What's Changed
Fix: HACS 404 errors for card images
HACS only distributes the single JS file specified in hacs.json — it does not copy the assets/ folder. This caused 404 errors for all card images (car-1.png, car-2.png, garage-door-closed.png, garage-base.png) on every HACS installation.
All default images are now embedded directly in garage-card.js as base64 data URIs. The card works immediately after install — no manual file copying needed.
Fix: Existing configs still requesting external files (v1.4.1)
Existing user configs had assets_path: '/local/garage-card/assets' saved from the old default. The card now ignores this legacy default and uses the embedded images instead.
New: assets_path config option
Users who want to use custom images (their own garage, cars, or a 3rd car) can set assets_path in the card config to load images from a custom folder instead of the built-in defaults. This option is also available in the visual editor.
type: custom:garage-card
name: Garage
door_entity: cover.garage_door
assets_path: /local/my-custom-garage/assetsUpgrading
No action needed — just update via HACS and the card will use the embedded images automatically. You do not need to edit your existing card config. If you previously copied the assets/ folder manually, you can delete it (unless you customized the images, in which case set assets_path to a different path to keep using them).
