Load assets of extension

[LukasHirt]

At the moment we load only the js bundle of extension. We need to be able to also load assets in case there are any (e. g. images)

[LukasHirt]

Possible solution - use import.meta.url which returns URL where the module is located and access assets with that URL. This is not supported in Edge. Seems that polyfill already exists though https://www.npmjs.com/package/es-module-shims

So the next tasks are:

• [ ] Test loading assets with this solution
• [ ] Test polyfill for Edge
• [ ] Document it so it's available for extensions developers.

Using import.meta.url might have become much easier as we're switching to native modules in https://github.com/owncloud/web/pull/7952

Is this issue still relevant given the progress that has been achieved in the overall project and extension system?

[dschmidt]

import.meta.url can be used as @LukasHirt pointed out.

Since it's already in use - closing
