Do fetch() read from local file instead of url?

```
fetch('localJsonFile.json')
.then ............

```

this is my localJson.json file

```
 [{
 "id": 1,
 "title": "Mrs",
 "body": "Case",
"date": "3/13/2017"
 }, 
 {
   "id": 2,
   "title": "Ms",
   "body": "Blackater",
   "date": "5/8/2017"
  }]
```

No, `fetch` is meant to be used with remote resources.

If you want to read bundled files, look into using [FuseJS/Bundle](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fusejs/bundle). If you want to read files stored in app data directory, use [FuseJS/FileSystem](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fuse/filesystem/filesystemmodule).
