How to get image baseurl for category icon?

Question

I want to setup a method to get image URLs for category icons like pub/catalog/images/offer.png

What do I have to do for it?

This is what I am trying to build:

And this is the URL I need:

$vdrawMainMenu = str_replace('Phones, Tablets & Accessories', '<img src="http://localhost/kikinben/pub/static/frontend/Alothemes/default/en_US/Magento_Catalog/images/mobile.png" style="width:20px">Phones, Tablets & Accessories', $vdrawMainMenu);

Answer 1

In a template, you can use

$block->getViewFileUrl('Magento_Catalog::images/offer.png');

If you do it in a block method, use $this instead of $block
