How to display file in laravel-8

Question

I can upload file in database and it is stored in my upload files.

Now I want to display it in in my show.blade.php, so I did this, but it is not working.

<iframe src="/storage/uploads/{{ $file->file_path }}"  width="400" height="400"></iframe>

as result I got this not found in show.blade.php

So how can I display it? This is my FileController.php

class FileUpload extends Controller
{
  public function createForm(){
    return view('file-upload');
  }

  public function fileUpload(Request $req){
        $req->validate([
        'file' => 'required'
        ]);

        $fileModel = new File;

        if($req->file()) {
            $fileName = time().'_'.$req->file->getClientOriginalName();
            $filePath = $req->file('file')->storeAs('uploads', $fileName, 'public');

            $fileModel->name = time().'_'.$req->file->getClientOriginalName();
            $fileModel->file_path = '/storage/' . $filePath;
            $fileModel->save();

            return back()
            ->with('success','File has been uploaded.')
            ->with('file', $fileName);
        }
   }

   public function show(File $file)
    {
        // $news=News::find($id);
        return view('show',compact('file'));
    }

}

this is web.php

Route::get('/upload-file', [FileUpload::class, 'createForm']);

Route::post('/upload-file', [FileUpload::class, 'fileUpload'])->name('fileUpload');
Route::get('/uploadshow', [FileUpload::class, 'show']);

Thanks

What have you tried to resolve the problem? Is `storage` a folder, or even a symlink, in your webroot? — Nico Haase, Dec 03 '21 at 06:52

Judging from the screenshot: did you try to remove the `=` at the beginning of the `src` attribute? That looks pretty wrong to me — Nico Haase, Dec 03 '21 at 09:19

You need to put proper path in iframe using asset()

<iframe src="{{ asset('storage/app/public/uploads/') }}/{{ $file->file_path }}"  width="400" height="400"></iframe>

Can you check using f12 what path exactly iframe is taking? please add screenshot of that also – Leena Patel Dec 03 '21 at 07:41
please check update – Shahed Khan Dec 03 '21 at 09:18
Please add some explanation to your answer such that others can learn from it. For example, why is there a `=` at the beginning of the `src` attribute? – Nico Haase Dec 03 '21 at 09:20
your $file variable is not fetching data from database can you show us using `dd($file)` – Leena Patel Dec 03 '21 at 10:18
@NicoHaase it was a typo. thank you for indicating – Leena Patel Dec 03 '21 at 10:19
@ShahedKhan please remove `=` from the beginning of src. it was a typo by me – Leena Patel Dec 03 '21 at 10:20

You may use the URL method to get the URL for a given file. If you are using the local driver, this will typically just prepend /storage to the given path and return a relative URL to the file. If you are using the s3 driver, the fully qualified remote URL will be returned:

 <iframe src="{{ URL::asset('storage/uploads/'.$file->file_path}}"width="400" height="400"></iframe>

Your route uploadshow should have parameter fileId like this uploadshow/{fileId}.

Then in your show function will be show($fileID). $file = File:find($fileID)

In your frame src, asset($file->file_path)
