Cannot provide correct path to image in view inside of Yii2 module. Script and styles are loaded correctly.

module structure:

|-assets
|  ↳Asset.php
|-controllers
|-models
|-public
| |-css
| |  ↳styles.css
| |-js
| |  ↳script.js
| |-img
|    ↳image.gif
|-views
|  ↳view.php
|-Module.php

Asset.php:

class Asset extends AssetBundle {
    public $sourcePath = '@app/modules/scrapy/public';
    public $css = ['css/styles.css'];
    public $js = ['js/scrapy.js'];
}

fragment of Module.php:

public function init() {
    parent::init();
    $this->setAliases([
        '@modulename' => '@app/modules/module',
    ]);
}

public function getViewPath() {
    return '@modulename/views/';
}

  • Looks like your assets are published to a web accessible place, so the path to them is generated. To get the current one you need to go through `assetManager` component. – Bizley Jun 04 '20 at 10:06

In your view file register the module asset:

<?php
// include module asset class
use app\modules\mycoolmodule\assets\Asset;

// register module asset in view and store it to a variable
$myAssetBundle = Asset::register($this);
?>

Now to access the image from img asset folder:

<img src="<?= $myAssetBundle->baseUrl . '/img/image.gif'; ?>" alt="image" />

So what you want is $myAssetBundle->baseUrl dynamic url of your asset bundle.

PS: There are differences between app assets and module|widgets assets: https://github.com/yiisoft/yii2/issues/3048
