How to get file URL using Storage facade in laravel 5

Question

I ve been experimenting using the new Flysystem integration with Laravel 5   I am storing  localised  paths to the DB  and getting the Storage facade to complete the path  For example I store screenshots 1 jpg and using   Storage  disk  local  - gt get  screenshots 1 jpg     or   Storage  disk  s3  - gt get  screenshots 1 jpg      I can retrieve the same file on different disks   get retrieves the file contents  but I am hoping to use it in my views like this    lt img src     Storage  path  screenshots 1 jpg         gt    but path  or anything able to retrieve the full path is not available  as far as I can see    So how can I return the full path   Or  I m wondering if this is by design   If so  why am I not supposed to be able to get the full path   Or  am I going about this completely the wrong way

Edit  Solution for L5 2   There s a better and more straightforward solution   Use Storage  url  filename  to get the full path URL of a given file  Note that you need to set S3 as your storage filesystem in config filesystems php   default    gt   s3   Of course  you can also do Storage  disk  s3  - gt url  filename  in the same way   As you can see in config filesystems php there s also a parameter  cloud    gt   s3  defined  that refers to the Cloud filesystem  In case you want to mantain the storage folder in the local server but retrieve store some files in the cloud use Storage  cloud    which also has the same filesystem methods  i e  Storage  cloud  - gt url  filename    The Laravel documentation doesn t mention this method  but if you want to know more about it you can check its source code here

Take a look at this  How to use storage path   to view an image in laravel 4   The same applies to Laravel 5   Storage is for the file system  and the most part of it is not accessible to the web server  The recommended solution is to store the images somewhere in the public folder  which is the document root   in the public screenshots  for example   Then when you want to display them  use asset  screenshots 1 jpg

Well  weeks ago I made a very similiar question  Get CDN url from uploaded file via Storage   I wanted the CDN url to show the image in my view  as you are requiring     However  after review the package API I confirmed that there is no way do this task  So  my solution was avoid using flysystem  In my case  I needed to play with RackSpace  So  finally decide to create my use package and make my own storage package using The PHP SDK for OpenStack   By this way  you have full access for functions that you need like getPublicUrl   in order to get the public URL from a cdn container        var DataObject  file     file    OpenCloud  container  cdn  - gt getObject  screenshots 1 jpg         url   https   d224d291-8316ade ssl cf1 rackcdn com screenshots 1 jpg  url    string   file- gt getPublicUrl UrlType  SSL     In conclusion  if need to take storage service to another level  then flysystem is not enough  For local purposes  you can try  nXu s solution

The Path to your Storage disk would be      storagePath    Storage  disk  local  - gt getDriver  - gt getAdapter  - gt getPathPrefix     I don t know any shorter solutions to that      You could share the  storagePath to your Views and then just call    storagePath   myImg jpg
