Asset Directive

The asset directive allows you to reference a file relative to the current file.

Basically, it returns the path to the file, but more importantly it tells the compiler that an asset is used.

During the build process the assets are bundled along with the generated files.

For example, given this file structure:

my-app
├── images
│   └── some-image.jpg
├── source
│   └── Main.mint
└── mint.json

This component references the some-image.jpg from the images folder.

component Main {
  fun render : Html {
    <img src={@asset(../images/some-image.jpg)}/>
  }
}

During the build process the asset will be put into the `dist/assets` directory and the image tag will point to that image.
