To get files using Laravel, you can use the following steps:
- Use the request() helper function to get the file input from the request. For example, to get a file input with the name 'file', you can use request()->file('file').
- Use the store() method on the UploadedFile object returned by the file() method to store the file in a location on the server. For example, you can use request()->file('file')->store('images') to store the file in the 'images' directory.
- You can also specify the disk where you want to store the file by passing the disk name as the second argument to the store() method. For example, request()->file('file')->store('images', 'public') will store the file in the 'images' directory on the 'public' disk.
- After storing the file, you can get the path to the stored file by calling the store() method with only the directory name. For example, request()->file('file')->store('images') will return the path to the stored file.
- You can then use the path to the stored file to display or manipulate the file in your application.
Overall, Laravel provides a simple and convenient way to get and work with files in your application.
