I am using a medium editor image insert plugin, which has a dependency of bluimp image upload.
For the server side, I am trying to get the image before uploading it.
You can manipulate file with appropriate methods only:
$file = $request->file('photo'); $request->file('photo')->move($destinationPath, $fileName);

Also, you can use additional methods.
