How can I import files as text

[LokiMidgard]

I need to import a xml file.

I used import nota from './../data/nota.xml'; in the script block of my svelte file and made following declaration in a typeings.d.ts file:

declare module '*.xml' {
    const content: string;
    export default content;
  }

When running the App I get following error.

Failed to parse source for import analysis because the content contains invalid JS syntax. You may need to install appropriate plugins to handle the .xml file format.

I assume the file gets loaded as JS. How can I tell svelte to just load the file as text?

Use the ?raw suffix: import nota from './../data/nota.xml?raw'; https://vitejs.dev/guide/assets.html#importing-asset-as-string
