I was literally searching for an answer on this today. I'm using React so it should be similiar for you. I think I figured it out.

I found you have to do two things.

  1. Import the Json file at the top of your code file

    import data from ./data.json

  2. Declare a variable passing the name of the variable specified in the import statement(in this case data)

    const data = require('./data.json');

Now calling {data} should allow you to usae the data of the file

Hope this helps :D
