Recently viewed pages

This code is from Drupal 9 back-end for a React front-end via REST API.

Working through the output for recently viewed pages... the code structure:

<?php

use Drupal\custom\Plugin\GetData\ContentBase;
use Drupal\custom\Plugin\GetData\ParagraphTrait;

    /**

            // Confirm that the variable $node is an object, otherwise when NULL due to
            // content access an error page is shown.

An example of the JSON output derived from this code

{
  "recent_view_pages": {
    "list": [
      {
        "label": "Branding Guidelines ",
        "icon": "How-to",
        "url": "/node/123"
      },
      {
        "label": "Public Health Association Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander guide to terminology",
        "icon": "How-to",
        "url": "/node/213"
      },
      {
        "label": "Annual Business Planning Approach",
        "icon": "How-to",
        "url": "/node/1231"
      },
      {
        "label": "Avaya one-X - User manual ",
        "icon": "How-to",
        "url": "/node/765"
      },
      {
        "label": "Share an update",
        "icon": "template",
        "url": "/node/278"
      },
      {
        "label": "How to and guides",
        "icon": "template",
        "url": "/node/946"
      },
      {
        "label": "Work resources",
        "icon": "template",
        "url": "/node/811"
      },
      {
        "label": "Fact sheets",
        "icon": "template",
        "url": "/node/177"
      },
      {
        "label": "Templates",
        "icon": "template",
        "url": "/node/625"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Adjustments, currently the icon is the file name.  Which can be either a SVG or PNG file.  Additionally, it is not showing the directory path to the file.  However, this can be easily updated to 

{
  "recent_view_pages": {
    "list": [
      {
        "label": "Branding Guidelines ",
        "icon": "sites/default/files/icons/How-to.svg",
        "url": "/node/123"
      },
      //  .....  //
    ]
  }
}
