How can access property from JSON file in JavaScript?

Question

I have a JSON file

Testing.json

{
  "DEV_MODE": false
}

and how can I access this value in JavaScript because i want to make check

if( DEV_MODE === true) {...} else {...}

I tried like this

import jsonFile from '../../testing.json'
var json = JSON.parse(jsonFile)
if(json.getProperty('DEV_MODE'){
...
}else{
...
}

but it doesn't work.

You should be able to access the DEV_MODE property like this:

json.DEV_MODE or json["DEV_MODE"]

You can access to your json file easily and you don't need to parse that, like the following:

import jsonFile from '../../testing.json'
if (jsonFile.DEV_MODE) {
  ...
} else {
  ...
}
