How to get file upload without a form

May 26, 2023 by Tarik

The Request has a FileBag, similar to the ParameterBag

So I could get the file specified easily with:

$data = $this->getRequest()->request->all();
$file = $this->getRequest()->files->get('file');

and use the document as is from the cookbook:

$document = new Document();
$document->setFile($file);
$lead->setDocument($document);
