## The idea behind the example
2017-10-03 20:13:07 +00:00
This example shows how to enable the imports of assets (images, videos, etc.) and get a URL pointing to `/static` .
2017-09-08 21:21:06 +00:00
This is also configurable to point to a CDN changing the `baseUri` to the CDN domain, something similar to this:
```json
[
"transform-assets-import-to-string",
{
"baseDir": "/static",
"baseUri": "https://cdn.domain.com"
}
]
```
