Laravel 5 - How to Access Image Uploaded in Storage Within View

Laravel 5 - How to access image uploaded in storage within View?

The best approach is to create a symbolic link like @SlateEntropy very well pointed out in the answer below. To help with this, since version 5.3, Laravel includes a command which makes this incredibly easy to do:

php artisan storage:link

That creates a symlink from public/storage to storage/app/public for you and that's all there is to it. Now any file in /storage/app/public can be accessed via a link like:

http://somedomain.com/storage/image.jpg

---

If, for any reason, your can't create symbolic links (maybe you're on shared hosting, etc.) or you want to protect some files behind some access control logic, there is the alternative of having a special route that reads and serves the image. For example a simple closure route like this:

Route::get('storage/{filename}', function ($filename)
{
    $path = storage_path('public/' . $filename);

    if (!File::exists($path)) {
        abort(404);
    }

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

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

    return $response;
});

You can now access your files just as you would if you had a symlink:

http://somedomain.com/storage/image.jpg

If you're using the Intervention Image Library you can use its built in response method to make things more succinct:

Route::get('storage/{filename}', function ($filename)
{
    return Image::make(storage_path('public/' . $filename))->response();
});

WARNING

Keep in mind that by manually serving the files you're incurring a performance penalty, because you're going through the entire Laravel request lifecycle in order to read and send the file contents, which is considerably slower than having the HTTP server handle it.

Laravel Retrieve Images from storage to view

File not publicly accessible like you said then read file like this

$userid = session()->get('user')->id;
$contents = Storage::get($userid.'/file.jpg'); 

Assuming your file is at path storage/app/{$userid}/file.jpg
and default disk is local check config/filesystems.php

File publicly accessible

If you want to make your file publicly accessible then store file inside this storage/app/public folder. You can create subfolders inside it and upload there. Once you store file inside storage/app/public then you have to just create a symbolic link and laravel has artisan command for it.

php artisan storage:link

This create a symbolic link of storage/app/public to public/storage. Means now you can access your file like this

$contents = Storage::disk('public')->get('file.jpg'); 

here the file physical path is at storage/app/public/file.jpg and it access through symbolic link path public/storage/file.jpg

Suppose you have subfolder storage/app/public/uploads where you store your uploaded files then you can access it like this

$contents = Storage::disk('public')->get('uploads/file.jpg');

When you make your upload in public folder then you can access it in view

echo asset('storage/file.jpg'); //without subfolder uploads

echo asset('storage/uploads/file.jpg');

How to access image from storage

This return the file route (no url) (if you see the log it says /var/www.... etc)

storage_path('storage/app/uploads/'.$slider->imagem);

You should use asset helper to create URL of image

asset( 'storage/app/uploads/'.$slider->imagem);

Before this you need to run this command to create symbolic link to storage folder from public folder.

php artisan storage:link

Please try this and let me know how it works :)

How to display an storage image Laravel 5.2

How I solved my problem:

First of all, save the files on "public" folder.

On my filesystems.php i change my disk. Now my root are "public_path" and not "storage_path"

        'public_covers' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => public_path('images/covers'),
            'visibility' => 'public',
        ],

My controller method

    public function store(Request $request){

        $cover = $request->file('cover');
        $inputs = $this->request->all();

        $this->validate($this->request, [
            'title' => 'required|max:255',
            'description' => 'required',
            'gender' => 'required',
            'secondGender' => 'required',
            'year' => 'numeric|min:1900|max:2100',
            'lenght' => 'numeric|min:10'
        ]);

        //build movie model object
        $movie = New Movie();
        $movie->user_id = \Auth::user()->id;
        $movie->gender_id = $inputs['gender'];
        $movie->secondgender_id = $inputs['secondGender'];
        $movie->title = $inputs['title'];
        $movie->slug = str_slug($inputs['title']);
        $movie->description = $inputs['description'];
        $movie->lenght = $inputs['lenght'];
        $movie->year = $inputs['year'];

        //TODO Mudar a composição do nome da foto para impedir que no futuro se sobreponha uma capa com outro filme que venha a ter o mesmo nome
        //TODO: Change the name createan to avoid overwrite the cover with an movie with the same name
        $covername = str_slug($inputs['title']).'_cover' .'.jpg';

        //if have an cover file
        if($cover){
            //storage the file on my public_covers (look my filesystems.php)
            Storage::disk('public_covers')->put($covername, File::get($cover));
            $coverObject = New Cover();      

            //path com o nome do arquivo
            //path with the file name
            $coverObject->imagePath = 'images/covers/'.$covername;

            $coverObject->save();
            $movie->cover_id = $coverObject->id;
        }

        $movie->save();

        return redirect()
            ->route('user.dashboard')
            ->with([
                       'success' => 'Filme adicionado com sucesso!',
                   ]);
    }

My view image code

@if($movie->cover)
                <img class="cover" src="{{ asset($movie->cover->imagePath) }}" alt="{{ $movie->title }}"">
                @else
                <img class="cover" src="{{ asset('images/noimage.jpg') }}" alt="{{ $movie->title }}">
                @endif

show an uploaded image from storage laravel

your code does not work because you try get image from non public directory in laravel all public asset always store in root public folder.
in the case of images you can store in storage/app/public but whwn you want to get image always use public/ folder and it both connected with the sync link.

php artisan storage:link

use this command for sync link

after run this command 1shortcut created in your root public folder.
and you can all images from root public shortcut.

$url = Storage::url('database filed name where you store image data');
