I have a JSON file I'd like to load from a @JsExport annotated function. The function should return the content of the file. When I package my library though, the file, stored in src/jsMain/resources/file.json is not included in the bundle. Is there any way to include it?

[turansky]

Do you want to bundle json file inside resulted JS bundle?

[quiro]

it doesn't really matter, as long as the function I expose returns the content of the JSON file (I'm assuming I have to bundle it)

[turansky]

You can use import function to include JSON file in bundle

[quiro]

do you have any example? Not sure I can use import and then annotate the function with @JsExport

[turansky]

importAsync will be fine

[turansky]

@JsExport
fun getJson(): Promise<Data> {
    return importAsync<Data>("./data.json")
}

// legacy
@JsExport
fun getJson(): Data {
    return require<Data>("./data.json")
}
