I'm using Vue.js and Gridsome to create a portfolio for myself. However, when I added a JSON file to contain my profile info in the site, I faced an issue. This is how I imported the file inside my Index.vue component:

<script>
import Intro from "~/components/Intro.vue";
import profile from "~/data/profile.json";

export default {
  components: {
    Intro,
  },
  metaInfo: {
    title: "Farzin Nasiri",
  },
  data: () => ({
    profile
  }),
};
</script>

and here is how I use it:

<Intro :personal="profile.personal" />

When I run the project in development (command: gridsome develop), everything is ok and the data is read properly. However, when I want to build the project (command: gridsome build) which creates a build files in the dist folder, then this error happens:

this is my project structure(src folder):

here is my package.json:

  "version": "0.0.2",
  "private": true,

  }
}

I really don't get where the problem is and need help to solve it. Thanks for your time

Gridsome & SSR

From the Gridsome docs:

gridsome build uses server-side rendering (SSR) to create a fully rendered page. If your Vue component does not support SSR ... it won't be rendered properly.

we suggest you to encapsulate the component inside <ClientOnly></ClientOnly> tags and import the library inside Vue's mounted() handler.

The error you got is from vue-server-renderer, which is from Vue's server-side API. You'll need to implement the instructions above.

~ import

Also, without knowing how you've enabled loading JSON as a module (i.e. ~) in development, perhaps that's an issue, because that doesn't work in the default Vue CLI environment.

Try removing the ~ from all imports:

import profile from "@/data/profile.json";
