Try reading up on the asset helper function. You can set the assets folder to be global_assets in your .env file and then use the helper function.

How does Laravel/Blade handle assets ?
Hello, I'm having a problem with my assets (images and js files).
I have created a global_asset folder inside my public folder.
I have created a resource controller ProjectController to route user either to the list of projects (index.blade.php) or to view a single project (show.blade.php)
Both index.blade.php and show.blade.php extends the same initial layout (my template.blade.php).
The PROBLEM:
in the template.blade.php I have included some assets like this:
<script src="global_assets/js/plugins/visualization/d3/d3.min.js"></script>
When the controller routes me to the index ( /domain/projects) (to show all projects), this works and all assets are accessed correctly.
When the controller routes me to the create.blade.php file to show only a single project ( /domain/projects/{idOfProject} ) this doesn't work, in telescope it shows that the assest are accessed as if they were in "/projects/global_assets/...."

try add "/" in front of the global_assets and see..
<script src="/global_assets/js/plugins/visualization/d3/d3.min.js"></script>

The path you have specified is relative to your current URL. This is not specific to Laravel but to how HTML works. If you put a slash (/) before your path, it will always refer to the root. You could also just add the full URL or use Larvel's asset helper: src="{{ asset('global_assets/js/plugins/visualization/d3/d3.min.js') }}"

@NASH - My problem is not with how HTML works or expect the references to css/js/img to be provided. My problem is how can I force those links to be independent of the relative path of my views blade files.
Well, I had to use the asset(..) helper function and even of the assets are in a global directory at the root of my website (in public folder in laravel) I had to define the ASSET_URL= in the .ENV file (in my case it's simply a blank).
Now everything works as expected.
