Laravel 5 - How to access image uploaded in storage within View?

I have got user\'s avatars uploaded in Laravel storage. How can I access them and render them in a view?

The server is pointing all requests to /public,

Answer 1

According to Laravel 5.2 docs, your publicly accessible files should be put in directory

storage/app/public

To make them accessible from the web, you should create a symbolic link from public/storage to storage/app/public.

ln -s /path/to/laravel/storage/app/public /path/to/laravel/public/storage

Now you can create in your view an URL to the files using the asset helper:

echo asset('storage/file.txt');
