Intervention Image with Laravel and FilePond

Hi All,

I am trying to upload image with filepond (it works), but i want to resize my images before uploading.

This works without FilePond

$file = Image::make($request->file('image'))
    ->fit(700, 467, function ($constraint) {
        $constraint->aspectRatio();
    });

But the same fails in conjunction with FilePond

Here is my UploadController:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Models\TemporaryFile;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Intervention\Image\Facades\Image;

class UploadController extends Controller
{
    public function upload(Request $request)
    {
        if ($request->hasFile('image')) {

//            $file = Image::make($request->file('image'))
//                ->fit(700, 467, function ($constraint) {
//                    $constraint->aspectRatio();
//                })
//                ->encode('jpg');

            $file = $request->file('image');

            // Rename file with *.jpg extension
            $filename = time() . '.jpg';

            // Create unique folder
            $folder = uniqid() . '-' . time();

            // Save the file to unique tmp folder with new filename
            $file->storeAs('/public/images/tmp/' . $folder, $filename);

            // Store the folder and filename to database
            TemporaryFile::create([
                'folder' => $folder,
                'filename' => $filename,
            ]);

            // Return the tmp folder name
            return $folder;
        }
        return '';
    }
}

The code works except it doesn't resize the image.
