About this package
------------------

[](#about-this-package)

This middleware solves the issue of unrelated form validation errors redirecting the user back and loosing the files that had been uploaded. It does this by temporarily caching server-side the file fields that have passed validation so that they may be processed once the whole form has been submitted passing validation.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Add to your project with composer via `composer require photogabble/laravel-remember-uploads`.

### Laravel Version >= 5.5

[](#laravel-version--55)

This library supports [package auto-discovery](https://medium.com/@taylorotwell/package-auto-discovery-in-laravel-5-5-ea9e3ab20518) in Laravel >= 5.5.

### Laravel Versions 5.2 - 5.5

[](#laravel-versions-52---55)

To enable the package you will need to add its service provider to your app providers configuration in Laravel.

```
'providers' => [
    // ...

    Photogabble\LaravelRememberUploads\RememberUploadsServiceProvider::class,

    // ...
],
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You need to assign the middleware `remember.files` to routes that process uploaded files; in the case of CRUD terminology that would be the *create* and *update* methods.

So that the middleware is aware of remembered files from the previous request you need to include a reference by way of using a hidden input field with the name `_rememberedFiles`.

```
@if( $oldFile = rememberedFile('file'))

@else

@endif
```

Then within your controller code you can obtain the file via the `rememberedFile` helper:

```
function store(Illuminate\Http\Request $request) {
    if ($file = $request->file('img', rememberedFile('img')) {
        // ... File exists ...
    }
}
```

The `$file` variable will equal an instance of `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile` if the file has been posted during the current request or remembered.

This example is viewable as a test case [within this libaries tests](https://github.com/photogabble/laravel-remember-uploads/blob/master/tests/UploadTest.php#L192).

### Array File Fields

[](#array-file-fields)

In the case where you have multiple upload fields sharing the same name for example `image[0]`, `image[1]`; the helper `rememberedFile('image')` will return an array of `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile`.

The reference `_rememberedFiles` will also need to match the array syntax of the file inputs it mirrors:

```
@if( $oldFile = rememberedFile('image'))

@else

@endif
```
