file aren't saved anymore, vichuploader - php

Question

I'm actually creating an api. I'm using vichuploaderBundler to import file and to put them in a specific directory. Since i use my form to send a POST request to create a resource, my ressource get created but the files aren't saved anymore. Here is my current code.
postController
/**
* #Rest\View(statusCode=Response::HTTP_CREATED)
* #Rest\Post("/posts")
*/
public function postPostsAction(Request $request)
{
$post = new Post();
$form = $this->createForm(PostType::class, $post);
$form->submit($request->request->all()); // Validation des données
if ($form->isValid()) {
$post->setUpdatedAt(new \DateTime());
$em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
$em->persist($post);
$em->flush();
return $post;
} else {
return $form;
}
}
PostType
class PostType extends AbstractType
{
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function buildForm(FormBuilderInterface $builder, array $options)
{
$builder->add('title');
$builder->add('description');
$builder->add('imageName');
$builder->add('imageFile', FileType::class);
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function configureOptions(OptionsResolver $resolver)
{
$resolver->setDefaults(array(
'data_class' => 'AppBundle\Entity\Post',
//An API must be stateless, Cross-Site Request Forgery must be disable
'csrf_protection' => false,
));
}
/**
* {#inheritdoc}
*/
public function getBlockPrefix()
{
return 'appbundle_post';
}
}
The post entity :
<?php
namespace AppBundle\Entity;
use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

use JMS\Serializer\Annotation\ExclusionPolicy;

use Vich\UploaderBundle\Mapping\Annotation as Vich;
/**

* #Vich\Uploadable
*/
class Post
{
/**

* #ORM\Column(name="id", type="integer")

* #ORM\GeneratedValue(strategy="AUTO")

*/
private $id;
/**

private $imageName;
/**

private $updatedAt;
/**
* NOTE: This is not a mapped field of entity metadata, just a simple property.
*
* #Vich\UploadableField(mapping="product_image", fileNameProperty="imageName")
* #var File
*/
private $imageFile;
/**
* If manually uploading a file (i.e. not using Symfony Form) ensure an instance
* of 'UploadedFile' is injected into this setter to trigger the update. If this
* bundle's configuration parameter 'inject_on_load' is set to 'true' this setter
* must be able to accept an instance of 'File' as the bundle will inject one here
* during Doctrine hydration.
*
* #param File|\Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\UploadedFile $image
* #Expose
* #return Post
*/
public function setImageFile(File $image = null)
{
$this->imageFile = $image;
if ($image) {
// It is required that at least one field changes if you are using doctrine
// otherwise the event listeners won't be called and the file is lost
$this->updatedAt = new \DateTimeImmutable();
}
return $this;
}
/**
* #return File|null
*/
public function getImageFile()
{
return $this->imageFile;
}
/**
* Set imageName
*
* #param string $imageName
*
* #return Post
*/
public function setImageName($imageName)
{
$this->imageName = $imageName;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get imageName
*
* #return string
*/
public function getImageName()
{
return $this->imageName;
}
/**
* Get id
*
* #return int
*/
public function getId()
{
return $this->id;
}
/**
* Set title
*
* #param string $title
*
* #return Post
*/
public function setTitle($title)
{
$this->title = $title;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get title
*
* #return string
*/
public function getTitle()
{
return $this->title;
}
/**
* #return \DateTime
*/
public function getUpdatedAt()
{
return $this->updatedAt;
}
/**
* #param \DateTime $updatedAt
*/
public function setUpdatedAt($updatedAt)
{
$this->updatedAt = $updatedAt;
}
/**
* Set description
*
* #param string $description
*
* #return Post
*/
public function setDescription($description)
{
$this->description = $description;
return $this;
}
/**
* Get description
*
* #return string
*/
public function getDescription()
{
return $this->description;
}
}
EDIT :
Here is my vichuploader configuration, in config.yml
#vich uploader Configuration
vich_uploader:
db_driver: orm
mappings:
product_image:
uri_prefix: /images/posts
upload_destination: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/images/posts'
namer: vich_uploader.namer_uniqid
inject_on_load: false
delete_on_update: true
delete_on_remove: true
Before using my form i was uploading on that way :
public function postPostsAction(Request $request)
{
$post = new Post();
$post->setTitle($request->get('title'))
->setDescription($request->get('description'))
->setImageName($request->get('image_name'))
->setImageFile($request->files->get('imageFile'))
// It is required that at least one field changes if you are using doctrine
// otherwise the event listeners won't be called and the file is lost
->setUpdatedAt(new \DateTime());
// On fait appel à doctrine pour seter un id lors de la création en base
$em = $this->get('doctrine.orm.entity_manager');
$em->persist($post);
$em->flush();
return $post;
}
Thanks for helping !
