To access a package file from a Laravel controller, you can use the Storage facade that Laravel provides. Here's how you can access a file stored in a package from a controller:

  1. Use the Storage facade to access the file. First, make sure you have included the Storage facade at the top of your controller:
1
use IlluminateSupportFacadesStorage;


  1. Once you have included the Storage facade, you can use the get() method to retrieve the contents of the file. You will need to provide the path to the file within the package. For example, if the file is located in vendor/package-name/file.txt, you can access it like this:
1
2
3
4
5
public function getFile()
{
    $contents = Storage::get('vendor/package-name/file.txt');
    return response()->json(['contents' => $contents]);
}


  1. You can then return the contents of the file as a response from your controller. In the example above, we are returning the contents of the file as a JSON response. You can modify this to suit your needs.


By using the Storage facade, you can easily access files stored in packages within your Laravel application.
