How do I import svg from file to a component in angular 5?

Question

All tutorials with adding svg to a component in AngularCli that I found recommend to insert it in html template, something like this:

<div>
  <svg viewBox="0 0 250 250">
    <svg:g class="group">
       <svg:polygon class="shield" points="125,30 125,30 125,30 31.9,63.2 46.1,186.3 125,230 125,230 125,230 203.9,186.3 218.1,63.2" />
       <svg:path class="a" d="M125,52.1L66.8,182.6h0h21.7h0l11.7-29.2h49.4l11.7,29.2h0h21.7h0L125,52.1L125,52.1L125,52.1L125,52.1
      L125,52.1z M142,135.4H108l17-40.9L142,135.4z"/>
    </svg:g>
  </svg>
</div>

But I wish to keep templates clear and instert only few tags in it with url to separated svg file, somwehow like this:

<svg class="star">
        <use xlink:href="../../../assets/images/svg/star.svg"
               x="0"
               y="0" />
</svg>

Ho do I use separated svg files in components?

If you have logo.svg:

1. Put it inside your src/assets folder
2. Include folder in the angular.json config: "assets": [ "src/assets" ]
3. Refer to it from template: <img src="assets/svg/logo.svg">
