How to show a image from the storage folder
I am making a website where i upload a image and later show the image in the website.
The uploaded image ends up in the storage folder (path: storage\images\uploads)
This is what i did:
-
created a symlink to make a connection.
php artisan storage:link -
And load the uploaded image in the view:
<img src="{{ asset('storage/images/uploads/'.$product -> afbeelding) }}" alt="" title=""/>
But it doesn't work.
Am I doing something wrong? Did I forget a step?

The storage folder in the public folder exist. In the storage folder is a .gitignore file.

So for the image to appear in the storage/images/uploads folder, you should actually save the image to storage/app/public/images/uploads
So you put it in your storage/app/public folder and it appears by symlink in public/storage
I know the naming is confusing. Just an unfortunate choice by taylor in the early days.
