# Interface: UnresolvedAsset\<T\>

An asset that has not been resolved yet. This is the initial format used when adding assets
to the Assets system before they are processed into a [ResolvedAsset](assets.ResolvedAsset.html.md).

## Example

```ts
// Basic unresolved asset
const asset: UnresolvedAsset = {
    alias: 'hero',
    src: 'hero.png'
};

// Multiple aliases and formats
const asset: UnresolvedAsset = {
    alias: ['hero', 'player'],
    src: 'hero.{webp,png}',
    data: {
        scaleMode: 'nearest',
    }
};

// Asset with multiple sources and formats
const asset: UnresolvedAsset = {
    alias: 'background',
    src: [
        'bg@2x.webp',
        'bg@1x.webp',
        'bg@2x.png',
        'bg@1x.png',
    ]
};

// With specific loader
const asset: UnresolvedAsset = {
    alias: 'config',
    src: 'data.txt',
    parser: 'text'
};
```

## Remarks

- Used as input format when adding assets to the system
- Can specify multiple aliases for the same asset
- Supports format patterns for browser compatibility
- Can include loader-specific data and options
