I’m trying to follow

JSON Function Files

To display the results from a JSON file, so first things first and am trying to load the object into a variable

var content = file_get_contents("../data/cooling-areas.json");

but

but If I check if the URL exists

from

I see

So if the file exists, why would the variable be undefined?

You try to use PHP function in JS?

The error is not referring to the file, but the function. Are you sure all your dependencies are loading, otherwise you need to write the import function in your cooling_areas.js file.

something similar to:

function file_get_contents(filename) {
    fetch(filename).then((resp) => resp.text()).then(function(data) {
        return data;
    });
}
