Laravel location of created files

I'm attempting to modify a text file stored on the server using Larvel's File::put(filelocation,filecontents)

but I can't figure out what location this is relative to on the server. If I have a file "somestuff.json" within my LaravelApp/public folder, what location string do I use for a parameter to File::put() ?

File name for File::methods() is not relative you have to give the full file path:

File::put('/var/www/LaravelApp/public/somestuff.json', $filecontents);

But Laravel has some helpers to help you with this:

File::put(public_path().'/somestuff.json', $filecontents);

Also:

base_path(); // the base of your application LaravelApp/

app_path(); // Your LaravelApp/app

They are all in the file vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Support/helpers.php.
