Faker Image error
Hi i m newbie to Laravel and i m building a project which contains image uploading. Here is my factory code.
'''' $factory->define(News::class, function (Faker $faker) { return [ 'title'=>$faker->sentence, 'body'=>$faker->paragraph, 'image'=> $faker->image(storage_path('images'),400,300, null, false), 'category_id'=>rand(1,5), ]; }); ''''

InvalidArgumentException
Cannot write to directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\esportsblog\storage\images"

Second,, use your public directory :
image' => $faker->image('public/storage/images',400,300, null, false)

I suggest you use a linux server instead of a windows one. It makes it a lot easier to follow 95% of the guides online and you will have an environment that works almost identical with the server you eventually will host your project on.
There are several options on how to do that.
- Use homestead https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/homestead
- Use Sail https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/sail
- Setup your own virtual machine running a lamp stack. https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/install-laravel-on-ubuntu-for-apache/
