I'm looking for the right url to reference static assets, like images within Vue javascript.
For example, I'm creating a leaflet marker using a custom icon image, and I've tried several urls, but they all return a 404 (Not Found):
Main.vue:
var icon = L.icon({
iconUrl: './assets/img.png',
iconSize: [25, 25],
iconAnchor: [12, 12]
});
I've tried putting the images in the assets folder and the static folder with no luck. Do I have to tell vue to load those images somehow?
For anyone looking to refer images from template, You can refer images directly using '@'
Example:
<img src="@/assets/images/home.png"/>
In a Vue regular setup, /assets is not served.
The images become src="data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0K...YII=" strings, instead.
require()To get the images from JS code, use require('../assets.myImage.png'). The path must be relative (see below).
So your code would be:
var icon = L.icon({
iconUrl: require('./assets/img.png'), // was iconUrl: './assets/img.png',
// iconUrl: require('@/assets/img.png'), // use @ as alternative, depending on the path
// ...
});
For example, say you have the following folder structure:
- src
+- assets
- myImage.png
+- components
- MyComponent.vue
If you want to reference the image in MyComponent.vue, the path sould be ../assets/myImage.png
Here's a DEMO CODESANDBOX showing it in action.
Adding some good practices and safity to @acdcjunior's answer, to use @ instead of ./
In JavaScript
require("@/assets/images/user-img-placeholder.png")
In JSX Template
<img src="@/assets/images/user-img-placeholder.png"/>
using @ points to the src directory.
using ~ points to the project root, which makes it easier to access the node_modules and other root level resources
