How to Show Images Stored in Local Disk Storage in Laravel

If you've ever wanted to display images uploaded to your Laravel application from local disk storage, you're in the right place! Many developers find themselves needing to retrieve and view images stored in the local storage directory. In this guide, we'll guide you through the process of displaying these images in your Laravel application, complete with code snippets and step-by-step instructions.

Understanding the Challenge

When you upload images to a Laravel application, they're typically stored in various directories based on your application's configuration. By default, images can be saved in the storage/app directory and may not be directly accessible via a URL. Therefore, if you want to display these images on a web page, you need to create routes and write some logic to serve these images correctly.

Problem Statement

You want to display an image that is stored in the storage/user/ directory and retrieve this image in a way that it can be dynamically added to an interface using AJAX.

Step-by-Step Solution

Let’s break down the solution into clear sections that will guide you through the implementation process.

Step 1: Define the Routes

In your web.php routes file, define the necessary routes to handle AJAX requests for image retrieval. Here’s how you can do it:

Step 2: Create the Individual Response Method

In your ResponsesController, you'll create a method that will retrieve the correct path to the image stored in the local disk. Here’s how you can do it:

This code snippet constructs an HTML img tag with a source pointing to the route that serves the image.

Step 3: Return Image Response in AJAX

When you make an AJAX call to fetch the image, make sure to append the response correctly. Here’s an example of how to do it using jQuery:

Here, we are inserting the returned image into the element with the ID respContainer on the webpage.

Step 4: Serve the Image from Local Storage

Now, you need to implement the showImage method in your ResponsesController to fetch and return the actual image from local storage. This method will use Laravel's Storage facade to get the image file and return it with the appropriate headers.

In this method, we define the path to the image file, retrieve it using the Storage facade, and then create a response that contains the image data along with appropriate headers to display the image.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you can easily display images stored in local disk storage within your Laravel application. Setting up your routes and correctly implementing your controller methods ensures that images are retrievable and dynamically inserted into your web pages via AJAX.

Now you have the knowledge to enhance your Laravel project's user experience by showcasing images effectively. Happy coding!
