Laravel URL Helper Function: secure_asset

By John Koster

secure_asset($path)

The secure_asset function will return a URI composed of the application's URI and the given $path. It internally makes a call to the asset (discussed in the Laravel URL Helper Function: asset article) helper function and always passes true as the argument for the $secure parameter.

The following:

1<?php

2

3// https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js

4secure_asset('js/application.min.js');

is equivalent to calling:

1<?php

2

3// https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js

4asset('js/application.min.js', true);

#Notes on asset and secure_asset

If the supplied $path to asset and secure_asset contains a protocol, that protocol is used regardless of what function or flags are set. For example, if a URI with the http:// protocol is supplied to the secure_asset function, the resulting URI will contain the http:// protocol. In addition, if a domain name is supplied to either of the functions, that domain name will be used instead of the domain present in the request.

 3// https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js

 4asset('https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js', false);
