How to display an storage image Laravel 5.2 - php

Question

I want tho disply an image on my view, but i receive: File not found.
The two errors:
FileNotFoundException in FilesystemAdapter.php line 61:
storage/app/public/covers/teste-bravo_cover.jpg
FileNotFoundException in Filesystem.php line 386: File not found at
path: storage/app/public/covers/teste-bravo_cover.jpg
But the image is in the correct folder:
Well, in Laravel 5.2 storage:link won't work.
Image store on disk -works fine to store the image
if($cover){
dump("ok1");
Storage::disk('public_covers')->put($covername, File::get($cover));
$coverObject = New Cover();
//path com o nome do arquivo
$coverObject->imagePath = 'storage/app/public/covers/'.$covername;
dump($coverObject->imagePath);
}
//Salva a capa com o path para o arquivo
$coverObject->save();
My filesystems (with the "public_covers" disk) -works fine to store the image
'public_covers' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/public/covers'),
'visibility' => 'public',
],
View code: (if movie have cover, show them)
#if($movie->cover)
<img src="{{route('cover.image', [$movie->cover])}}" />
#endif
Route code, directing to controller method
Route::get('/movieimage/{coverId}',
[
'as' => 'cover.image',
'uses' => 'MovieController#getimage'
]
);
Controller Method to take the image
public function getimage($coverId){
$movie = Cover::find($coverId);
//dump($movie);
$imagePath = $movie['imagePath'];
dump($imagePath);
$file = Storage::disk('public_covers')->get($imagePath);
$response = Response::make($file, 200);
return $response;
}

Answer 1

you can try
Need to include this
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage;
And set in controller or route
Route::get('storage/{filename}', function ($filename)
{
$files = Storage::files('logs'); // set repo name of storage folder
$path = storage_path('public/' . $filename);
if (!File::exists($path)) {
abort(404);
}
$file = File::get($path);
$type = File::mimeType($path);
$response = Response::make($file, 200);
$response->header("Content-Type", $type);
return $response;
});

I am new to laravel. I had the same problem though am on laravel 5.8. I had created the symlink to display a pdf as a view but the FileNotFoundException persisted.
I ended up accessing the pdf using this url localhost:8000/storage/filename.ext.
After running ln -s /path/to/laravel/storage/public /path/to/laravel/public/storage or php artisan storage:link a storage folder is added to your appname/public directory. I think that once the link is created we access the images in the storage through the public link created. Try accessing the images via the new /appname/public/storage/app/pathtoimage folder created in the public directory and not pointing directly to the /appname/storage folder
<img src={{asset('/storage/pathtoimg')}} /> # using storage folder in public
Check this solution will work for you

How I solved my problem:
First of all, save the files on "public" folder.
On my filesystems.php i change my disk. Now my root are "public_path" and not "storage_path"
'public_covers' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => public_path('images/covers'),
'visibility' => 'public',
],
My controller method
public function store(Request $request){
$cover = $request->file('cover');
$inputs = $this->request->all();
$this->validate($this->request, [
'title' => 'required|max:255',
'description' => 'required',
'gender' => 'required',
'secondGender' => 'required',
'year' => 'numeric|min:1900|max:2100',
'lenght' => 'numeric|min:10'
]);
//build movie model object
$movie = New Movie();
$movie->user_id = \Auth::user()->id;
$movie->gender_id = $inputs['gender'];
$movie->secondgender_id = $inputs['secondGender'];
$movie->title = $inputs['title'];
$movie->slug = str_slug($inputs['title']);
$movie->description = $inputs['description'];
$movie->lenght = $inputs['lenght'];
$movie->year = $inputs['year'];
//TODO Mudar a composição do nome da foto para impedir que no futuro se sobreponha uma capa com outro filme que venha a ter o mesmo nome
//TODO: Change the name createan to avoid overwrite the cover with an movie with the same name
$covername = str_slug($inputs['title']).'_cover' .'.jpg';
//if have an cover file
if($cover){
//storage the file on my public_covers (look my filesystems.php)
Storage::disk('public_covers')->put($covername, File::get($cover));
$coverObject = New Cover();
//path com o nome do arquivo
//path with the file name
$coverObject->imagePath = 'images/covers/'.$covername;
$coverObject->save();
$movie->cover_id = $coverObject->id;
}
$movie->save();
return redirect()
->route('user.dashboard')
->with([
'success' => 'Filme adicionado com sucesso!',
]);
}
My view image code
#if($movie->cover)
<img class="cover" src="{{ asset($movie->cover->imagePath) }}" alt="{{ $movie->title }}"">
#else
<img class="cover" src="{{ asset('images/noimage.jpg') }}" alt="{{ $movie->title }}">
#endif
