Storing and removing files

When using Doctrine + UploadableInterface

If you are using Doctrine ORM, and you entity implements Netinfluence\UploadBundle\Model\UploadableInterface, a listener provided by this bundle will automatically takes care of all of uploading the file to the final filesystem and of removing it from the sandbox filesystem on success.

In the same fashion, file removal is automatic after entity removal.

Manually

If you don't use Doctrine ORM, but want to save Netinfluence\UploadBundle\Model\UploadableInterface file, call the netinfluence_upload.file_manager service:

<?php

namespace Netinfluence\DemoBundle\Controller;

use Netinfluence\UploadBundle\Form\Type\ImageType;

// ...
class MyController extends Controller
{
    public function formAction(Request $request)
    {
        // ...

        $form = $this->createFormBuilder()
            ->add('photo', ImageType::class, array(
                'data_class' => 'Netinfluence\DemoBundle\Entity\MyFile'
            ))
            ->getForm()
        ;
        
         if ($form->handleRequest($request) && $form->isValid()) {
            $file = $form->getData()['photo'];
            
            // FileManager will remove temporary file from sandbox,
            // and save it to the final one
            $this->get('netinfluence_upload.file_manager')->save($file);
            
            // And if you want to remove:
            $this->get('netinfluence_upload.file_manager')->remove($file);
            
         }
        
        // ...
    }
}
