rendering image in Backbone JST template

Question

I have images stored in my app/assets/images directory, and from my JST templates (rendered by my Backbone view) I am trying to figure out how to get the image asset path. src='assets/images/image.png' does not work. Any ideas?

Thanks

Answer 1

Are you using rails as your backend? Then in your template file it should be:

<img src="/assets/image">

The path to retrieve assets starts with /

Answer 2

You can try this:

var imgPath = 'app/assets/images/',
img = 'image.png',
tpl = _.template('<img src="<%- src %>">');

console.debug(tpl({ src:imgPath+img }));
