storeAs in a Repeater field

[Brand3000]

Hi! Tho storeAs feature doesn't work in Repeaters. Is it difficult to fix it? Very inconvenient.

Hi @Brand3000, thanks for reporting this. To help investigating, please post an example to illustrate the case and ease the reproduction 🙏

[Brand3000]

It's very easy to reproduce. Just try using the storeAs function on any image field in a repeatable class.

I am unfortunately not able to reproduce the issue. Setting up a Repeater with an item containing a file or image field, and using storeAs callback, behave as expected.

Please provide further information of the context leading to the issue you encounter so we may assist.

There's my field declaration:

Image::make('Image 1 (330 x 220)', 'image1')->storeAs(function (Request $request) {
                return pathinfo($request->image1->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_FILENAME).'_'.uniqid().'.'.pathinfo($request->image1->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
            })->disk('public_tour')->prunable()->hideFromIndex(),

and there's the error: App\Nova\Repeater\ScheduleItem::App\Nova\Repeater\{closure}(): Argument #1 ($request) must be of type App\Nova\Repeater\Request, Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\UpdateResourceRequest given. It works fine if I remove the storeAs method from the chain.

The same field with the same settings works perfect in the parent resource.

Thanks for the details 👍

It's missing the right import as per the exception indicates. You'd need importing \Illuminate\Http\Request or \Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest if you need something more specific (and adjust Request to NovaRequest accordingly) 🤔

Unfortunately, the NovaRequest class doesn't have the getClientOriginalName method as it's written in the docs. My code is:

use Laravel\Nova\Http\Requests\NovaRequest;

            Image::make('Image 1 (330 x 220)', 'image1')->storeAs(function (NovaRequest $request) {
                return pathinfo($request->image1->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_FILENAME).'_'.uniqid().'.'.pathinfo($request->image1->getClientOriginalName(), PATHINFO_EXTENSION);
            })->disk('public_tour')->prunable()->hideFromIndex(),

As you are in a repeater, your file is nested within the resource payload.

$request->file("{resource_key}.{repeater_iteration}.fields.image1")

With that said, I realized while looking into this that you'll be missing a way to know which file is the one (which repeater_iteration pretty much) for which the storeAs was called for, due to it being in a repeater. In other methods we inject a requestAttribute parameter which will tell you which one it is. I'll take note of that specific case and see for us to address 👍
