components: {
vueDropzone: vueDropzone,
},
methods: {
processQueue() {
this.$refs.dropzoneJs.processQueue();
},
sendingEvent(file, xhr, formData) {
formData.append("title", this.form.title);
formData.append("description", this.form.Description);
},
},
};
</script>
<style scoped>
#upload {
margin-top: 5px;
}
.upload-form {
margin-top: 75px;
}
</style>
Form get's send to laravel backend controller via this route
Route::post('/album', [AlbumController::class, 'store'])->name('album.post');
Method inside of controller just dumps the request variable
public function store(Request $request)
{
dd($request);
}
The upload hits the POST endpoint and prints out the $request variable, but no title, description or image are inside.

Answer 1

After some trial and error I have found a solution
1: I removed the form tag
2: I used v-model instead of v-bind
3: changed the URL inside of my options object to api/album
these changes seem to have fixed my issue and dd($request) now prints the title / description and the file
