## The idea behind the example

This example shows how to import images, videos, etc. from `/static` and get the URL with a hash query allowing to use better cache without problems.

This example supports `.svg`, `.png` and `.txt` extensions, but it can be configured to support any possible extension changing the `extensions` array in the `next.config.js` [file](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/blob/canary/examples/with-hashed-statics/next.config.js#L4).
