How can I access in views, images from storage folder in laravel

Question

I have some images stored in the following paths:

/storage/app/public/uploads/users/2/avatar/0d8c18a52732bc9b0068102338fbf29b.jpeg

or

/storage/app/public/uploads/users/3/avatar/0d123dfd32bc9b0068102338fbf29b.jpeg

I had this paths stored in the users table. How can I display it in my view.blade.php file ? I tried smth like this:

<img src="{{ url('/') }}{{ $user->avatar }}" alt="avatar">

But the image is not found on this path. Any idea ?

The image has to be in your "public" folder ... the browser do not see anything thats not in that public by default configuration. look here --> http://tutsnare.com/upload-files-in-laravel/ — Simon Müller, Feb 05 '17 at 14:54
I saw a lot if examples , there are storing files in the storage folder: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39748377/laravel-access-images-outside-public-folder or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30191330/laravel-5-how-to-access-image-uploaded-in-storage-within-view — Attila Naghi, Feb 05 '17 at 14:55
take a look at this https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/filesystem#file-urls — Afif Zafri, Feb 05 '17 at 14:57

You need to use the syntax as

<img src='{{ asset("path-to-your-file") }}' alt='avatar'>

instead

<img src="{{ url('/') }}{{ $user->avatar }}" alt="avatar">

asset() points to public folder. path-to-your-file means the rest of the path

Additionally I have previously posted a similar answer. Please take a look at it too.

by path-to-your-file, do you mean full path ? – Attila Naghi Feb 05 '17 at 14:58
This is generated: http://myproject.local/storage/app/public/uploads/users/2/avatar/0d8c18a52732bc9b0068102338fbf29b.jpeg. but i got 404. If i accessed it browser I got this: `NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161:` – Attila Naghi Feb 05 '17 at 15:01
can you open the file in your browser by putting in this : `http://your-url//uploads/users/2/avatar/0d8c18a52732bc9b0068102338fbf29b.jpeg` – Simon Müller Feb 05 '17 at 15:01
I did that , and I get routing issues: `NotFoundHttpException in RouteCollection.php line 161` – Attila Naghi Feb 05 '17 at 15:02
I changed into this `` but i still got that routing issue. I guess I need smth to add to the routing file: web.php .Im not sure what exactly ... – Attila Naghi Feb 05 '17 at 15:04
There is a similar answer which I posted earlier. Take a look at it. – Gayan Feb 05 '17 at 15:09
I had to used this: `php artisan storage:link` it will generate a symlink – Attila Naghi Feb 05 '17 at 15:18
Yes I figured it. That's why I gave you the like. Glad It worked for you – Gayan Feb 05 '17 at 15:23
