Description:

I'm uploading an image with laravel using this code:

$product_image = $request->file('product_image');
$product_image_extension = $product_image->extension();
$product_image_name = time() . '.' . $product_image_extension;
$product_image->storeAs('/media/product_images', $product_image_name);
$model->product_image = $product_image_name;

It works fine, the file is uploaded to storage/app/media/product_images/.

Then, I run the command

php artisan storage: link

to create the symlink in public. The Command Execute Like this:

Local NTFS volumes are required to complete the operation.
The [E:\Complete Programming Bootcamp\laravel Work\ecom-project\cyber_shopping\public\storage] link 
has been connected to [E:\Complete Programming Bootcamp\laravel Work\ecom- 
project\cyber_shopping\storage\app/public].
The links have been created.

I am Using This Code To Display Image:

{{asset('storage/media/product_images/' . $list->product_image)}}

But Image is not displaying on the frontend.

Also, The Storage Folder Is not created in the public folder. PLz, Help Me.

Thanks

Step 1:: Store Image

$path = ‘’;
if( $request->has('product_image') ) {
    $path = $request->file('product_image')->store('media/product_images');
}
$model->product_image = $path;

Step 2:: Check Store File Path

The File Will Be Store In Path::

————————————————————————————————

Storage/app/public/media/product_images/

Step 3:: Link Storage In Public Folder

Run The Storage Link Command and remove storage link folder from the public if already exist

php artisan storage:link

Step 4:: Create Global Function To Access Images Main Controller.php File Create Global Storage Image Getting Function Like This

public static function getUrl($path)
{
    $url = "";
    if( !empty($path) && Storage::disk('public')->exists($path) )
        $url = Storage::url($path);
    return $url;
}

Step 5:: Use Function In Assest To Display Image

<img src="{{ getUrl($list->product_image) }}" />
