symfony upload file without saving it on the server

I'm using symfony and I try to import csv file to just get it content. First I added the field importFile to my Entity(ps: the field should not be stored in DB):

  /** @var  UploadedFile  $importFile*/
private $importFile;

/**
 * @return UploadedFile
 */
public function getImportFile()
{
    return $this->importFile;
}

/**
 * @param UploadedFile $importFile
 */
public function setImportFile(UploadedFile $importFile = null)
{
    $this->importFile = $importFile;
}

then I added the field to my formType:

   ->add('importFile',FileType::class, array('label' => false,'attr'=>['id'=>'upload','style'=>'']))

and in my view I aded the form field: {{ form_row(form.importFile) }}

--edit

I get the upload file on my view, but when I submit the form with ajax: -- edit2

var form = $("[id^=" + "form" + "]");
$.ajax({
        url: url,
        type: 'POST',

        data: new FormData(form),
        contentType: false,
        cache: false,
        processData:false,
        success: function (data, status)
        {
          alert('rr');
        },
        error: function (xhr, desc, err)
        {


        }
    });

I don't get the imported file on my request:

dump($request->files->all());

it returns empty .

What should I do to read the file ?

Symfony 4 has a out of the box solution for this. Try using FormData to upload files.

File inputs are not serialized by jQuery's .serialize() method. If you need to send file data to the server via AJAX, you have to resort to other methods.

A couple options are:

  1. Using FormData if your target audience's browsers support the File API.
  2. Using a jQuery plugin like jquery-form which can handle file uploads.
