Laravel url() function returns public two times

Question

I am using Laravel url() function to get website base url, but it returns public two times I don't know where I am doing wrong? Any help would be highly appreciated.

Here is my code.

 <link rel='stylesheet'
        href='{{ url('/') }}/js/background-check.min.js' type='text/css'
        media='all' />

Here is the output I get: https://www.example.com/public/public/js/background-check.min.js

It should look like this: https://www.example.com/public/js/background-check.min.js

you need to not include public folder in the url , to do that if you are using Apache create .htaccess file in your root like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/public/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /public/$1 [L,QSA]

if you are using Nginx you can look at the following Nginx config:

server {
    listen 80;
    listen [::]:80;
    

    root /var/www/html/quickstart/public;
    index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;

    server_name example.com www.example.com;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

}
