Assets

Overview

Assets are files bundled and deployed with a Flet application, accessible at runtime. Common types include static data (JSON), configuration files, icons, images, and videos.

Configuration

**assets_dir parameter in ft.run()**: Specifies the directory containing local assets.

* Defaults to "assets". * Can be an absolute path or relative to the app's entry point.

Usage

Assets are accessed using relative paths within Flet controls.

The src property of controls like ft.Image should point to the asset's path relative to the assets_dir.

Example: Displaying a Local Image

**Directory Structure:**

assets/
└── images/
    └── sample.png
main.py

**Python Code:**

import flet as ft
def main(page: ft.Page):
    page.add(
        ft.Image(src="images/sample.png")
    )
ft.run(main, assets_dir="assets")

This approach is applicable to other asset types such as fonts, Lottie animations, and Rive files.
