[Feature] Asset Provider

[hopeman15]

name: Asset Provider
about: A crazy first approach for accessible assets 😅
label: 'WIP'

---

Description

This is just an idea to handle assets in a more accessible way. There are a few things that I still don't like, such as passing the android context around. I did limit this as best as possible and would work to eliminate it altogether so that one can access the assets without it. ChaiImage.DCKE_MAIN vs. ChaiImage.DCKE_MAIN(ctx).

⚠️ I didn't want to spend too much more time on this if this isn't a viable solution or something we want to pursue further.

Anyway, let me know what you think 🙌 Let's discuss this one 🤓

You can test it in a few ways:

• Run the tests 🧪
• Run ChaiDemo, here you can see the idea in action 🚀

I'd extend this message to say which asset folder:

• Image
• Icon
• etc.

I want to add support for other asset types, using generics to reduce the amount of redundancy in creating a bunch of new functions

@hopeman15 are we merging this or leaving a WIP tag on it for a future reWork?

@tamzi So this isn't done 🙈 I wanted your feedback first to decide whether or not it makes sense to pursue this. Is this what you were thinking, or doe this go in a completely different direction?
