Laravel 11 step by step instructions to upload file in storage directory and display in blade file
In this tutorial we will learn about to how to insert the images or file in storage directory and create a symlink and display image or file in Laravel 11 application.
-
Upload image to storage directory (storage/app/)
$path = $request->file('photo')->store('avatars', 'public'); return $path;
Here is photo is file name and avatars is folder inside
storage/app/public
directory and you don't have to create the avatars directory. It will be created automatically after executing the above script. Data (images, files, documents) stores instorage/app/public
directory in not directly accessible so you have to create a symlink by runningphp artisan storage:link
command. Now you can access file by using below code snippt in any blade.php file.<img src="{{ asset('/storage/avatars/5AGu1cRdR73BQ3J1voZKStb47lhItNawm9FwUW5J.png') }}" />
Here is full demo code to insert image in storage directory and creating a symlink and displaying the image in blade.php file.
add code to web.php file (
routes/web.php
)Route::get('/image-upload', [TestController::class, 'uploadImage'])->name('uploadImage'); Route::post('/image-upload', [TestController::class, 'saveUploadImage'])->name('uploadImageSave'); //create symlink Route::get('/storage-link', function(){ Artisan::call('storage:unlink'); Artisan::call('storage:link'); echo "symlink created"; });
Add controller using
php artisan make:controller TestController
command and paste below code in it<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Models\User; use App\Mail\TestMail; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Mail; class TestController extends Controller { public function uploadImage(){ return view('image'); } public function saveUploadImage(Request $request){ $path = $request->file('photo')->store('avatars', 'public'); return view('image', compact('path')); } }
Create view file image.blade.php in resources/views directory
