Laravel Uploaded file path return error - php

Question

i been following the upload method using this tutorial and i got some errors that i cant brain anymore.
Here are the example, i upload file name "fileNumber1.pdf", the laravel system will save the file using Storage facade.
$filePath[] = $fileData->storeAs('uploadedFile', $fileName);
So the original path will be "storage/app/uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf".
To view the file, the tutorial suggest that to use
echo asset('storage/file.txt');
So from my understanding the echo should be like
echo asset('storage/uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf');
Since i use local development the return is
http://localhost:8000/storage/uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf
Then i go to the link given, it return
Sorry, the page you are looking for could not be found.
So how is the proper way to receive or view the file?

Answer 1

This url http://localhost:8000/ points to pubilc folder
So store your file inside uploadedFile folder inside public folder then use like
http://localhost:8000/uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf
otherwise use storage_path('uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf'); instead asset('storage/uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf');

Answer 2

If you would have followed the tutorial link then you should have run the below command which creates a symlink, If you haven't, do run that artisan command in your application folder.
php artisan storage:link
So now the below commad will give you desired result.
{{ asset('storage/uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf') }}
or
{{ storage_path('uploadedFile/fileNumber1.pdf') }}
You don't have to point the complete path of your file because asset() will defaultly point you to public folder and then you have to add the required path of your file location.

Answer 3

sorry for all the rude if you receive.
The mistake is mine.
The solution was simple.
Original is
$filePath[] = $fileData->storeAs('uploadedFile', $fileName);
The solution is
$filePath[] = $fileData->storeAs('public/uploadedFile', $fileName);
Just add "public" before the file path before uploading.
Thanks all for the effort.
