How to get file upload without a form

Question

my controller receives post data. It\'s not from a Symfony generated form, but from an AngularJS custom form using FormData.

The normal parameters are r

Answer 1

The Request has a FileBag, similar to the ParameterBag

So I could get the file specified easily with:

$data = $this->getRequest()->request->all();
$file = $this->getRequest()->files->get('file');

and use the document as is from the cookbook:

$document = new Document();
$document->setFile($file);
$lead->setDocument($document);
