Path

The path method returns the actual path of an attachment file. Call it without any arguments to retrieve the path of the original file. Pass a style name as an argument to retrieve the path of a specific style.

Original file

$model->attachment('file')->path();

Particular style

$model->attachment('file')->path('cover');

You can use any generated style name.

$model->attachment('file')->path('thumbnail');
$model->attachment('file')->path('cover');

Use path() when you need the local file path for server-side processing.

Use url() when you need a public link to the file.
