Display image from Laravel application public folder path to jQuery data table

Question

I am trying to render image from public folder to the DataTable, where the image information like path are stored in database. When I hard code the image information, the image is rendered. But when I make it dynamic it does not appear.

I took the reference from Display images from Database in Datatables using jQuery for a Laravel app but it's not working for me.

My ajax code,

var table = $('.data-table').DataTable({
            processing: true,
            serverSide: true,
            ajax: "{{ route('students.index') }}",
            columns: [{
                    data: 'DT_RowIndex',
                    name: 'DT_RowIndex'
                },
                {
                    data: 'name',
                    name: 'name'
                },
                {
                    data: 'image',
                    name: 'image',
                    "render": function (data) {
                    return '<img src="{{ asset("images/' +data+'") }}" />' }
                },
                {
                    data: 'action',
                    name: 'action',
                    orderable: false,
                    searchable: false
                },
            ]
        });

In browser, when I inspect the img tag it shows::

<img src="http://127.0.0.1:8000/images/' +data+'">

When I hard code the image name, it's showing the image.

{
                    data: 'image',
                    name: 'image',
                    "render": function (data) {
                    return '<img src="{{ asset("images/9867543cu4R.jpg") }}" />' }
                },

How to solve this issue?

You could try: return '<img src="{{ asset("images/") }}'+data+'" />'. — KIKO Software

I have solved the problem with this: return '<img src="images/'+data+'">' }, its loading the dynamic images from the database but now how to do it using asset function. — user4221591

You're just combining your server-side and client-side code incorrectly.

Do this instead:

"render": function (data) {
    return '<img src="{{ asset("images/") }}' + data + '" />';
}

Just in your controller use addColumn (as you've mentioned in the reference):

//Previous codes...
->addColumn('image', function($row){
    return public_path('/images/' + $file_name);
})
//The rest of code codes...

Then in your js file:

//Previous codes...
,{
    data: 'image',
    name: 'image',
    "render": function (data) {
    return '<img src="'+ data.image +'" />' }
},
//The rest of code codes...
