save image in public folder instead storage laravel 5

Question

i wanna save my avatar at "Public" folder and ther retrieve.

ok. i can save it but in "storage/app" folder instead "public"

my friend told me go to "config/filesystem.php" and edit it ,so i did it like this

 'disks' => [
   'public' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('image'),
        'url' => env('APP_URL').'/public',
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],

still no change.

here my simple codes

Route :

Route::get('pic',function (){
return view('pic.pic');
});
Route::post('saved','test2Controller@save');

Controller

public function save(Request $request)
{
        $file = $request->file('image');
        //save format
        $format = $request->image->extension();
        //save full adress of image
        $patch = $request->image->store('images');

        $name = $file->getClientOriginalName();

        //save on table
        DB::table('pictbl')->insert([
            'orginal_name'=>$name,
            'format'=>$base,
            'patch'=>$patch
        ]);

        return response()
               ->view('pic.pic',compact("patch"));
}

View:

{!! Form::open(['url'=>'saved','method'=>'post','files'=>true]) !!}
                {!! Form::file('image') !!}
                {!! Form::submit('save') !!}
            {!! Form::close() !!}

                <img src="storage/app/{{$patch}}">

How Can save my image (and file in future) at public folder instead storage?

Solution 1

In config/filesystems.php, you could do this... change the root element in public

'disks' => [
   'public' => [
       'driver' => 'local',
       'root'   => public_path() . '/uploads',
       'url' => env('APP_URL').'/public',
       'visibility' => 'public',
    ]
]

and you can access it by

Storage::disk('public')->put('filename', $file_content);

Solution 2

You can pass disk option to method of \Illuminate\Http\UploadedFile class:

$file = request()->file('image');
$file->store('toPath', ['disk' => 'public']);

or you can create new Filesystem disk and you can save it to that disk.

You can create a new storage disc in config/filesystems.php:

'my_files' => [
    'driver' => 'local',
    'root'   => public_path() . '/myfiles',
],

in controller:

$file = request()->file('image');
$file->store('toPath', ['disk' => 'my_files']);

Solution 3

You'll need to link your storage directory to your public folder with:

php artisan storage:link

Once you've done that, to display it in the view you can do:

{{ asset('storage/file.txt') }}

Or in your case:

<img src="{{ asset('storage/app/' . $patch) }}">
