Assets not referencing to public folder (Laravel)

Question

I have the public folder inside my laravel project and I have some js and css files inside it.

I\'m using the asset function and even though it\'s referencing to th

Answer 1

I was having same problem. This is due to moving of .htaccess file from public to root of the project in order to serve localhost/project rather than localhost/project/laravel. And needed to use public as well in the asset:

<link href="{{ asset('public/css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

Or, modify the asset function from /Illuminate/Foundation/helpers.php

if (! function_exists('asset')) {
    /**
     * Generate an asset path for the application.
     *
     * @param  string  $path
     * @param  bool    $secure
     * @return string
     */
    function asset($path, $secure = null)
    {
        return app('url')->asset("public/".$path, $secure);
    }
}

The preceding method is not good way. Anyway this would have been easier if there was config for setting asset path.

Answer 2

After you've savely and succesfully setup your .htaccess (like this), your method will work as you would expect it to work:

<link href="{{ asset('css/style.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

Be aware that all client-side URL requests (requests to images, JavaScript/CSS files, JSON) will be affected by the Rewrite Rules after you've setup your .htaccess.

Also be aware that it might take a while after you see the changes. Cache might interfere with these changes. So, make sure you clear your Laravel cache:

In your Shell run the following commands individually:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:cache
php artisan view:clear

And make sure to disable caching temporarily in your browser settings:

In Google Chrome: Open Dev Tools > Open the Network tab > Check "Disable cache".

Other browsers: search online how to do that.
