I'm pretty new to Angular so I'm not sure the best practice to do this.
I used angular-cli and ng new some-project to generate a new app.
In it created an "images" folder in the "assets" folder, so now my images folder is src/assets/images
In app.component.html (which is the root of my application), I put
<img class="img-responsive" src="assets/images/myimage.png">
When I do ng serve to view my web application, the image does not display.
What is the best practice to load up images in an Angular application?
EDIT: See answer below. My actual image name was using spaces, which Angular did not like. When I removed the spaces in the file name, the image displayed correctly.
In my project I am using the following syntax in my app.component.html:
<img src="/assets/img/1.jpg" alt="image">
or
<img src='http://mruanova.com/img/1.jpg' alt='image'>
use [src] as a template expression when you are binding a property using interpolation:
<img [src]="imagePath" />
is the same as:
<img src={{imagePath}} />
I fixed it. My actual image file name had spaces in it, and for whatever reason Angular did not like that. When I removed the spaces from my file name, assets/images/myimage.png worked.
Angular-cli includes the assets folder in the build options by default. I got this issue when the name of my images had spaces or dashes. For example :
If you put the image in the assets/img folder, then this line of code should work in your templates :
<img alt="My image name" src="./assets/img/myImageName.png">
If the issue persist just check if your Angular-cli config file and be sure that your assets folder is added in the build options.
