Add base URL to images in Laravel

Add base URL to images in Laravel

The asset function generates a URL for an asset using the current scheme of the request (HTTP or HTTPS):

$url = asset('img/photo.jpg');

You can configure the asset URL host by setting the ASSET_URL variable in your .env file. This can be useful if you host your assets on an external service like Amazon S3:

// ASSET_URL=http://example.com/assets

$url = asset('img/photo.jpg'); // http://example.com/assets/img/photo.jpg

Example how to use asset() in JsonResource

class UserResource extends JsonResource

{

    /**

     * Transform the resource into an array.

     *

     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request

     * @return array

     */

    public function toArray($request)

    {

        return [

            'id' => $this->id,

            'name' => $this->name,

            'logo' => asset($this->logo),

            'email' => $this->email,

        ];

    }

}
