Localhost doesn't display img but index.html does - html

Question

i have a problem with at localhost. I use gulp server for my project and i want to display img but when i use localhost it doesn't display but when i open my index.html file it works fine
<img src="src/img/logo.png" alt="Logo">
I can't find a good src to display it. How it should looks like?
edit:
my gulpfile is:
const gulp = require("gulp");
const sass = require("gulp-sass");
const sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
var connect = require('gulp-connect');
gulp.task('connect', function(cb) {
connect.server({
root: './dist',
livereload: true
});
cb();
});
gulp.task("sass", function() {
return gulp.src('./src/scss/main.scss')
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(sass({errLogToConsole: true}))
.pipe(sourcemaps.write())
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/css'))
.pipe(connect.reload());
});
gulp.task('html', function () {
return gulp.src('./src/*.html')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'))
.pipe(connect.reload());;
});
gulp.task('watch', function () {
gulp.watch('./src/scss/**/*.scss', gulp.series('sass'));
gulp.watch('./src/**/*.html', gulp.series('html'));
});
gulp.task('default', gulp.series('connect', 'watch'));

Answer 1

Based on your gulp configuration your HTML files from src are moved (Part 1) into your ./dist/ folder and then served from there (Part 2). So move your index.html into src and remove it from the img tag.
Moving HTML to dist folder (Part 1):
gulp.task('html', function () {
return gulp.src('./src/*.html')
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist'))
.pipe(connect.reload());;
});
Gulp server on dist folder (Part 2):
gulp.task('connect', function(cb) {
connect.server({
root: './dist',
livereload: true
});
cb();
});
So what you need is either a task that moves your images as well or the easy way:
Create a img folder in dist containing the image and change the path in your index.html as follows:
<img src="img/logo.png" alt="Logo">
I would recommend to change your gulp config, so it serves from your src folder for development and create a second task for a build process (Including minify css, js and moving the files). I just add a config that i used some time ago:
var gulp = require('gulp');
var sass = require('gulp-sass');
var browsersync = require("browser-sync").create();
var babel = require('gulp-babel');
var sourcemaps = require('gulp-sourcemaps');
var concat = require('gulp-concat');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var plumber = require('gulp-plumber');
var cssnano = require('gulp-cssnano');
var imagemin = require('gulp-imagemin');
var cache = require('gulp-cache');
var del = require('del');
var rev = require('gulp-rev');
var revdel = require('rev-del');
var collect = require('gulp-rev-collector');
// Development Tasks
// -----------------
// BrowserSync
function browserSync(done) {
browsersync.init({
server: {
baseDir: "./src/"
},
port: 3000
});
done();
}
// BrowserSync Reload
function browserSyncReload(done) {
browsersync.reload();
done();
}
// Watchers
function watchFiles(){
gulp.watch('src/scss/**/*.scss', gulp.series('sassify', browserSyncReload));
gulp.watch('src/*.html', gulp.series(browserSyncReload));
gulp.watch('src/js/**/*.js', gulp.series(browserSyncReload));
}
// Optimization Tasks
// ------------------
// Sassify
gulp.task('sassify', (cb) => {
gulp.src('src/scss/**/*.scss') // Gets all files ending with .scss in src/scss and children dirs
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(sass()) // Passes it through a gulp-sass, log errors to console
.pipe(gulp.dest('src/css')) // Outputs it in the css folder
.pipe(browsersync.stream());
cb();
});
// Optimizing CSS
gulp.task('css', (done) => {
gulp.src('src/css/*.css')
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(cssnano())
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css'));
done();
});
// Optimizing JS
gulp.task('js', (cb) => {
gulp.src('src/js/*.js')
.pipe(plumber())
.pipe(sourcemaps.init())
.pipe(babel({
presets: ['#babel/env']
}))
.pipe(uglify())
.pipe(sourcemaps.write('.'))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/js'));
cb();
});
// HTML
gulp.task('html', (cb) => {
gulp.src('src/*.html')
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
cb();
});
// Optimizing Images
gulp.task('images', function(done) {
gulp.src('src/assets/**/*.+(png|jpg|jpeg|gif|svg)')
// Caching images that ran through imagemin
.pipe(cache(imagemin({
interlaced: true,
})))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/assets'))
done();
});
// Generate Revisions...
gulp.task('revision:rename', function(){
gulp.src(["dist/**/*.css",
"dist/**/*.js"])
.pipe(rev())
.pipe(revdel())
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
.pipe(rev.manifest({ path: 'manifest.json' }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
});
// update references
gulp.task('revision:updateReferences', function(){
gulp.src(['dist/manifest.json','dist/**/*.{html,json,css,js}'])
.pipe(collect())
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist'))
});
// Cleaning
gulp.task('clean', function() {
return del.sync('dist').then(function(cb) {
return cache.clearAll(cb);
});
})
gulp.task('clean:dist', (cb) => {
del.sync(['dist/**/*', '!dist/assets', '!dist/assets/**/*']);
cb();
});
// Build Sequences
// ---------------
gulp.task('default',
gulp.series(
'sassify',
gulp.parallel(
watchFiles,
browserSync
)
)
);
gulp.task('build',
gulp.series(
'clean:dist',
'sassify',
gulp.parallel(
'css',
'js',
'images'
),
'html'
)
);
