I'm using the editorjs npm package and have created a custom plugin.

To display an icon for the editor an SVG has to be provided as seen below

This works when inline svg is used as seen below

return {
            title: 'Image',
            icon: '<svg width="17" height="15" viewBox="0 0 336 276" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M291 150V79c0-19-15-34-34-34H79c-19 0-34 15-34 34v42l67-44 81 72 56-29 42 30zm0 52l-43-30-56 30-81-67-66 39v23c0 19 15 34 34 34h178c17 0 31-13 34-29zM79 0h178c44 0 79 35 79 79v118c0 44-35 79-79 79H79c-44 0-79-35-79-79V79C0 35 35 0 79 0z"/></svg>',
        }

However when I attempt to import the SVG and use the reference instead:

const toolBoxIcon = require('./image.svg');
return {
            title: 'Image',
            icon: toolBoxIcon,
        };

It renders as string:

I'm trying to figure out what needs to be done to load the SVG in the second instance.
