I'm building a Foursquare like app.where users can upload there pics from a place,upload there user pics etc.
I also have some pics with is some how static and are assets like icons,city pics and so on.
What's the right way of storing and retrieving image(s) associated with one model?
should I create a new model and go polymorphic approach so to speak?
By the way, I don't want to store pics in public directory?
should I use cloud soloutions?
Is there any tutorials?
The best for storing would be the storage directory. You can then create a route to the storage directory and fetch the file you need.
This might help you out: http://www.codetutorial.io/laravel-5-file-upload-storage-download/
Also it is a good approach for images to use a polymorphic relation
yeah thanks I will tell the results but what about Rackspace and other file Systems. Don't you recommend it?
