If you are just trying to get values to pass into your React component then you can try turning it into a JSON file and then 

 import data from '<path_to_json_file>';

You must use a Node.js default module called fs

https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_readfile_path_options_callback

const fs = require("fs");

fs.readFile('myfile.txt', (err, data) => {
  if (err) throw err;
  // Do your stuff here
  console.log(data);
});
