I have a TypeScript (NodeJS-10.6.0) code and need to create a variable that will retrieve the contents of a JSON file.

I've tried to import the contents of the file in the following ways:

 1. import { orderPayload } = require('../../events/qa/myfile.json');
 2. import { orderPayload } = '../../events/qa/myfile.json';
 3. const orderPayload: Order = require ('../../events/qa/myfile.json');
 4. const orderPayload= require ('../../events/qa/myfile.json');

TSlint shows the following errors:

 1. TS1141 - String Literal expected, Required statement not part of a import statement (no-var-required)
 2. String Literal expected
 3. Required statement not part of a import statement (no-var-required)
 4. Required statement not part of a import statement (no-var-required)

Is there any way to import the contents of this JSON file into the orderPayload variable without having to use the NodeJs FS file system module?

You can not simply import into a JSON file without the proper exports.

Do the following:

myfile.json

export const orderPayload  = {...}

And then you can do import { orderPayload } from '../../events/qa/myfile.json';
