browse under folders and files of a folder on laravel

Hi all i am on laravel 7. I want to navigate through the folders and see their contents (subfolders and documents). To do this I used the following

    $directories = Storage::directories($path);
 
    $directories = Storage::files($path);

Here I will have two loops: one which will browse the documents and the other which will browse the folders.

I would like to have a way to travel the path in question and determine if I have a document or a folder.

thank you in advance

Answer

For Laravel 5.0 +, can use $storage_path = storage_path().

storage_path Get the fully qualified path to the storage directory.

You may also use the storage_path function to generate a fully qualified path to a given file relative to the storage directory:

$path = storage_path('app/file.txt');
