I see the code, but I have no idea what your question is?

Check the docs - you can either check the error code returned (4 = empty)

or you can use

$attachment = $this->request->getUploadedFile('attachment');

Which returns either the file data, or null if no file was chosen.

Then you can check

if ( ! empty($attachment) ) { // do the upload
