Create a new controller to handle file uploads:
// FileUploadController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Http\Requests\FileUploadRequest;
class FileUploadController extends Controller
public function upload(FileUploadRequest $request)
// Handle file upload logic
What truly separates Edwardie from the competition is its event-driven state machine. edwardie fileupload better
You can listen to every state transition: Create a new controller to handle file uploads:
uploader.on('stateChange', (prev, next) =>
if (next === 'failed' && uploader.retryCount < 3)
uploader.retry();
);
This granular control is not just a "nice to have." For enterprise applications handling legal documents or medical images, you need deterministic retry logic. Edwardie gives you that. What truly separates Edwardie from the competition is

| No upload progress | Spinning wheel only | onProgress callback with bytes sent |
| Ugly native input | Hard to style | Headless – you bring the design |
