Answer 1

This worked well in React 16.11.0

// in customData.js
export const customData = {
  //json data here
  name: 'John Smith',
  imgURL: 'http://lorempixel.com/100/100/',
  hobbyList: ['coding', 'writing', 'skiing']
}

// in index.js
import { customData } from './customData';

// example usage later in index.js
{customData.name}
