Set Image path on ASP.NET Core + Angular 2 template for Visual Studio

I need to add a static image as shown below.Can you tell me why I cannot show the image on home page as shown below ? i.e. It's not working.

Here I'm using this ASP.NET Core Template Pack

Here is nice article about it from Steven Sanderson

enter image description here

\home\home.component.html

<img src="{{heroImageUrl}}" style="height:30px">

home.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'home',
    template: require('./home.component.html')
})
export class HomeComponent {

    public heroImageUrl ="./image/employee_management.jpg";
}

Error :

it says like this Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found).May be a path issue.how can I give it correctly ? Image is there as shown above.

Since you're using Webpack to bundle these files, you just need to use require. Change your TypeScript code to this:

public heroImageUrl = require("./image/employee_management.jpg");

... and you're done. Your existing Webpack configuration is already set up to bundle .jpg files using file-loader, so the require call will return the URL of the bundled image.

Note: The OP didn't mention, but they are using the ASP.NET Core + Angular 2 template here, which has Webpack all set up already. Therefore this ends up being a a Webpack question, not an Angular question, so the question title is misleading.

Include image folder in angular-cli.json under assets node like below

 "assets": [
        "assets",
        "favicon.ico",
        "fonts",
        "images"
      ],

you should use

<img [attr.src]="heroImageUrl" style="height:30px">

or 

<img attr.src="{{heroImageUrl}}" style="height:30px">

also make sure path should be relative.

Angular by default uses property binding. To tell Angular explicitly to use attribute binding.

Depending on what your setup is, you probably have to place the static data files in a ressource/assets folder.

My setup places the root of my site in /src. I place angular files in the subfolder /src/app and if i want to link to images i place those in a subfolder of src called /src/assets. When linking those images, i simply write the path as if /src is the root, so linking to an image called employee_management.jpg would be in

'assets/employee_management.jpg'

I use the Angular CLI btw, which uses webpack to bundle it all.

Two things to note, first use brackets for the src property:

<img [src]="heroImageUrl " />

Second, make sure the url of the image is relative to the url of the route that is used to display the component. Because this is generally not a great thing to do, I'd recommend making the url absolute from the root of the application:

public heroImageUrl ="/ClientApp/app/components/home/image/employee_management.jpg";

And then better yet, place it in a common location like /images/employee_management.jpg
