Storage_path returning path without slashes in laravel

I want to get the path to the Storage funtion in laravel and read it in javascript,

The way I try to do this is :

var storagePath="<?php echo storage_path(); ?>";
console.log('StoragePath ',storagePath);

But this logs out a path like this :

StoragePath  C:wampwwwd3projectFirststorage

I do need the slashes but seems like 'storage_page()' trims them , not sure if this is a security thing,can I still read the path to the folder using the string above or get the slashes untrimmed?
