Utilities for converting static local files into Expo Assets

Why

I ran into a problem that the static textures in the expo-tree are not loaded in the release build on the android platform. This solution circumvents this issue.

A texture from a static asset file works fine in debug mode. But doesn't work in Android release mode.

Android debug	Android release

etc.

Installation

npm install expo-exotic-asset

yarn add expo-exotic-asset

Usage

resolveExoticAsync returns a promise that resolves a expo Asset or null

const asset = await resolveExoticAsync(require('asset/img.png)); // Asset or null

resolveExoticPathAsync same as resolveExoticAsync but returns a promise that resolves file uri string or null

const uri = await resolveExoticPathAsync(require('asset/img.png)); // string or null
