laravel livewire uploaded file create object from path and save to s3 - laravel

Question

I'm uploading a file to a file upload component, and then passing the temporary file path to the parent component with an event. In the parent component I need to save the file to s3.
I need to pass the path or a file object or something back to the parent component, and then save it, but I can't seem to get it to work.
I've tried sending over a File object, as well as an UploadedFile object, my latest iteration is to try with a File object, and I'm getting the following error:
Unresolvable dependency resolving [Parameter #0 [ <required> string $path ]] in class Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\File\File
So in my child component I have this code:
public function updatedFile()
{
$fileObj = new File($this->file->path());
$this->emitUp('fileUploaded', $fileObj);
}
In my parent component I'm listening for the fileUploaded event, which calls the save method:
public function save(File $uploadedFile)
{
if ($path = Storage::putFileAs(env('APP_ENV') . '/statements', $uploadedFile->name, 's3')) {
$this->statement = new Statement([
'location_id' => $this->location->id,
'file_name' => $uploadedFile->name,
'path' => $path,
'uploaded_by' => Auth::user()->id,
]);
$this->statement->save();
}
}
I've also tried using $uploadedFile->storeAs() and I get the same result. It seems like the $uploadedFile object is not the right type. I don't know if I need a Storage object or what and I can't seem to find a good answer in the docs.
The path I have available after uploading the file in my livewire component is the temporary file name that livewire saves the file as in local storage. I also need the original file name as well, like what was uploaded as I'm saving that to the database.
If I remove the type hint on the save() method I get Attempt to read property "name" on array. Why is $uploadedFile an array and not an object? I guess if I remove the type hint it just gets sent over as an array. I dunno..

Here's the solution I came up with:
child component:
public function updatedFile()
{
$this->validate([
'file' => 'required|max:12288'
]);
$this->emitUp('fileUploaded', [$this->file->path(), $this->file->getClientOriginalName()]);
}
parent component:
public function save($uploadedFile)
{
if ($path = Storage::disk('s3')->put(env('APP_ENV') . '/statements/' . $uploadedFile[1], file_get_contents($uploadedFile[0]))) {
$this->statement = new Statement([
'location_id' => $this->location->id,
'file_name' => $uploadedFile[1],
'path' => $path,
'uploaded_by' => Auth::user()->id,
]);
$this->statement->save();
}
}
