Storage folder images not displaying in view-CodePudding

Please how can I display the images stored in storage folder in my view in laravel Here is my controller;

 if ($request->file('image')) {
        $file = $request->file('image');
        $filename = date('YmdHi').$file->getClientOriginalName();
        Image::make($file)->resize(248,203)->save(storage_path('upload/category/'.$filename));
        $data['image'] = $filename;
    }
    $data->save();

And here is my view blade

<img src="{{Storage::url('upload/category'.$category->image) }}" alt="" width="100">

I have runned php artisan storage:link but still the image is not displaying. Is there any thing else I was supposed to do.

CodePudding user response：

use this code to link storage public directory to app public directory

php artisan storage:link

Then you can access to it's directories or file with this url

http://yoursite.com/storage/.....

You can use this code to get files that exist in this folder

assets('upload/category')

CodePudding user response：

First Create a symbolic link with your public folder by running this command: php artisan storage:link

After That in view file fetch the image like this.

 <img src="{{ asset('storage/'.$category->image) }}" width="100" alt="">

Okay Thank you all for your help. I finally got it right. Let me drop it here might be of help to someone else. I am using laravel 8 so in my controller i used

if ($request->file('image')) {
    $file = $request->file('image');
    $filename = date('YmdHi').$file->getClientOriginalName();
    Image::make($file)->resize(248,203)- 
  >save(storage_path('app/public/category/'.$filename));
    $data['image'] = $filename;
    }
   $data->save();

and in my view

<img src="{{Storage::url('category/'.$category->image) }}" alt="" 
 width="100">

NOTE: the directory path is storage>app>public (all these ones are there by default dont create them at least for me) I just had to create the category directory only making it like this

STORAGE>APP>PUBLIC>CATEGORY

and it worked. Thank you all once more for your help so far
