copied!<p>There are three ways you can go about this, it depends what you're most comfortable with & your use case.</p> <p><strong>The first is to store it as a JS Object</strong></p> <p>if your json data is <code>{ "name":"bob" }</code> you could use <code>myjson = {"name":"bob"}</code> in a <code>.js</code> file in the <code>/lib</code> folder and just call <code>myjson</code> when you need it.</p> <p><strong>Using an http call</strong></p> <p>You need the <code>Meteor http</code> package, installed via <code>meteor add http</code>.</p> <p><em>Server Side code</em></p> <pre><code>myobject = HTTP.get(Meteor.absoluteUrl("/myfile.json")).data; </code></pre> <p><em>Client Side Code</em></p> <pre><code>HTTP.get(Meteor.absoluteUrl("/myfile.json"), function(err,result) } console.log(result.data); }); </code></pre> <p>Another way to do it is to fetch the json file ajax style (you would have to put it in your <code>/public</code> folder though and use <code>Meteor.http</code> to call it.</p> <p><strong>Read the file directly</strong></p> <p>Lastly you could read the file directly, you store your <code>myfile.json</code> in a <code>private</code> directory in your project's root:</p> <pre><code>var myjson = {}; myjson = JSON.parse(Assets.getText("myfile.json")); </code></pre> <p>If you want to access this on the client side you would have to interface it with a Meteor.methods and Meteor.call</p> <p>So whichever way you want, the first is the easiest but I'm not too sure how you want to use it or whether you want to pick the file or something</p>
