how to fetch local json file in javascript

1Try to use file system. Don't think reading from a JSON file works like that.

3const fs = require('fs');
4const json_data = require('../services/contributors.JSON');
5
6fs.readFile(json_data, 'utf8', function (err, data) {
7  try {
8    data = JSON.parse(data)
9    for (let i in data){
10    console.log('Name:',data[i].name)
11    }
12  } catch (e) {
13    // Catch error in case file doesn't exist or isn't valid JSON
14  }
15});
