Are you sure $files has any values? You can check that by just doing dd($files) before return view(). It will die and dump the given variable. If that is empty, then that is the reason you don't see anything ;)

List files in a directory
Hello,
After upload a file on the server, in /storage/app/public/uploads, I would like, on the same view that the send form, show a list of all the files in this directory.
I have this in my controller :
public function uploadFile(){
$allFiles = Storage::allFiles('/public/uploads');
$files = array();
foreach ($allFiles as $file) {
$files[] = $this->fileInfo(pathinfo(public_path() . '/public/uploads' . $file));
}
return view('uploadfile', compact('files'));
}
public function fileInfo($filePath)
{
$file = array();
$file['name'] = $filePath['filename'];
$file['extension'] = $filePath['extension'];
$file['size'] = filesize($filePath['dirname'] . '/' . $filePath['basename']);
return $file;
}
And in the view :
@foreach ($files as $file)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>{{ $file['name'] }}</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">{{ $file['extension'] }}</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">{{ $file['size'] }}</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<a href="" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Download</a>
</div>
</div>
@endforeach
There's no error, but nothing appear on the view.
What did I missed ? Thanks,

@foreach ($files as $file)
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<p>{{ $file->name }}</p>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">{{ $file->extension }}</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">{{ $file->size }}</div>
<div class="col-sm-2">
<a href="" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Download</a>
</div>
</div>
@endforeach

Effectivelly, dd(files) shows nothing... There's an error in my code to get the data about the files.

Ok, I can list files in my uploads directory ;-) But now, I woul'd like to have a link to the file and show the size of them.
The link is not good, I have : http://localhost/storage/files
I'm using this : $url = Storage::url('files');
And for the size, I don't know how to use this, in the doc : $size = Storage::size('file.jpg'); If I put $files, it's not working...

I can get some informations about file upload but not size or mimetype, I have this error : File not found at path: fileName1541607795.png
$ext = \File::extension($fileName);
$path = Storage::disk('public')->path($fileName);
$size = Storage::disk('public')->size($fileName);
$type = Storage::disk('public')->mimeType($fileName);
return back()
->with('success','Fichier envoyé.');
And I don't know how to pass these variables with the return back and the success message.

I'm lost... I don't understand how files working. I can't get the path to download the file, or it's size, after upload it. This is the function to show the view :
public function uploadFile(Request $request){
$files = Storage::files('uploads');
$url = Storage::url('files');
$path2 = Storage::files('uploads')->url($files->path);
$path = Storage::disk('public')->path('files');
return view('uploadfile', [
'files' => $files,
'url' => $url,
'path' => $path,
'size' => $size
]);
}
A little help please ? Thanks,

Always trying to understand files in Laravel... Get informations about upload files (path for uplaod, size, etc).
$files_with_size = array();
$files = Storage::files('uploads');
foreach ($files as $key => $file) {
$files_with_size[$key]['name'] = $file;
$files_with_size[$key]['size'] = Storage::disk('uploads')->size($file);
}
I've got this error : Driver [] is not supported.
Any help please, again ?
