```js
// @noErrors
import { asset, assets, base, resolve, resolveRoute } from '$app/paths';
```
## asset
Resolve the URL of an asset in your `static` directory, by prefixing it with [`config.kit.paths.assets`](/docs/kit/configuration#paths) if configured, or otherwise by prefixing it with the base path.
During server rendering, the base path is relative and depends on the page currently being rendered.
```svelte
})
```
```dts
function asset(file: Asset): string;
```
## assets
Use `asset(...)` instead
An absolute path that matches [`config.kit.paths.assets`](/docs/kit/configuration#paths).
> [!NOTE] If a value for `config.kit.paths.assets` is specified, it will be replaced with `'/_svelte_kit_assets'` during `vite dev` or `vite preview`, since the assets don't yet live at their eventual URL.
```dts
let assets:
| ''
| `https://${string}`
| `http://${string}`
| '/_svelte_kit_assets';
```
## base
Use `resolve(...)` instead
A string that matches [`config.kit.paths.base`](/docs/kit/configuration#paths).
Example usage: `Link`
```dts
let base: '' | `/${string}`;
```
## resolve
Available since 2.22
Resolve a pathname by prefixing it with the base path, if any, or resolve a route ID by populating dynamic segments with parameters.
During server rendering, the base path is relative and depends on the page currently being rendered.
```js
// @errors: 7031
import { resolve } from '$app/paths';
// using a pathname
const resolved = resolve(`/blog/hello-world`);
// using a route ID plus parameters
const resolved = resolve('/blog/[slug]', {
slug: 'hello-world'
});
```
```dts
function resolve(
...args: ResolveArgs
): ResolvedPathname;
```
## resolveRoute
Use `resolve(...)` instead
```dts
function resolveRoute(
...args: ResolveArgs
): ResolvedPathname;
```
