ionic2 - Where do Images go in IONIC 2

Question

I am just getting started with Ionic 2. I have created an img file in app inside it is a file logo.png. So I have created the following code:

css:

.getting-started {

  .logo {
      background-image: url(./img/logo.png);
  }
}

html:

  <ion-col offset-33 width-33 class="logo"><h1>Logo</h1></ion-col>
  <h3>Welcome to your first Ionic app!</h3>

</ion-content>

I know the css is working, as if I toggle the background color, I get the expected results. However, I don't get any background image, just the Logo text specified. Where should I have put the image file?

Answer 1

EDIT: As of Ionic 2 RC 0, the correct place to put your images is in src/assets/img/ and the correct code to reference the image is <img src="assets/img/myImg.png">. Please see Ionic's change log for RC0 (specifically #28).

As of right now, using the official Drifty Co. Ionic 2 Conference App as a reference, images should be placed inside of the www/ directory.

In my current Ionic 2 app, an image is located at www/img/logo.png and it is referenced in app/pages/page_name/page_name.html as <img src='img/logo.png'> and it works like a charm.

Currently using:

• ionic-angular v2.0.0-beta.6 (package.json)
• ionic-native ^1.1.0 (package.json)
• ionic-cli v 2.0.0-beta.25 (installed CLI)
