GWT Angular supports the inclusion of GWT's ImageResource into the HTML views via a directive, data-gwt-image-resource. Unlike simply setting the <IMG> src attribute, by using the ImageResource, the image files you include in your page become cache safe, in a sense that its cache header in HTTP response can be set to indefinitely cache the file in the browser, much like any other resources.

View

The directive, data-gwt-image-resource takes an Angular variables, STREET, WTC, BOAT, and PEOPLE. These variables are bound to the controller via Angular scope to ImageResource objects.



  

Controller

The controller for the view declares the variables, STREET, WTC, BOAT, and PEOPLE. They are declared as public final so that GWT Angular's automatic binding takes care of the binding of these values to Angular's scope. The objects assigned to these variables are declared in ImageResourceDemoResources, which extends GWT's ClientBundle . The methods, street(), wtc(), boat(), people() each are associated with an image file, indicated by the @Source annotation right above it. The names of files should be something that makes it easy to identify the image, and you do not need to worry about making these file names cache safe. GWT compiler hashes the name of the file, so that the browser can safely cache the file. If the image content is updated, keeping the file name is the same, GWT compiler will generate a new name for it, so that the newer version of the file is loaded by the browser.

On a browser that supports it, you may see the images compiled into data: URL for directly embedded into the resulting HTML. Otherwise, you should see http: URL for asynchronously loading from the server via hashed filename.


  
  

ImageResources class seen in the controller class is an extension of GWT Angular's ClientResources class.
