loading json data from local file into React JS

Question

I have a React component and I want to load in my JSON data from a file. The console log currently doesn\'t work, even though I\'m creating the variable data

I was trying to do the same thing and this is what worked for me (ES6/ES2015):

import myData from './data.json';

I got the solution from this answer on a react-native thread asking the same thing: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37781882/176002
