React: How to store an array of objects inside an array from a JSON file?

Question

I have a JSON file that contains an array of objects, for example:

[
    {"name": "Timothy", "age": 14},
    {....},
    {....},
    ...
]

I want to create an array, eg people , and store basically the exact same information contained in the JSON file. In other words, I want to store that array itself inside the people array I just declared. How could I do this?

Answer 1

In your case try to use spread operator:

import people from './people.json';

const myPeople = [
    {"name": "Timothy", "age": 14}, 
    {...},
    {...}
];
people.people = [...myPeople];

people.json file

{
    "name": "Test",
    "people": []
}
