Load JSON data in Angular

Error: “Cannot find module ‘./path/to/data.json’. Consider using ‘–resolveJsonModule’ to import module with ‘.json’ extension”

1. Allow JSON data

Loading large JSON files may consume a lot of memory, which is why TypeScript requires conscious enablement for importing JSON files. To do so, edit the TypeScript config file, found in the app root folder:

// FILE: tsconfig.json

"angularCompilerOptions": {
  ...
  "resolveJsonModule": true
  ...
}Code language: JavaScript (javascript)

Error: “Cannot find module ‘./path/to/data.json’. Consider using ‘–resolveJsonModule’ to import module with ‘.json’ extension”

2. Import JSON data

Now you can import the JSON data without an error.

import * as data from './path/to/data.json';
console.log(data);Code language: JavaScript (javascript)
