I'm trying to require a json object from a json file. (ns foo (:require ["test.json" as test-json])) compiles to SHADOW_IMPORT("module$src$test_json.js");, if I'm reading this correctly. Obviously that can't be found. I was expected this to work according to https://medium.com/technoetics/reading-data-from-json-files-in-react-native-3622744b75e3 saying import sample from '../dbstore/sample1.json'; would work.

you need to provide an actual path

so ["./test.json" :as test-json]

Oh, sorry, I also have

:resolve {"test.json" {:target :file
                        :file "src/test.json"}}

yeah thats not how that works

if you are in react-native you should be using js/require

so not inside the ns

(def data (js/require "../path-to/file.json"))

where the path is relative to the :output-dir

Ah. Ok. Thank you so much.

FWIW :resolve is typically only used in cases where you can't change the code that does the require (eg. in libraries)

if you can change the require that should be your first option. :resolve doesn't give require any new options otherwise

I see. Thanks. That seems logical in hindsight.

I'm playing with uix: https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure/comments/erdo6t/desktop_apps_in_clojurescript_and_qt/ but it doesn't exist on clojars appears it wants to be included with deps.edn via git shas: https://github.com/roman01la/uix I'd like to use hot code reloading with it so I'm looking at shadow

but not sure how to include uix as a dependency in shadow-cljs.edn

just use deps.edn
