Get Image from the Storage Folder in View - Laravel 5.4

Question

I'm trying to show the default.jpg avatar picture in my Laravel 5.4 profile.blade.php.

• I created a link between the public folder and the storage folder with: php artisan storage:link.
• The file is stored:

• I check in the source code of my webpage which showed the src="/public/storage/uploads/avatar/default.jpg"

But still no image could be found. Could someone explain to me what I am missing?

Answer 1

You can use this in the view once the storage link is present:

<img src="{{ asset('storage/uploads/avatar/default.jpg') }}" alt="" />

That will generate the full asset url to your image.

Answer 2

remove public from path and image will be shown if you set correct link
