I have this code to save an image in the storage/app/uploads folder
$image_main = Image::where('property_id', $id)->get();
$file = $request->file('file');
$destinationPath = 'uploads';
$i = 0;
foreach ($file as $file1) {
$i++;
$extension = $file1->getClientOriginalExtension();
$path = $file1->storeAs(
$destinationPath, $i.time().".".$extension
);
This is my blade file
@foreach ($image_main as $images)
<img src="{{"/storage/app/".$images->filename}}
The file saves in the storage/app/uploads folder but it doesn't show to the user, it says file not found. am I to set anything in the filesystems.php file
Laravel storage filesystem is so unique. Any file upload will be stored in the storage/app/public
directory. To make it accessible in public
directory, things you need to do is to the create symlink by running the command:
php artisan storage:link
This command will symlinked storage/app/public
to public/storage
Just follow the documentation about how to upload and how to retrieve the file url. I am pretty sure the step you are missing is creating the symlink.
Hope it helps.
