How do I import a text file in SvelteKit?

I am trying to import a txt file and print the lines in my SvelteKit app. I tried to fetch it with the server and also I tried to import it straight into the component but I cannot get either to work. I have tried adding the txt file to both the static folder and public. This is how I tried to import it on the component.

onMount(() => {
        loadItems();
    });

    const loadItems = async () => {
        const response = await fetch('public/safety.txt');
        const text = await response.text();
        items = text.split('\n\n'); // split on double newlines
    };

    let currentIndex = 0;

    const interval = setInterval(() => {
        currentIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * items.length);
    }, 5000);

    $: currentItem = items[currentIndex];

    onDestroy(() => {
        clearInterval(interval);
    });

And this is how I tried on the server:

const safety = await fetch('/public/safety.txt')

You need to put you static files under "static" folder.
For example:

yourapp/static/safety.txt

Then it will be:

const response = await fetch('safety.txt');

That's it

Mine public json data is dummy.json
