey) and reorderUploadedFiles(array $fileKeys), adding this line: $this->callAfterStateUpdated(); I added this call to callAfterStateUpdated() so that my additional logic inside every FileUpload->afterStateUpdated() can run. The problem is that these changes will be lost if I update or reinstall my Composer dependencies. So, what’s the recommended way to override or hook into these methods without directly modifying Filament core files? Thank you in advance!
Solution:
Hello You can Create a new class that extends BaseFileUpload and override the methods up there ... ``` class CustomFileUpload extends BaseFileUpload...

class CustomFileUpload extends BaseFileUpload
{
    protected function removeUploadedFile(string $fileKey): void
    {
        .....
    }
class CustomFileUpload extends BaseFileUpload
{
    protected function removeUploadedFile(string $fileKey): void
    {
        .....
    }
Then use it

Yup, I did it this way and it works: 
<?php

namespace App\Filament\Forms\Components;

use Filament\Forms\Components\FileUpload as FilamentFileUpload;
use Livewire\Features\SupportFileUploads\TemporaryUploadedFile;

class FileUpload extends FilamentFileUpload 
{
    public function removeUploadedFile(string $fileKey): string | TemporaryUploadedFile | null
    {
        $result = parent::removeUploadedFile($fileKey);
        $this->callAfterStateUpdated();
        return $result;
    }
    
    public function reorderUploadedFiles(array $fileKeys): void
    {
        parent::reorderUploadedFiles($fileKeys);
        $this->callAfterStateUpdated(); 
    }
}
<?php

namespace App\Filament\Forms\Components;

use Filament\Forms\Components\FileUpload as FilamentFileUpload;
use Livewire\Features\SupportFileUploads\TemporaryUploadedFile;

class FileUpload extends FilamentFileUpload 
{
    public function removeUploadedFile(string $fileKey): string | TemporaryUploadedFile | null
    {
        $result = parent::removeUploadedFile($fileKey);
        $this->callAfterStateUpdated();
        return $result;
    }
    
    public function reorderUploadedFiles(array $fileKeys): void
    {
        parent::reorderUploadedFiles($fileKeys);
        $this->callAfterStateUpdated(); 
    }
}
Thanks!
