Import JSON file in build folder instead js file

[ngocducdim]

Clear and concise description of the problem

• Hi, currently I create the json file called cbt.json and put it inside public folder which is imported like this:
  
  Example of cbt.json (this json file will update many times manually):
  

• When run npm run build the output folder contain cbt.json but the bundle js file does not load this cbt.json but it got hardcode inside js file:
  

• Because it hardcore like this if I modify cbt.json, the code won't affect, can help?

Suggested solution

I'm not sure

Alternative

Import json file dynamically instead hardcode when build

Converting to discussion as this is a question.

If you want to load dist/cbs.json, you need to use fetch not import.

const res = await fetch('/cbs.json')
const data = await res.json()

I'm not sure about that part tho

Assets in public cannot be imported from JavaScript.

Quite confusing regarding the wording. Which seems to be not clear enough to some people.

@kissu I guess #9276 is related.

That part means assets in public cannot be imported from JavaScript. For example:

import foo from '../public/foo.json'

But actually it is possible as described in #9276.

The solution that works for my issue was to put the json in the /public folder and fetch it with useEffect

useEffect(() => {
const getData = async () => {
fetch("/mappingSrc.js")
.then((response) => response.json())
.then((response) => {
dispatch(setRaw(response));
setGame(false);
dispatch(newGame());
})
.catch((err) => console.error(err));
};
getData();
}, []);

But we can only use this fro development and not deployment as some versions of chrome, ff, edge don't support this format
