How to load image (and other assets) in Angular an project?

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 :

• 'my-image-name.png' should be 'myImageName.png'
• 'my image name.png' should be 'myImageName.png'

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.

Being specific to Angular2 to 5, we can bind image path using property binding as below. Image path is enclosed by the single quotation marks.

Sample example

<img [src]="'assets/img/klogo.png'" alt="image">
