Blade: how to get path for image asset?

[spaceageliving]

What is the correct way to retrieve the path for an image asset in a blade template? The image asset is injected into the view as I can dump it and see it in debugbar, but I cannot for the life of me get the path of the image in my blade template.

Hey @spaceageliving,

Use the $page variable that gets passed into the view.

So it should look something like this:

{{ $page->hero_image->url }}

More on this in the docs.

Hope that helps :)

OK I changed the yaml on the blueprint to:

Deleted the image from the entry, reselected the image using Browse button.

Still getting the property not present.

Oddly, the control panel won't save the change to max_files to the yaml....and after I added manually to the yaml file, the control panel still doesn't show the value. Not sure what is up there...

I also ran php please stache:clear...no help.

What if you change the array in the data to a string?

eg.

main_image:
  - image.jpg

to

main_image: image.jpg

OK awesome this works! Thanks again @jasonvarga. Just a note for future travelers, I initially put max_items: 1, but for image asset, the yaml needs to be:

max_files: 1

[jasonvarga]

Ah yes max_files for assets fields. I think that should have been enough without you needing to change the data like my last comment.

You had it correct the first time as max_files, it was my mistake.
