->fill() does not work with SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload

I am trying to implement a form where users can come back and edit their answers or upload new files but whatever I try to fill the

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload

with the data fails. If I provide

uuid

uuid

path

path

url

url

it doesn't give any error but also doesn't populate the field. If I were to give

UploadedFile

UploadedFile

Media

Media

MediaCollection

MediaCollection

it gives an error with

Filament\Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::{closure:Filament\Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::setUp():90}(): Argument #2 ($file) must be of type string, array given

Filament\Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::{closure:Filament\Forms\Components\SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::setUp():90}(): Argument #2 ($file) must be of type string, array given

this error originates from closure used in

$this->getUploadedFileUsing

$this->getUploadedFileUsing

when the function

setUp

setUp

has been called. It's driving me insane.
I have also tried to just use relationship but still the same problem!

How can I fill the field with previous data from the database?

I saw something like using

unsplash

unsplash

in the field to set the state but still didn't worked in my case.

Solution

For any one having similar problems here is the solution
1. Define your model in the

mount()

mount()

function
2. Because lazy loading is disabled for

Media

Media

model, add

->load('media')

->load('media')

to the model you are fetching
3. Explicitly define

->model($this->yourModel)

->model($this->yourModel)

in the

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload

SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload

4. Fill the field using the

uuid

uuid

of the media you're trying to use

Here is the example

public function mount(Request $request, int $id): void
{
$this->participant = Participant::findOrFail($id)->load('media');

$this->form->fill([
...
'image' => $this->participant->getFirstMedia('some.collection')?->uuid
...
]);
}

...
// In your form use
SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('image')->model($this->participant);

public function mount(Request $request, int $id): void
{
$this->participant = Participant::findOrFail($id)->load('media');

$this->form->fill([
...
'image' => $this->participant->getFirstMedia('some.collection')?->uuid
...
]);
}

...
// In your form use
SpatieMediaLibraryFileUpload::make('image')->model($this->participant);

And you should be good to go.
I hope it will be helpful
