Laravel 10 asset helper [Solved]

@vincent15000 yes I know why there is an asset_url. But I've never had to use it in any prior version, the asset helper always worked without it. It was late so I haven't dug into framework code yet, when I get a chance I will do it today.

Right now I'm just experimenting with version 10.

@jlrdw I didn't say that you don't know that there is an asset_url ;). I just wanted to say that perhaps it's now necessary to always define this property just to let anybody customize the asset URL.

@vincent15000 I even compared ver 9 and 10, they look the same.

https://github.com/laravel/framework/blob/10.x/src/Illuminate/Routing/UrlGenerator.php#L247

@jlrdw Yes exactly, I also compared both versions.

Perhaps it's an issue that will be rectified.

@vincent15000 I found the culprit:

Version 9 in config\app.php

'asset_url' => env('ASSET_URL'),

Version 10

'asset_url' => env('ASSET_URL', '/'),

Basically instead of:

<link href="http://localhost/laravel10/assets/css/dog/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

you get:

<link href="/assets/css/dog/style.css" rel="stylesheet">

if clicked on

http://localhost/assets/css/dog/style.css

The laravel10 part is missing.

I just took out the stray slash:

'asset_url' => env('ASSET_URL'),

I just missed seeing this at first.

@jlrdw so you are running laravel in a sub folder? Curious how you configured that

@Sinnbeck main laravel out of web, see http://novate.co.uk/deploy-laravel-5-on-shared-hosting-from-heart-internet/ Very secure this way.

Basically what was public is now subfolder, nothing else in in there. And really, main laravel like app, vendor, everything else can go anywhere in the file system, just not in web folders.

You can actually do the same with nginx.

Edit:

Assets do go there, but images are above (out of) web served via a image controller and a route. I have never messed with a symbolic link except certain setups where required in Linux.

I got used of this because it's the way I served images when years ago I deployed to a tomee server. Images wasn't part of the war file.

@jlrdw Ah ok interesting :) Was just curious
