title: Including SVG contents in Laravel 5 Blade template
body: <p>What is the best way to include the contents of an SVG file (located in the assets folder) in a Laravel 5 blade template?</p>
  
  <p>I don't want to use image/object/embed tags, this should be an inline SVG for reasons of speed.</p>
  
  <p>I know I could use <code>&lt;?php file_get_contents("file.svg") ?&gt;</code> but is there a better way specific to Laravel/Blade?</p>
  
  <p>Edit: to clarify, the method should work with <em>all</em> SVG files, including the one below.</p>
  
  <pre class="lang-xml prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?&gt;
  &lt;svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"&gt;
  &lt;path stroke="red" fill="#00f" d="M10 10h100v100H10z"/&gt;
  &lt;/svg&gt;
  </code></pre>
