Should I store assets path in static variable?-CodePudding

For example, I want to get Image logo.gif

Image.asset('images/logo.gif')

Should I do it like above or create new file to store static constant like below?

In assets_path.dart

class imagePath {
  static const imageFolder = 'assets/images/';
  static const logo = imageFolder   'logo.gif';
  //...and others images path
}

When use

import './assets_path.dart';
Image.asset(imagePath.logo)

Yes!! Highly recommended as literal strings are easy to mispell. So if you have multiple occurrences of the same file, the chances to accidentally mess up increases, so just create a static const variable inside a class called something like AppAssets for all file paths of all assets used in the application. I do this for my apps. Also nothing is preventing you from doing the same for colors and styles, like AppColors and AppStyles

If you need that asset path in several places, then yes, it is a good idea to store that information in one place and use the symbolic name wherever needed.

Certain types of changes to the application then become much easier and safer.

I consider it generally a good idea to replace literal constants with a meaningful name.
