Creating SVG Use

When I add this SVG in the HTML it displays. When I try to build it using JS it does not display. They code appears identical, obviously I have overlooked something.

In HTML works

<div><svg><use href="#star"></use></svg></div>

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
    <symbol id='star' viewBox='0 0 460 460'>
        <style>.a{fill:#64C37D;}</style><polygon points="243.3 280.1 199.6 257.1 199.6 289.1 199.6 289.1 199.8 289.2 280.8 331.8 280.7 331.7 280.8 331.8 265.4 241.1 235 231.5 " fill="#99EFF2"/><polygon points="240.3 164 331 177.3 265.4 241.1 299.7 252.3 299.7 252.3 299.7 252.3 399.6 154.9 261.5 134.9 240.3 164 " fill="#933EC5"/><polygon points="299.7 252.3 265.4 241.1 280.8 331.8 280.7 331.7 280.8 331.8 199.8 289.2 199.8 324.9 199.8 324.9 323.2 389.8 323.2 389.7 323.2 389.8 " fill="#00D7DF"/><polygon points="199.8 289.2 199.6 289.1 118.3 331.8 133.8 241.3 133.7 241.2 99.9 252.2 99.9 252.3 99.9 252.3 76.3 389.8 199.8 324.9 199.8 324.9 " class="a"/><polygon points="99.9 252.2 133.7 241.2 68.1 177.3 68.2 177.2 68.2 177.2 159.3 164 159.3 164 138.1 134.8 138.1 134.8 0.1 154.9 0.1 154.9 0 154.9 99.9 252.3 99.9 252.3 " fill="#FF9811"/><polygon points="159.3 164 199.6 81.8 240.3 164 261.5 134.9 199.8 9.8 138.1 134.8 138.1 134.8 " fill="#EA348B"/><polygon points="133.9 241.2 164.1 231.5 164.1 231.4 " class="a"/><polygon points="331 177.3 240.3 164 221.6 189.8 270.4 196.8 235 231.5 265.4 241.1 " fill="#7C84E8"/><polygon points="199.6 257.1 199.5 257.1 155.8 280.1 164.1 231.5 133.9 241.2 133.9 241.3 133.8 241.3 118.3 331.8 199.6 289.1 199.6 289.1 " fill="#91DC5A"/><polygon points="133.9 241.2 164.1 231.4 128.7 196.8 177.7 189.6 159.3 164 159.3 164 68.2 177.2 68.2 177.2 68.1 177.3 133.7 241.2 133.8 241.3 133.9 241.3 " fill="#FFDA44"/><polygon points="177.7 189.6 199.6 145.4 221.6 189.8 240.3 164 240.3 164 199.6 81.8 159.3 164 159.3 164 159.3 164 " fill="#F7AED1"/>
    </symbol>
</svg>

IN JS does not work

c = {
'Make Bed': true, 
'Clean Room': true, 
'Study': false}

for (const i in c) {
        let cDiv = document.createElement('div')
        let cSvg = document.createElement('svg')
        cDiv.appendChild(cSvg)
        let cUse = document.createElement('use');
        if (c[i]) {
            cUse.setAttribute('href', '#star');  
        }
        cSvg.appendChild(cUse)
        document.querySelector('.container').appendChild(cDiv)
    }

In order to create SVG elements you have to use createElementNS. To set an attribute you need to use setAttributeNS where NS stands for namespace. Also you need to use the namespace URI

const SVG_NS = 'http://www.w3.org/2000/svg';
const SVG_XLINK = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";



let cDiv = document.createElement('div');

let cSvg = document.createElementNS(SVG_NS, 'svg');
cDiv.appendChild(cSvg);
let cUse = document.createElementNS(SVG_NS, "use");
cUse.setAttributeNS(SVG_XLINK, "xlink:href", "#star");
cSvg.appendChild(cUse);
document.querySelector(".container").appendChild(cDiv);
svg{border:1px solid; max-width:100vh;}
<div class="container">
<div><svg><use href="#star"></use></svg></div>
