In this post, I will show you how to get data from json file in laravel application.

We'll retrieve data from the storage and public folders using the Storage facade and file_get_contents function. Let's look at the examples below.

1. Read JSON File using file_get_contents()

First, you need to create json file on your public folder like this way:

public/data/info.json

{ "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com", "age": 30 } 

let's see the controller code and output:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; class StorageController extends Controller { /** * Write code on Method * * @return response() */ public function index(Request $request) { // Read the contents of the JSON file $json = file_get_contents(public_path('data/info.json')); // Decode JSON into an associative array $data = json_decode($json, true); return response()->json($data); } } 

You will see the ouput like this way:

{"name":"John Doe","email":"john@example.com","age":30}

2. Read JSON File using Storage Facade

First, you need to create json file on your storage folder folder like this way:

storage/app/public/data.json

{ "name": "John Doe", "email": "john@example.com", "age": 30 } 

let's see the controller code and output:

<?php namespace App\Http\Controllers; use Illuminate\Http\Request; use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Storage; class StorageController extends Controller { /** * Write code on Method * * @return response() */ public function index(Request $request) { // Read the contents of the JSON file $json = Storage::disk("public")->get('data.json'); // Decode JSON into an associative array $data = json_decode($json, true); return response()->json($data); } } 

You will see the ouput like this way:

{"name":"John Doe","email":"john@example.com","age":30}

I hope it can help you...
