Here's how I include my Figure component:
<Figure
src='/src/images/image.jpg'
alt='A picture'
/>
The file is located at ./src/images/image.jpg.
This is what the Figure component looks like:
---
const {alt, src} = Astro.props
const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/*.*');
---
<Image src={images[src]()} alt={alt} />
The error is: "[ERROR] images[src] is not a function"

Hi @frank obsidian. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
The error message you're seeing indicates that images[src] is not a function. This is because import.meta.glob returns an object where each key is a path to a file and each value is a function that can be called to import that file. If images[src] is not a function, it means that the src you're providing does not match any of the keys in the images object.
In your case, you're trying to import an image from the path /src/images/image.jpg. However, the import.meta.glob function is looking for images in the /src/images/*.* directory. The *.* pattern will match any file in the images directory, but it will not match files in subdirectories. If your image is in a subdirectory, you'll need to adjust your glob pattern to include subdirectories, like so: /src/images/**/*.*.
Also, it's important to note that the paths returned by import.meta.glob are relative to the project root, not absolute paths. So if your src prop is an absolute path (i.e., it starts with a /), it won't match any of the keys in the images object. You should ensure that the src prop you're passing to your Figure component is a path relative to the project root, without the leading /.
Here's how you can modify your Figure component to handle this:
---
const {alt, src} = Astro.props
const images = import.meta.glob<{ default: ImageMetadata }>('/src/images/**/*.*');
const relativeSrc = src.startsWith('/') ? src.slice(1) : src;
if (!images[relativeSrc]) throw new Error(`"${relativeSrc}" does not exist in glob: "/src/images/**/*.*"`);
---
<Image src={images**relativeSrc** ()} alt={alt} />
This code will remove the leading / from the src prop if it exists, and then use the resulting relative path to import the image. It will also throw an error if the src prop does not match any of the keys in the images object, which should help you debug any issues with your image paths.

@tropic patrol, then why does the recipe have a leading slash in the path?
imagePath="/src/assets/avatar-1.jpg"

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
The leading slash in the imagePath="/src/assets/avatar-1.jpg" from the recipe is likely a mistake or a specific use case. In general, the paths used with import.meta.glob should be relative to the project root, not absolute paths.
The leading slash makes the path absolute, which could lead to unexpected behavior if your project's file structure doesn't match the absolute path.
It's recommended to use relative paths without a leading slash when working with import.meta.glob. For example, if your image is located in the src/assets directory, you would use src/assets/avatar-1.jpg as the imagePath.
Here's how you can modify the imagePath:
const imagePath = "src/assets/avatar-1.jpg";
