In this blog post, we’ve shown you how to get the path to your Laravel application root path directory. If you need to get the path from anywhere in your application, you can use the Laravel public_path() helper function. If you need to get the path to your application’s storage directory, you can use the storage_path() helper function. These are just a few of the ways you can get the path to your Laravel application’s root directory.
Laravel has helpers to get the path of root folder, public folder, assets folder, storage folder, app folder.
To get the path of root application folder we can use base_path() function in laravel which gives the path of root folder in laravel project.
base_path();
//we can pass parameters to base_path function
base_path("app/Http/Controllers");Output will be:
var/www/html/app/Http/Controllers

storage_path();
//we can pass parameters to storage_path() function
storage_path("app");Output will be:
var/www/html/storage/app
To get the path of app folder in laravel we can user app_path() function which gives path of app folder.
