URL File Uploads does not get saved to database about laraform HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Vincent,

Thank you, I appreciate a lot and I'm glad you like it!

Could you please help me by sending the exact code (with any dependencies it might rely on: migrations, models, etc.) which produces this error?

from laraform.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I just whipped up a test form for this specific error with just two fields, so I could single out the problem. The form has been created using the backend rendering method.

App\Forms\TestForm.php

<?php

namespace App\Forms;

use Laraform;

class TestForm extends Laraform
{
    public $endpoint = '/laraform/process';

    public $model = \App\TestForm::class;

    public $schema = [
        'name' => [
            'type' => 'text',
            'label' => 'Name',
            'rules' => 'required'
        ],
        'photo' => [
            'type' => 'image',
            'label' => 'Photo',
            'rules' => 'nullable'
        ]
    ];

    public $buttons = [
        0 => [
            'label' => 'Submit',
            'class' => 'btn-primary'
        ]
    ];
}

App\TestForm.php

<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class TestForm extends Model
{
    protected $fillable = ['name', 'photo'];
}

The migration

    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('test_forms', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('name');
            $table->string('photo')->nullable();
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }

The frontend uses the default laraform component. Also files like filesystems.php are unchanged in this example. The error is still there, but like I wrote, the actual file is uploaded succesfully to the local disk. It just won't persist to the database.

Let me know if you'd need any more info!

from laraform.

Thank you for the detailed example! I've managed to look into it and realized that the documentation wasn't clear about that you must have an id element (or the equivalent primary key) when using files. This is because files are only processed after all the data is saved and they get updated, which makes possible custom store functions, etc.

So the only thing you need to do is to update your schema like:

App\Forms\TestForm.php

<?php

namespace App\Forms;

use Laraform;

class TestForm extends Laraform
{
    public $endpoint = '/laraform/process';

    public $model = \App\TestForm::class;

    public $schema = [
        'id' => [
            'type' => 'key',
        ],
        'name' => [
            'type' => 'text',
            'label' => 'Name',
            'rules' => 'required'
        ],
        'photo' => [
            'type' => 'image',
            'label' => 'Photo',
            'rules' => 'nullable'
        ]
    ];

    public $buttons = [
        0 => [
            'label' => 'Submit',
            'class' => 'btn-primary'
        ]
    ];
}

from laraform.

That does the trick, thanks a lot for your help!
