Anyone know how best to load an SVG in Compose for Web (Canvas)?
Looking to add it to this canvas of capabilities

For now, it's not possible for experimental "Canvas" mode.
But, we plan to support Android-like xml vector graphics.

Sorry @Dima Avdeev, never tell a developer it's not possible 😅

lol, I couldn't resist poking around and found we can still do this in Canvas mode:

val svgDom = remember(bytes) { SVGDOM(data = Data.makeFromBytes(bytes)) }
Canvas(modifier = modifier) {
    svgDom.setContainerSize(size.width,size.height)
    drawIntoCanvas { canvas ->
        svgDom.render(canvas.nativeCanvas)
    }
}

Outcomes:
• SVG loaded 🎉 (The bottom-left Kotlin logo)
• Code
Actually, I did find it a bit hit-and-miss which SVG's can load and not - some show as black mask only, at a quick glance seems to be where SVG style classes(?) are involved?

That's amazing!
