Require json file dynamically in react-native (from thousands of files)
I googled so far and tried to find out the solution but not yet.
I know require() works only with static path, so I want alternative ways to solve my problem. I found this answer here but it doesnt make sense for thousands of resources.
Please advise me the best approach to handle such case.
Background
I have thousand of json files that containing app data, and declared all the file path dynamically like below:
export var SRC_PATH = {
bible_version_inv: {
"kjv-ot": "data/bibles/Bible_KJV_OT_%s.txt",
"kjv-nt": "data/bibles/Bible_KJV_NT_%s.txt",
"lct-ot": "data/bibles/Bible_LCT_OT_%s.txt",
"lct-nt": "data/bibles/Bible_LCT_NT_%s.txt",
"leb": "data/bibles/leb_%s.txt",
"net": "data/bibles/net_%s.txt",
"bhs": "data/bibles/bhs_%s.txt",
"n1904": "data/bibles/na_%s.txt",
.....
"esv": "data/bibles/esv_%s.txt",
.....
},
....
As you can see, file path contains '%s' and that should be replace with right string depends on what the user selected.
For example if user select the bible (abbreviation: "kjv-ot") and the chapter 1 then the file named "data/bibles/Bible_KJV_OT_01.txt" should be imported.
I'm not good enough in react-native, just wondering if there is other alternative way to handle those thousands of resource files and require only one at a time by dynamically following the user's selection.
Any suggestions please.

Instead of exporting a flat file, you could export a function that took a parameter which would help build out the paths like this:
// fileInclude.js
export const generateSourcePath = (sub) => {
return {
bible_version_inv: {
"kjv-ot": `data/bibles/Bible_KJV_OT_${sub}.txt`
}
}
}
//usingFile.js
const generation = require('./fileInclude.js');
const myFile = generation.generateSourcePath('mySub');
const requiredFile = require(myFile);
then you would import (or require) this item into your project, execute generateSourcePath('mysub') to get all your paths.

You would import this function, and inline require the file that you're attempting to use locally. Require can happen dynamically.

@UzairA., edited the question again, condition means the user behavior, so for example user select the "kjv-ot" bible and the chapter 1, then the file name should be "data/bibles/Bible_KJV_OT_01.txt". That means the app contents should be changed following the user's behavior. thanks
