Sometimes we need to get access of the files on the storefront so we need to copy the required files in pub directory. Today we will learn how to copy module’s files such as images, text etc to media directory. You can use the following code in Helper, Controller or Patch etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We will follow the following module https:\/\/webkul.com\/blog\/create-hello-module-in-magento2\/<\/a> for the reference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
