I want to use a svg image from my assets folder in one of my components as a background-image. Here is an example of my component:
As Max Martynov, highlighted in the comments, you should use url('~@/assets/image.svg').
Webpack has some specific rules when resolving assets[1].
In order to resolve an alias (@), as you are using, it is mandatory webpack handles the request as a module request. Using the prefix ~ enforces webpack to treat the request as a module request, similar to require('some-module/image.svg').
I would recommend using style binding. I found this thread really helpful link.
Here an example using bootstrap cards
<div
class="card-image"
:style="{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + require('@/assets/images/cards.jpg') + ')' }">
The image is in src/assets/images/cards.jpg
