How to load image (and other assets) in Angular an project?

I fixed it. My actual image file name had spaces in it, and for whatever reason Angular did not like that. When I removed the spaces from my file name, assets/images/myimage.png worked.

In my project I am using the following syntax in my app.component.html:

<img src="/assets/img/1.jpg" alt="image">

or

<img src='http://mruanova.com/img/1.jpg' alt='image'>

use [src] as a template expression when you are binding a property using interpolation:

<img [src]="imagePath" />

is the same as:

<img src={{imagePath}} />
