How to Use Source Images Dynamically in Vue.js
In the world of web development, managing images effectively is essential for creating visually appealing applications. When working with Vue.js, developers often encounter challenges in dynamically loading images. In this blog, we will explore a common problem related to dynamically using source images in Vue.js and provide insights into a solution that may help you overcome similar hurdles.
The Problem
A developer faced an issue while trying to pass an object with an image property to a Vue component. Despite several attempts and thorough searches online for solutions, the images wouldn’t load correctly. Here’s a summary of the scenario:
Using v-for: The developer was utilizing a v-for loop to iterate through an array of representative objects, each containing an image property.
Image Location: The images were placed in the public folder, which should theoretically allow them to load without complications when referenced properly.
Accessing Images: The developer was setting the image source during the component's mounted lifecycle, but encountered a 404 error indicating that the image could not be found.
Here's a simplified version of the code snippet where the issue occurred:

In the Representante component, image loading was supposedly done as follows:

This setup should work, but only the image’s alt text was visible, leading to frustration.
Understanding the Solution
After investigating the problem, the developer found a workaround that involved hosting the images on a remote repository to obtain URLs directly. While this solution worked, it prompted a deeper inquiry into how Vue.js handles local images.
Why Use a Remote Repository?
URL Access: When images are stored in a remote repository, they can be accessed using complete URLs, which eliminates the common path-related issues.
Avoiding Local Restrictions: Sometimes local setups (like running the app using localhost) can create restrictions that prevent images in the local file system from being accessed correctly.
Tips for Using Local Images in Vue.js
If you'd prefer to keep your images local, consider the following tips:
Check File Paths: Ensure the path for the image is correct. When images are stored in the public directory, they should be accessed using /nameOfImage.jpeg if they are in the root of the public folder.
Use the require() function: For images in the src/assets directory, you can use the require() function like so:

CORS Issues: Sometimes, you may encounter Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS) policies that affect loading images from certain locations. Ensure your server is configured to allow image loading from your Vue app.
Development Environment: If you're running a local server (like localhost:8080), ensure that your files are correctly being served. Sometimes you need to rebuild or restart your development server to reflect new changes.
Final Thoughts
While the workaround of using remote URLs resolved the image loading issue, it's essential to understand how Vue.js processes and serves images. By adhering to path conventions and considering alternative methods for loading local images, developers can overcome common pitfalls.
In your practice with Vue.js, always remember to verify the source paths and utilize the right techniques for managing images, so your app can properly display the media assets it needs.
