I store some pdf files on /storage/app/documents
directory with the following disk rule:
'documents' => [
'driver' => 'local',
'root' => storage_path('app/documents'),
],
Then I have this on api routes:
$api->get('documents/{filename}', 'App\\Api\\V1\\Controllers\\DocumentController@show');
And this on my controller:
public function show($filename)
{
$path = storage_path() . '/app/documents/' . $filename;
return Response::make(file_get_contents($path), 200, [
'Content-Type' => 'application/pdf',
'Content-Disposition' => 'inline; filename="'.$filename.'"'
]);
}
I tried also the following but same result:
public function show($filename)
{
$path = storage_path() . '/app/documents/' . $filename;
return response()->file($path);
}
But, when I call the link for a file, I have just this on the browser instead, without any extra info:
Cannot GET /api/documents/phpIEENXT.pdf
