The public_path
will return the path to the public
directory. It can also be used to construct paths relative to the public
directory if a $path
is supplied.
#Signature
The signature of the public_path
function is:
1function public_path(
2 $path = ''
3);
#Example Use
The following examples will assume that the Laravel application is installed in the
/home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/
directory. The resulting path will appear above the function calls as a comment.
1// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public
2public_path();
3
4// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public/js
5public_path('js');
The public_path
does not automatically add the trailing slash /
character to the final string. public_path
's return value can be passed into the str_finish
function to achieve the same affect:
1// /home/vagrant/Code/Laravel/public/js/
2str_finish(public_path('js'), '/');
