Laravel 5.4 $request->file() returns null

Question

I'm trying to save multiple files, but the Request file() method is returning null. Help-me please

My front end:

        <input type="file" name="arquivos" multiple />

External JS:

...
var form = document.forms['frmDados'];
...

In one function:

...
        var formData = new FormData();

        var ins = form.elements['arquivos'].files.length;
        for (var x = 0; x < ins; x++) {
            formData.append('arquivos[]', form.elements['arquivos'].files[x]);
        }

        // https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35192841/fetch-post-with-multipart-form-data
        await fetch(window.location.href, {
            method: method, // POST or PUT
            body: formData,
            headers: {
                'X-CSRF-Token': form.elements['_token'].value
            },
        }).then((response) => {
...

My backend:

        $arquivos = $request->file('arquivos'); // Illuminate\Http\Request
        Log::info($arquivos);
        Log::info($request->all());

My laravel.log: (I uploaded 2 files, but only shows 1 in the all() method)

[2020-04-07 14:40:11] local.INFO:   
[2020-04-07 14:40:11] local.INFO: array (
  'otheratribute' => '3',
  'otheratribute2' => '1',
  'otheratribute3' => '2020-03-03',
  'otheratribute4' => '03:00',
  'otheratribute5' => 'Tetandos',
  'otheratribute6' => '1',
  'otheratribute7' => '2020-04-01',
  'arquivos[]' => 
  Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile::__set_state(array(
     'test' => false,
     'originalName' => 'jgcjkpmefepjgcpg.png',
     'mimeType' => 'image/png',
     'size' => 392328,
     'error' => 0,
     'hashName' => NULL,
  )),
)

What I intend to do:

         try {
             $infracao->upload($arquivos, true);
         } catch (\Exception $e) {
             return response($e->getMessage(), 503);
         }

I forgot to specify, this solution worked for POST Request, but not for PUT Request which is my problem, which is this and my beginning of solution is this.

I'm using the solution as middleware, and the result for the request is what I put in the question.

Does `foreach ($arquivos as $arquivo) {Log::info($arquivo);}` help? — Tpojka, Apr 07 '20 at 18:25
it didn't work, even adding [] everywhere where there are `$arquivos` the only thing I got was `[2020-04-07 17:05:40] local.INFO: /tmp/sfyTLOnk0` to `Log::info($request->file('arquivos[]'));` — JhowRaul, Apr 07 '20 at 20:10

I think you just need to do

$request->arquivos

instead of

$request->file('arquivos')

And probably you could also do

$request->input('arquivos')

I would like to emphasize that for the other attributes this works, less for the files – JhowRaul Apr 07 '20 at 20:35
