    You can get the contents of the file uploaded using file_get_contents() method. Example:

    file_get_contents($request->file);

    From Laravel documentation:

    You may retrieve uploaded files from an IlluminateHttpRequest
    instance using the file method or using dynamic properties. The file
    method returns an instance of the IlluminateHttpUploadedFile class,
    which extends the PHP SplFileInfo class and provides a variety of
    methods for interacting with the file.

    public function loadData(Request $req)
{
    $content = $req->file('file')->get();
}
