Can't import svg images correctly

[kmcaloon]

I keep running into issues here. My pngs and jpegs are loading correctly, but no matter what I do I can't get my svgs to show up. I currently have imagemin-svgo, and am running into issues with or without it.

The first issue is that when I require my svg according to the docs here is what I get

// NextJS
<img src={ require( '~public/images/logo-walmart.svg' ) } alt="Walmart Logo" />

// Resulting HTML
<img src="[object Module]" alt="Walmart Logo">

Event if I try require( '~public/images/logo-walmart.svg').default, it results with a file that when I open in a new tab shows the following error: error on line 1 at column 1: Document is empty

If it helps, here is the original svg:

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

Same here.
Also the file that is referenced in the default export seems to be a react component.
