How to specify upload path on file repeatable

[cod3rshotout]

I have created a repeater field in Laravel Backpack as follows: php Copia Modifica

CRUD::addField([
    'name' => 'trend_notes',
    'type' => 'repeatable',
    'label' => __('backend/process-area.trend_notes'),
    'tab' => __('backend/process-area.tabs.trend'),
    'fields' => [
        [
            'name' => 'date',
            'type' => 'date',
            'label' => __('backend/process-area.date'),
            'wrapper' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-3'],
            'attributes' => [
                'required' => 'required'
            ]
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'type',
            'label'  => __('backend/process-area.type'),
            'type' => 'select_from_array',
            'wrapper' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-9'],
            'options' => [
                'progress' => __('backend/process-area.progress'),
                'statistic' => __('backend/process-area.statistic'),
                'anomaly' => __('backend/process-area.anomaly'),
            ]
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'note',
            'type' => 'ckeditor',
            'label' =>  __('backend/process-area.note'),
        ],
        [
            'name' => 'files',
            'label'  => __('backend/process-area.attachments'),
            'type'  => 'upload_multiple',
            'upload' => true,
            'wrapper' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-12'],
            'disk' => 'uploads'
        ],
    ],
    'allows_null' => false,
    'default' => 'progress'
]);

I am trying to save the uploaded files to the following path: uploads/documents/process_2/notes, where 2 is the reference ID of the entity. How can I correctly handle file uploads within the repeater field and ensure they are stored in the correct path?

This is the filesystem config:

'uploads' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root'   => public_path('uploads'),
    'url'    => env('APP_URL') . '/uploads',
    'visibility' => 'public',
],

To specify the upload path for files within a repeatable field in Laravel Backpack, you need to make some adjustments to your field definition and handle the file upload in your model. Here's how you can modify your code to achieve this:

1. Update your field definition:

CRUD::addField([
    // ... other field properties ...
    'fields' => [
        // ... other subfields ...
        [
            'name' => 'files',
            'label'  => __('backend/process-area.attachments'),
            'type'  => 'upload_multiple',
            'upload' => true,
            'wrapper' => ['class' => 'form-group col-md-12'],
            'disk' => 'uploads',
            'path' => 'documents/process_2/notes', // Specify the path here
        ],
    ],
    // ... other field properties ...
]);

2. In your model, you need to handle the file upload. Add a mutator method for the files attribute:

public function setFilesAttribute($value)
{
    $attribute_name = "files";
    $disk = "uploads";
    $destination_path = "documents/process_{$this->id}/notes";

    $this->uploadMultipleFilesToDisk($value, $attribute_name, $disk, $destination_path);
}

This approach is based on the information provided in the Github Issue: Can't upload file on disk and Github Issue: [Bug] Upload subfield contains wrong url in repeteable relationship field.

Note that you'll need to replace {$this->id} with the actual reference ID of your entity. If the ID is not available at the time of upload (e.g., when creating a new entry), you might need to adjust your logic to handle this case.

Also, make sure that the uploads disk is correctly configured in your config/filesystems.php file, which you've already done based on the configuration you provided.

Remember that the uploadMultipleFilesToDisk method is a helper method provided by Backpack to handle multiple file uploads. It will take care of moving the uploaded files to the specified path on the given disk.

If you encounter any issues with the file URLs after implementing this, you might need to adjust the URL generation in your views or use Laravel's Storage::url() helper to generate the correct URLs for the uploaded files.

Hey @cod3rshotout

Generally, You can configure the disk & folder path in uploaders like this:

[
   'name' => 'files',
   'type'  => 'upload_multiple',
    'withFiles' => [
        'disk' => 'public', // the disk where file will be stored
        'path' => 'uploads', // the path inside the disk where the file will be stored
   ]
],

And for Naming files when using Uploaders, you can:

CRUD::field('avatar')->type('upload')->withFiles([
        'fileNamer' => \Backpack\CRUD\app\Library\Uploaders\Support\FileNameGenerator::class,
]);

// alternativelly you can pass a closure:
->withFiles([
    'fileNamer' => function($file, $uploader) { return 'the_file_name.png'; },
])

But your path uploads/documents/process_2/notes has an ID appended to it, which is generated after saving.
You have to move the file on eloquent's saved event and update the record Quietly.
