FilepondController ​

File: src/Http/Controllers/FilepondController.php
Namespace: Unusualify\Modularous\Http\Controllers
Extends: App\Http\Controllers\Controller

Handles the temporary file lifecycle for FilePond uploads. Files are held in a temporary location and either promoted to the media/file library on form submission or reverted (deleted) when the user cancels.

Constructor ​

php
public function __construct(FilepondManager $manager)

Methods ​

upload(Request $request): Response ​

Accepts a FilePond upload, stores the file in the configured temporary directory, and returns the temporary server ID string. The ID is what FilePond sends back to the server on form submission.

revert(Request $request): Response ​

Deletes a previously uploaded temporary file. Called by FilePond when the user removes a file before submitting the form.

preview(Request $request, string $folder): Response ​

Streams a temporary file for preview. The $folder parameter scopes the lookup to a specific upload folder, preventing path traversal.

Temporary File Flow ​

User picks file
  └─ FilePond POSTs to /filepond/upload
       └─ FilepondController::upload() saves to tmp/, returns server ID
            └─ User submits form
                 ├─ Server resolves ID → permanent storage
                 └─ OR user cancels → FilePond DELETEs via revert()
