How to read a local file?

Ionic Framework ionic-v3
1

Hi All,

Can someone please share how to read a local file? None of the older examples seem to work.

Neither

import { readFileSync } from 'fs';

nor

var fs = require('fs');

are working for me.

My intention is to build this into a browser-only app, so that rules Cordova out.

For reference, here’s an example of it working in the past.

Thanks,
Ryan
