Laravel Lumen file upload with full path

Question

I am uploading the file :

if ($request->hasFile('cnicFrontUrl')) {
    $picName = $request->file('cnicFrontUrl')->getClientOriginalName();
    $picName = base_path() . uniqid() . $picName;
    $destinationPath = "uploads/user_files/cnic";
    $request->file('cnicFrontUrl')->move($destinationPath, $picName);
    $userDetails->cnicFrontUrl = $picName;
}

The file moves to the project/public/uploads/user_files/cnic successfully,

But the filename which goes also to the database have the remote server directory path like /var/www/html/baseApi/5927bcb59ba4fcar.png

How can i be able to store the filename like https://example.com/public/uploads/user_files/cnic/5927bcb59ba4fcar.png so it can be use be only accessing the filename.

You could replace

$userDetails->cnicFrontUrl = $picName;

with

$userDetails->cnicFrontUrl = url("/public/uploads/user_files/cnic")."/".uniqid(). 
                                  $request->file('cnicFrontUrl')
                                          ->getClientOriginalName();

or

$userDetails->cnicFrontUrl = asset($destinationPath. "/" . uniqid() . 
                                   $request->file('cnicFrontUrl')
                                           ->getClientOriginalName());
