# $file
- File Fields
The $file
keyword allows us to attach a file to an instance field. This can be useful for associating any piece of data - such as a PDF or Word document, an image in the JPEG or PNG formats, a MP3 audio file or even a video - to that given instance.
# Usage:
$file
# Examples:
In the example displayed in the images below, we will add a field that will allow to upload a file
