Generating an HTML Image Element

Problem

You want to add an image to your Blade template.

Instead of simply using the <img...> HTML tag, you want to use the HTML facade.

Solution

Use the HTML::image() method.

The only required argument is the path to the image.

Which produces the following HTML.

If the image path you pass isn’t a complete URL, Laravel will use your application’s URL to build a complete URL.

You can add the alt attribute with the second argument.

Now the HTML will look like the following.

The third argument, if used, must be an array. It contains additional attributes to add to the img tag.

Now the HTML contains a class attribute.
