How do I pass image link to js/view?

[Maurice Waka]

I need to pass the image link from the controller to js

controller function():
    imgs = ["<img src=\"{{=URL('static','images/3.jpg')}}\" style=\"max-height='100px';border-radius:7px;\"/>"]

view page

code.....
return sendMessage(`{{=imgs}}<br>{{=XML(test_text,sanitize=True)}}`)

So far i'm getting only a string as previously stated. 

If I insert the string directly, then i'm able to view the image but not importing from the controller.

Is there a way of importing the link and inserting it into the js code ?

Better yet, a way of getting the image from database.
