How to use the assets directory?

[DenuxPlays]

Hello,

I try to use a picture from the asset directory.
Do I have to "import" it or something like that because /picture.svg doesn't work.
The image can be found in target/site but I cannot access it.
The favicon can be loaded but my image not.

This kind of depends on how your server is set up exactly.

The cargo-leptos docs say:

# Assets source dir. All files found here will be copied and synchronized to site-root.
assets-dir = "assets"

This means that whatever is in the assets directory will be copied to the site-root -- in the default case, target/site.

Then the server can be set up to server static files from that directory. For example, if I look at the Actix starter template, it serves this site-root directory at /assets:

        App::new()
            .route("/api/{tail:.*}", leptos_actix::handle_server_fns())
            // serve JS/WASM/CSS from `pkg`
            .service(Files::new("/pkg", format!("{site_root}/pkg")))
            // serve other assets from the `assets` directory
            .service(Files::new("/assets", site_root))

So I can access a static file foo.txt in assets at /assets/foo.txt
