[Home](./index.md) > [server](./server.md) > [AssetsLibrary](./server.assetslibrary.md) ## AssetsLibrary class Manages the assets library and synchronization of assets to the local assets directory in development. When to use: pulling assets from the shared library during local development. Do NOT use for: production asset loading; the library is disabled in production. **Signature:** ```typescript export default class AssetsLibrary ``` ## Remarks The AssetsLibrary is created internally as a global singleton accessible via `AssetsLibrary.instance`. Assets automatically sync to local assets in development mode the first time an asset in the library is requested by the client. You generally do not need to call `AssetsLibrary.syncAsset` unless you have a specific reason to. ## Example ```typescript import { AssetsLibrary } from 'hytopia'; const assetsLibrary = AssetsLibrary.instance; assetsLibrary.syncAsset('assets/models/player.gltf'); ``` \*\*Category:\*\* Assets ## Properties
