How to Display an Image Across Different Pages Using Laravel Route Prefix

When developing applications with Laravel, you might come across an issue where an image that appears on one page fails to display on another, especially when different route prefixes are involved. This can be a tricky problem to solve if you're not sure how Laravel handles paths to static files and images. In this post, we’ll explore this common problem and provide you with a clear solution to ensure that your images are displayed correctly across all pages within your application.

The Problem: Image Not Displaying on Route Prefix Pages

In the scenario we’re addressing, there is a project that utilizes route prefixes, particularly for a brand management section. Although the images show correctly on the dashboard, they fail to appear on pages that belong to the "brand" route prefix.

Here’s a simplified version of the code that illustrates the issue:

On pages under the "brand" prefix, the image uses a relative path. This relative path changes based on the current URL, thereby causing the image not to display due to its incorrect address. For example, the browser translates the relative path for brand routes as something like /brand/assets/..., which doesn't exist.

The Solution: Correcting the Image Path

To ensure that your images are consistently displayed across pages using different route prefixes, it’s important to use an absolute path or a method provided by Laravel to correctly reference your assets. Below are several methods you can use:

1. Using Absolute URLs

One straightforward solution is to use an absolute URL to your asset. This would look something like:

This method ensures that no matter which route prefix you are using, the image can always be found.

2. Using a Leading Slash in Relative URL

Another approach is to start the path with a leading slash. This tells the browser to look at the root of the website rather than relative to the current page. Like this:

3. Using Laravel’s asset() Helper

The best practice in a Laravel application is to use the asset() helper function. This function automatically generates a fully qualified URL for an asset using the application's configured asset URL. Here's how to implement it:

Using asset() not only resolves the path issue, but it also makes your code cleaner and easier to manage.

Conclusion

By configuring your image paths correctly, you can avoid common pitfalls associated with displaying assets on pages with different route prefixes. Utilizing absolute URLs or the asset() helper function in Laravel will ensure that your images are available across all pages without hassle.

Now, the next time you encounter a missing image in your Laravel application, you’ll know exactly how to address it! By implementing these solutions, you'll enhance the user experience and ensure that your application looks polished and professional.
