How to display Image saved in storage folder on blade
I would like to display an image saved in storage directory in a blade view, with the path stored to the database
I am storing the file successfully to the storage/app/public folder and writing the path to the database like so
$imagePath = $request->file('image')->store('public');
$image = Image::make(Storage::get($imagePath))->resize(320,240)->encode();
Storage::put($imagePath,$image);
$myTheory->image = $imagePath;
Now I would like to retrieve the image to use in my index.blade.php file like so
<div class="panel-body">
{{ $myTheory->description }}
<!-- CODE GOES HERE FOR THE IMAGE SOURCE-->
<img src="storage/app/{{ $myTheory->image}}"></img>
<div class="panel-footer">
{{ $myTheory->updated_at }}
</div>
</div>
Obviously the above code does not work because I am trying to access the storage folder from the view
in my page source i have this
<img src="storage/app/public/9c9805d15667f17720ab79638e94b824.jpeg"></img>
The laravel documentation states use storage link in my terminal I did this
php artisan storage:link
The "public/storage" directory already exists.
This tells me the storage link has been created for storage\app\public and public\storage
further the laravel documentation states use the asset helper so in my blade file I did this but it does not work
<div class="panel-body">
{{ $myTheory->description }}
<img src="<?php echo asset("storage/app/$myTheory->image")?>"></img>
<div class="panel-footer">
{{ $myTheory->updated_at }}
</div>
</div>
and in the page source i get the full qualifying path to storage directory
<img src="http://dev.flatearthexperiment.com/storage/app/public/9c9805d15667f17720ab79638e94b824.jpeg"></img>
But there is no image loading to the view!
What am I doing wrong and how to fix!
See laravel documentation for what I used https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/filesystem#the-public-disk
navigate to public disk.
Any and all help welcome THANKS!

@usman Why?
Level 1
@usman worked for me, i had issues because the app in question was moved from cpannel to hestia then me storage shortcut in the public folder stopped working, i tried other alternatives but this worked for me
Level 1
@usman what if we are using an s3 bucket or suddenly we need to switch to an s3 bucket? asset() helper will fail there right.

A a note, to make the above work, You must change the $imagePath from a path to a filename, I used basics to get it done like so
//store image coverphoto and write path to database
if ($request->file('image')->isValid()){
$imagePath = $request->file('image')->store('public');
$image = Image::make(Storage::get($imagePath))->resize(320,240)->encode();
Storage::put($imagePath,$image);
$imagePath = explode('/',$imagePath);
$imagePath = $imagePath[1];
$myTheory->image = $imagePath;
}
$myTheory->save();

Hi Usman / gustavios / whoever looks at this ...
I have 8 hours in this, and have tried a lot of approaches. None have returned the image.
I have run storage:link and verified that Storage::get fetches the image in Tinker.
I am likely missing something really obvious,
(A) When I tried the asset() approach I received a correct and fully qualified path in my browser's "view Source", but no image displayed.
(B) So I thought I would try the Storage facade, and put use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage; at the head of my PortFoliosController.php
When I call the following in the @section ('contents') of index.blade.php
<img data-src= "{{Storage::get('public/images/', $portfolio->picture) }}" alt="Card image cap">
These two errors are returned:
1/2 ErrorException in Local.php line 215: file_get_contents(C:\wamp\www\eastport\storage\app\public/images): failed to open stream: Permission denied
2/2 ErrorException in Local.php line 215: file_get_contents(C:\wamp\www\eastport\storage\app\public/images): failed to open stream: Permission denied (View: C:\wamp\www\eastport\resources\views\albums\index.blade.php)
(I tried reversing the "public/images" slash, but it made no difference.)
(C) So tried adding
'images' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public/images/turkey'),
'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage/images/turkey',
'visibility' => 'public',
],
to filesystems.php and using this call in index.blade.php
<img data-src= "{{Storage::disk('images')->get( $portfolio->picture) }}" alt="Card image cap">
and I get the same error as above.
Guidance will be gratefully appreciated.
@milest I think you have mistaken data-src with src. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15320052/what-are-all-the-differences-between-src-and-data-src-attributes

Image can be stored in public folder i.e. in root/public, or in storage/app/public. To address the later, of course we will write
<img src="storage/myfolder/myimage.png" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
if the file is located in storage/app/public/myfolder, and we save the file using File copy etc syntax. But if we save the file using Storage:: syntax, the file will be saved in storage/app folder which is not accessible by public. To address this in Blade, I just write this :
<img src="{{ storage_path('app/myfolder/myimage.jpg') }}" style="width: 100%; height: 100%;">
if the file is stored in storage/app/myfolder using Storage:: syntax. And of course the config.php should be configured properly. Hope the above helps. Cheers.

I save the image in storage/app/public/image/ and when i use asset("storage/app/public/image/$post->image") none of the above solution works! any help will be appreciate.

@nadiaam The solution above helped me. Don't include app and public in your path.
Level 2
Hello @nadiaam
Try to replace the "app/public" with "storage". This worked for me.
<img src="{{ asset("storage/image/$post->image") }}" alt=""/>

thank you so much

As suggested by @herrygallery You can try following:
<img src="{{ storage_path('app/' . $myTheory->image)" }}/>
Make sure you have access permissions for image file stored in storage folder
