Access images inside public folder in laravel

Question

How can I access the images stored inside public/images folder without the use of Laravel's own functions like assets()?

I just want to get the direct URL of the images stored in images folder.

Eg:

localhost/webapp/images/stackoverflow.png 

When requesting the link i should get the direct image.

Answer 1

Just put your Images in Public Directory (public/...folder or direct images).
Public directory is by default rendered by laravel application.
Let's suppose I stored images in public/images/myimage.jpg.
Then in your HTML view, page like: (image.blade.php)

<img src="{{url('/images/myimage.jpg')}}" alt="Image"/> 

Answer 2

If you are inside a blade template

{{ URL::to('/') }}/images/stackoverflow.png
