You are free to use images either in image tags or as background images in SCSS files. You can
use a "global" location of /client/app/assets/images or a relative path to your JS or SCSS file, as
is done with CSS modules.
**images** is a defined alias, so "images/foobar.jpg" would point to the file at
`/client/app/assets/images/foobar.jpg.`
```
resolve: {
alias: {
images: join(process.cwd(), 'app', 'assets', 'images'),
},
},
```
