Accessing Local JSON Files in Your Vue.js Project with AXIOS

If you’re working on a Vue.js project and need to access local JSON files, you might run into a common issue: retrieving data from custom folders using AXIOS. This problem can be particularly frustrating when you successfully fetch data from an external link but fail to do the same with local files. In this guide, we’ll explore the solution to accessing a local JSON file with AXIOS in a Vue.js project.

The Problem

Imagine you have a local JSON file named todos.json located in the src/assets directory of your Vue project. You might think that you can easily access it using a URL like this:

However, attempting to retrieve the file this way will not work. This is because AXIOS cannot fetch files from custom folders like src/assets directly. So, what’s the solution?

The Solution: Use the Static Folder

To successfully access your local JSON file, you need to place it in a static directory rather than inside the src/assets folder. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:

Step 1: Move the JSON File

Create a Static Folder: Inside your Vue project, create a static folder at the root level (if it doesn't already exist).

Move Your JSON File: Transfer your todos.json file from src/assets to the newly created static directory.

Step 2: Update the AXIOS Request

With your JSON file now located in the static folder, you need to adjust your AXIOS call to access the file correctly. Replace your old API call with the following code:

Important Notes:

Base URL: The URL starts with a leading slash (/). This means AXIOS will look for the file directly at the root level of your application.

Development Server: Make sure you are running your local development server (for example, using npm run serve or yarn serve) while testing the file access. Without the server, the request will fail.

Step 3: Handling Results

Once the request completes successfully, you can handle the response just like you would with any other API call. For example, you can assign the result to your component's data property:

Conclusion

Accessing local JSON files in a Vue.js application using AXIOS can seem challenging if you don’t know the right methods. By moving your files to the static directory and adjusting your AXIOS requests accordingly, you can easily retrieve your data. This not only facilitates local testing but also streamlines your development process. Happy coding!
