Importing images was always a pain in the neck 👔 especially importing them with long paths in multiple lines, so I searched 🔎 a lot to find the best ones and then tested them to ensure, they were the best to use in daily projects 👍. So after spending hours 🕝 using it on different projects, I finally discover the answer for daily usage. 😀
certainly, it's not the best answer for use in different projects, so I will create posts for each situation soon.
without any interrupting let's get into it. ✍️
Make Index file
In the public folder create a new file index.js, or index.tsx, or any folder you want to export its existing images.
there are lots of third packages, which you can use to import, but I prefer to import them manually! lightness.
Import/Export Images
then export them like below:
Import In React Components
and instead of importing images with long paths, now you import them like below:
SVGs
You can also make file SVGs, and return SVG elements like react components.
Conclusion
It may not be the best for specific projects ⚠️, but for regular react projects is OK.
If you know a better way than this one 🕵️. please 🙏 comment it 💭 below to let others and I know 👍.

Great article, you got my follow, keep writing!
Thank you, 😍🥰🙏
Great article..
I don't understand looking at how you exported and then imported. You exported image.png. Then you imported Image1 and Image 2 from an icons folder? But you made an index file in the public folder. When did you make an icons folder?
Thanks 💙
