Can resources in the developer server be accessed from the visual.ts?

[dfgwebxqu]

What I am looking to achieve is roughly:
1.Import resources in the import statement
import earth from '../assets/earth.png'
2.Then use it in the code

let img = new Image(); 
img.src=earth 

In this case, print value of earth is 'assets/earth.png', but my img cannot correctly read the path.
