How to fetch data from local JSON file on react native?

Question

How can I store local files such as JSON and then fetch the data from controller?

Answer 1

For ES6/ES2015 you can import directly like:

// example.json
{
    "name": "testing"
}


// ES6/ES2015
// app.js
import * as data from './example.json';
const word = data.name;
console.log(word); // output 'testing'

If you use typescript, you may declare json module like:

// tying.d.ts
declare module "*.json" {
    const value: any;
    export default value;
}
