How do I get the uploaded image?

[keatwei]

my function looks like this, but seems could not get the image
public function store(Request $request)
{
$files = [];

    $file = $request->file('file');
    $uploaded = [];

    //process image
    return response()->json($uploaded);

}

My Script

<script> ClassicEditor.create( document.querySelector( '#inputContent' ), { simpleUpload: { uploadUrl: '{{ route('api.photos.store') }}' } }) .then( editor => { window.editor = editor; }) .catch( err => { console.error( err.stack ); }); </script>

[pourquoi]

the name of the file sent is "upload" not "file"
