tried at appComponent

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

none of this work.

hosting settings at firebase.json

"hosting": {
"public": "dist",
"ignore": [
  "firebase.json",
  "**/.*",
  "**/node_modules/**"
],
"rewrites": [
  {
    "source": "**",
    "destination": "/index.html"
  }
]

}

Are there some trick on the firebase? rewrites? someone can help me!

Answer 1

Images loading now from assets in angular 6.1.3 after firebase deploy! Found the solution finally, well it works for me. The issue is the tsconfig.json change:

"outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",

to:

"outDir": "./dist",

Answer 2

I had the same problem with static assets after deploying to Firebase hosting, even though they worked fine when serving from localhost. I had to change from
<img src="/src/assets/img/pricing_comparison.PNG"> to
<img src="/assets/img/pricing_comparison.PNG">.

(p.s. I tried changing my tsconfig.json file according to the accepted answer, but this didn't change or resolve my error)

Answer 3

I also had the same issue. Here is the solution i tried

1. Open tsconfig.json change:

   "outDir": "./dist/out-tsc",

   to:

   "outDir": "./dist"

2. Open angular.json. make sure assets configurations are as like below

       "assets": [
          "src/favicon.ico",
          "src/assets"
        ],

3. Change in img tag <br> src="/src/assets/img/pricing_comparison.PNG" to <br> src="/assets/img/pricing_comparison.PNG".
