When I want to add a property to a custom component where the file is located in the resource folder (for example, an image), how do I reference the resource folder in my template code?

I believe I saw it mentioned in one of the videos, but I can’t seem to find it right now.

You can’t link directly to the Resources in a project - you should use [the Resource control](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-language/properties.json/ui-controls/resource) for that 🙂

Hey @Bartje,

You can include resources (like images, fonts, and .js files) in your Dev Pack if you need them for a component, otherwise use the resource control.

Let us know what you’re aiming to do and we can help you work out the best way to do it ☺

Cheers!

The resource control was the solution. At first, it didn’t work. I must have done something wrong because now it works perfectly. “It works like magic,” as Steve J. would say! 🪄

Ah, that’s perfect - Glad you got it sorted!
