Size not available

[kurtomerfaruk]

When I want to use FilePoster I get size unavailable. Is there something I missed with my codes as below?

`
FilePond.registerPlugin(
FilePondPluginFilePoster,
FilePondPluginImagePreview
);

FilePond.create(document.querySelector('input[name="cover"]'));
FilePond.setOptions({
    server: {
        url: "{{ config('filepond.server.url') }}",
        headers: {
            'X-CSRF-TOKEN': "{{ @csrf_token() }}",
        },
    },
    files: [
        {
            source: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/covers/project-cover-639cf605b3251.png",
            options: {
                type: 'local',
                metadata: {
                    poster: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/storage/covers/project-cover-639cf605b3251.png",
                },
            }
        }
    ]
});

I am getting error Argument 1 passed to RahulHaque\Filepond\Services\FilepondService::offset() must be of the type string

How should I go about this?
Thanks

@kurtomerfaruk where do you get the size unavailable? In the frontend or backend? You're passing file location in the source key which doesn't align with the documentation here. I would like to know why are you using this plugin for? There are many use cases. The last error happens when filepond fails to successfully talk to the server. Check your console if the xhr calls to backend is successful and you're getting a response.

@rahulhaque I am getting the error on both sides. On the front end, I get the error that size cannot be used, and on the backend, I get the error Argument 1 passed to RahulHaque\Filepond\Services\FilepondService::offset() must be of the type string.

Also when I check the backend, FilepondController return Response::make('Ok', 200)->withHeaders(['upload-offset' => $service->offset($request->patch)]); I see that the $request->patch field is null. what could be the reason for this

[rahulhaque]

@kurtomerfaruk thank you. You answered my first question. All the errors you've mentioned are related to filepond js not being able to successfully posting the files to the backend. When you drop a file in filepond js, it must communicate with the server first to get the server key. That's why I asked you inspect the request console. $request->patch comes to account when you're using chunk upload. Your example doesn't include that. If you want to load a file already uploaded, then you'll have to write your own endpoints. That's why ask you what purpose you're using fileposter plugin for. Please give some information about the rest.

Can you give an example?

[rahulhaque]

@kurtomerfaruk I am sorry can you be a bit specific? Is the example in the documentation not working? Is it not working without the plugin you’re trying to use?

Anyway, since the problem is not solved, I will try to solve my problem with another plugin.
