Answer 1

You can use Eloquent Accessor
add the image url attribute in Rav.php Model like below. then you can access it any place.
public function getImageUrlAttribute($value)
{
return env('APP_URL'). '/images_ravs/' . $this->image;
}
And don't forget to Add Appends property inside the Model
/**
* The accessors to append to the model's array form.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $appends = ['image_url'];
then you can access it like below.
$rav->image_url

Answer 2

Define An Accessor in your model like this example :
public function getImageAttribute($value)
{
return env('APP_URL') . Storage::url($value);
}

Answer 3

Try this:
public function index(){
$rav = Rav::select('id','image','nameravs')->get('image');
return $this->sendResponse(
[
'id' => $rav->id,
'image' => URL::to('/').'/images_ravs/'.rav->image,
'nameravs' => $rev->nameravs
],'rav show is succesfuly');
}

Answer 4

You can use selectRaw or select with DB::raw and just concat that path as a prepended string infront of your image column in your query:
Rav::select(DB::raw("id, nameravs, CONCAT('/images_ravs/', image) as image"))->get()->toArray();
No need to include the URL (unless for some reason you have some type of CDN in front of it) in which case you can just escape the string and add it if necessary.

Answer 5

I would do something like this: Try to use as many od Laravel's built-in functions as possible. In most cases you don't need to reinvent the wheel.
public function index(){
$ravs = Rav::select('id','image','nameravs')->get();
$results = [];
foreach($ravs as $rav){
$rav->image = env('APP_URL') . '/images_ravs/' . $rav->image;
array_push($results, $rav);
}
return response()->json($results);
}

Answer 6

In the Model you can create getAttribute:
public function getImageAttribute()
{
return $this->attributes['image'] ? URL::to('/uploads/' . $this->attributes['image']) : null;
}
Or you can create custom casts file:
protected $casts = [
'image' => ImageCast::class,
'created_at' => 'datetime',
'updated_at' => 'datetime',
];
