Changing FileUpload field state() does not refresh the field/FilePond on front-end about filament

Filepond needs a path to the permanent storage. TemporaryUploadeFile objects are only supported when Filepond initiates that upload process originally. I would store it permanently if I were you, and introduce a cleanup process for unused files.

Maybe there should be a way to pass an absolute path to a method which programatically uploads the file?

Or maybe its not possible?

When the file is uploaded from browser, FilePond shows the preview from browser by adding it to its canvas. But when the file is uploaded from backend, filepond cannot show the preview unless its a public file or unless it gets temporary url for the private file (if the temp url support for local disk is added on user land)

Thanks for the response. Actually I am building this for plugin idea, So i am trying to keep less code on user land.

If thats the way to do it: Suppose, if the file was stored to posts/featured_img/ and if the form was never submitted, How would it know if there are files that need to be cleaned up.

You would not have any records in the database that reference the file
