I am trying to open a json file in javascript,
function test() {
const jsonData= require('logins.json');
alert(jsonData)
}<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>test</title>
<script defer src="test.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
<button onclick="test()">test</button>
</html>this is not working and logins.json is a thing, this is what is in it:
{
"Students":[
{
"username":"test",
"password":"testi" }
]
}
any help is great, do I need to use Ajax or is it a silly mistake? I am new to javascript.
Node.js provides a require function which can load JSON.
You are running your JavaScript embedded in a <script> element in a web page in a browser, not Node.
do I need to use Ajax
Yes.
Give the JSON file a URL, use the fetch API to request it.
