Handling File Upload

This package doesn't come with file upload feature (yet) Instead you can use laravel-medialibrary by Spatie, to handle file functionality.

The steps are pretty straight forward, all what you need to do is the following.

Extends the Ticket model, by creating a new model file in your application by

php artisan make:model Ticket 

Then extend the base Ticket Model, then use InteractWithMedia trait by spatie package, and the interface HasMedia:

namespaceApp\Models\Ticket; useSpatie\MediaLibrary\HasMedia; useSpatie\MediaLibrary\InteractsWithMedia; class Ticket extends \Coderflex\LaravelTicket\Models\Ticket implements HasMedia { use InteractsWithMedia; }

The rest of the implementation, head to the docs of spatie package to know more.
