I am writing a "Terms of Service" page using ReactJS
and my idea is to copy the contents of the file tos-text.txt
in the component at build time, to avoid fetching time when the page is opened.
I tried as follows, but with poor results:
<h2>Terms of Service</h2>
<p>

import { Container } from 'react-bootstrap'
// Page content
import TosText from 'config/tos-text.txt'
// --- Terms of Service ---
const Tos = () => {
return (
<Container className="flex-grow-1 tos">
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: TosText }} />
</Container>
)
}
export default Tos
Currently the page only shows the link to the generated txt file (/static/media/tos-text.dc220bee.txt
).
EDIT:
As @jsejcksn suggested (source-assets), I've tried to install react-app-rewired
, using this config-overrides.js
:
module.exports = function override(config, _env) {
let rules = config.module.rules[1].oneOf
rules.splice(rules.length - 1, 0, {
test: /\.txt/,
type: 'asset/source',
})
return config
}
But when I try to start the test server, it says:
$ react-app-rewired start
Failed to compile.
Invalid configuration object. Webpack has been initialised using a configuration object that does not match the API schema.
- configuration.module.rules[1].oneOf[8].type should be one of these:
"javascript/auto" | "javascript/dynamic" | "javascript/esm" | "json" | "webassembly/experimental"
-> Module type to use for the module
error Command failed with exit code 1.
info Visit https://yarnpkg.com/en/docs/cli/run for documentation about this command.
Thanks to the suggestion given to me by @jsejcksn I succeeded in my intent.
I will add the solution for anyone who needs it:
$ yarn add react-app-rewired raw-loader
config-overrides.js
:
module.exports = function override(config, _env) {
let rules = config.module.rules[1].oneOf
rules.splice(rules.length - 1, 0, {
test: /\.txt$/i,
use: 'raw-loader',
})
return config
}
// Page text
import PageText from 'content/page.txt'
const Component = () => {
return (
<div className="text">
<div dangerouslySetInnerHTML={{ __html: PageText }} />
</div>
)
}
export default Component
(P.S. I bet there's a loader that converts the file to a ReactComponent
like for SVG
files, but I didn't go any further than that)
