How to get image from resources in Laravel?

Question

I upload all user files to directory:

/resources/app/uploads/

I try to get image by full path:

http://localhost/resources/app/u         


        

Answer 1

You can make a route specifically for displaying images.

For example:

Route::get('/resources/app/uploads/{filename}', function($filename){
    $path = resource_path() . '/app/uploads/' . $filename;

    if(!File::exists($path)) {
        return response()->json(['message' => 'Image not found.'], 404);
    }

    $file = File::get($path);
    $type = File::mimeType($path);

    $response = Response::make($file, 200);
    $response->header("Content-Type", $type);

    return $response;
});

So now you can go to localhost/resources/app/uploads/filename.png and it should display the image.

Answer 2

You may try this on your blade file. The images folder is located at the public folder

<img src="{{URL::asset('/images/image_name.png')}}" />

For later versions of Laravel (5.7 above):

<img src = "{{ asset('/images/image_name.png') }}" />

Answer 3

Try {{asset('path/to/your/image.jpg')}} if you want to call it from your blade

or

$url = asset('path/to/your/image.jpg'); if you want it in your controller.

Hope it helps =)
