Magento 2 - store media in module folder and access it in template

Question

My extension comes with an icon, where can I place it in my module and how can I load it in the modules template?

Template:

<img src="/media/icons/new-badge.svg" class="new-icon" alt="NEW">

Answer 1

You can put icon/images at:

app/code/VENDOR/MODULE/view/frontend/web/images

to access those image in template, You can use:

 <img src="<?php echo $this->getViewFileUrl('VENDOR_MODULE::images/icon.png'); ?>">

Hope above will help!
