## The idea behind the example

This example shows how to enable the imports of assets (images, videos, etc.) and get a URL pointing to `/static`.

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"
  }
]
```
