How to access image from /storage -laravel- from SPA with vuejs

When you use the storage:link command, you create a symbolic link between your storage/app/public folder and your public/storage folder.

So now you can find your files at the url $BASE_URL/storage/img/logo.png.

I recommend you to use the asset helper function inside your blade template:

<img src="{{ asset('storage/img/logo.png' }}">

NOTE: be sure to set the proper file permissions on the folder or you get an Unauthorized error when trying to access it.


  1. Check config/filesystems.php (ie: unmodified default):
    // If server doesn't support "making symbolic links":

    'public' => [
        'driver' => 'local',
        'root' => storage_path('app/public'),
        'url' => env('APP_URL').'/storage',
        'visibility' => 'public',
    ],
  1. Save an image:
   $image = $request->file('image'); // something like that
   $slug = 'some-slug-99';

   $image->storeAs(
       'examples' .'/'. $slug,
       $image->getClientOriginalName(),
       'public'
   );
  1. Create the symlink from /storage/app/public to public/storage (ie: your public html folder which makes asset() work in Laravel Blade templates, I think but don't quote me on that)
$ php artisan storage:link
  1. Place the HTML in your Vue component:
<img
    v-for="image in example.images"
    :key="image.filename"
    :src="`/storage/examples/${example.slug}/${image.filename}`"
>

Also, read the docs: https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/filesystem


Well, after to do:

$ php artisan storage:link

In my component i used:

<img :src="'../storage/img/logo.png'">

thanks,
