Copying & Referencing Images with Webpack Encore
================================================
Need to reference a static file - like the path to an image for an ``img`` tag?
That can be tricky if you store your assets outside of the public document root.
Fortunately, depending on your situation, there is a solution!
Referencing Images from Inside a Webpacked JavaScript File
----------------------------------------------------------
To reference an image tag from inside a JavaScript file, *require* the file:
.. code-block:: javascript
// assets/app.js
// returns the final, public path to this file
// path is relative to this file - e.g. assets/images/logo.png
import logoPath from '../images/logo.png';
let html = `<img src="${logoPath}" alt="ACME logo">`;
When you ``require`` (or ``import``) an image file, Webpack copies it into your
output directory and returns the final, *public* path to that file.
Referencing Image files from a Template
---------------------------------------
To reference an image file from outside of a JavaScript file that's processed by
Webpack - like a template - you can use the ``copyFiles()`` method to copy those
files into your final output directory. First enable it in ``webpack.config.js``:
.. code-block:: diff
// webpack.config.js
Encore
// ...
.setOutputPath('public/build/')
+ .copyFiles({
+ from: './assets/images',
+
+ // optional target path, relative to the output dir
+ to: 'images/[path][name].[ext]',
+
+ // if versioning is enabled, add the file hash too
+ //to: 'images/[path][name].[hash:8].[ext]',
+
+ // only copy files matching this pattern
+ //pattern: /\.(png|jpg|jpeg)$/
+ })
Then restart Encore. When you do, it will give you a command you can run to
install any missing dependencies. After running that command and restarting
Encore, you're done!
This will copy all files from ``assets/images`` into ``public/build/images``.
If you have :doc:`versioning enabled </frontend/encore/versioning>`, the copied files will
include a hash based on their content.
To render inside Twig, use the ``asset()`` function:
.. code-block:: html+twig
{# assets/images/logo.png was copied to public/build/images/logo.png #}
<img src="{{ asset('build/images/logo.png') }}" alt="ACME logo">
{# assets/images/subdir/logo.png was copied to public/build/images/subdir/logo.png #}
<img src="{{ asset('build/images/subdir/logo.png') }}" alt="ACME logo">
Make sure you've enabled the :ref:`json_manifest_path <load-manifest-files>` option,
which tells the ``asset()`` function to read the final paths from the ``manifest.json``
file. If you're not sure what path argument to pass to the ``asset()`` function,
find the file in ``manifest.json`` and use the *key* as the argument.
