Local Storage Upload Laravel 5.3

Check this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30191330/laravel-5-how-to-access-image-uploaded-in-storage-within-view/30192351

Not what I wanted any way thanks.

@namoos can you explain your requirement then? I thought you wanted to display uploaded image as <img src="images/hello.jps" />

Yes i do. but from the storage directory, because all of my images reside there.

@namoos I already shared you one stackoverflow link, solution is there, please go through that.

Basically you have to create one route for this or create a symbolic link as specified here https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/filesystem#the-public-disk

You need to create a symlink from public/storage to storage/public. It's in the docs:

https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/filesystem#the-public-disk

There should already be a link between the storage/public folder and the public

try putting an image in the storage/public folder and access it via a route

like storage/public/test.png then navigate to ´/test.png´ you should be able to see the image

Thanks to all, I really appreciate your help

$prospect = Prospect::find($prospectId);

$attachDocumentOriginalName = $prospect->attach_policy_document_name; $documentMineType = $prospect->document_mine_type; $documentUniqueName = $prospect->attach_policy_document;

    $headers = [
        'Content-Type' => $documentMineType,
        'Content-Disposition' => "attachment; filename=" . $attachDocumentOriginalName,
    ];

    if (Storage::exists($documentUniqueName)) {
        return Response::make(Storage::disk('local')->get($documentUniqueName), 200, $headers);
    } else{
    your code
