Image upload in the Front-End

Hello, I’ve been tryin to figure out why my image file upload isn’t working and its been taking me forever. Maybe one of you guys will be able to help me. When I upload images from the backend everything’s fine.

Form snippet:

<form class="form" data-request="onCreateAuction" data-request-update="'auction/form': '#auction-create'" enctype="multipart/form-data">
....
    <div class="form-group">
        <label for="images">Upload Item Image</label>
        <input type="file" class="form-control-file {% if errors.getBag('auction').has('images') %}is-invalid{% endif %}" id="images" name="images">
        {% if errors.getBag('auction').has('images') %}
        <div class="invalid-feedback d-block">{{errors.getBag('auction').first('images')}}</div>
        {% endif %}
    </div>
...
</form>

In my Model I have:

    public $attachMany = [
        'images' => \System\Models\File::class
    ];

In my component function onCreateAuction() after all validation this is how i try to save images:

try {
            $data = \Input::post();
            $auction = new Auction; 

            $auction->name = $data['name'];
            .......
    
            $images = \Input::file('images');
            if ($images) {
                $auction->images()->create(['data' => $images]);
            }

            $auction->save();

            return \Redirect::to('/');
        } catch (\Exception $ex) {
            $this->page['errors']->getBag('auction')->add("general", $ex->getMessage());
            $this->page['data'] = \Input::post();
        }

I never get any errors. Everytime I create a new Auction with an image uploaded it is successful, but the image never gets uploaded since I don’t see it being displayed nor in the back-end nor in the front.

Thank you.
