Laravel 5: Generating Secure URLs to Assets With secure_asset

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 helper function and always passes true as the argument for the $secure parameter.

#Signature

The signature of the secure_asset function is:

1function secure_asset(
2    $path
3);

#Example Use

The following function calls are equivalent:

1// https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js
2secure_asset('js/application.min.js');
3 
4asset('js/application.min.js');

#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.

 1// https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js
 2asset(
 3    'https://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js',
 4    false
 5);
 6 
 7// http://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js
 8secure_asset(
 9    'http://laravel.artisan/js/application.min.js'
10);
11 
12// http://laravel.developer/js/application.min.js
13asset(
14    'http://laravel.developer/js/application.min.js'
15);
