title: Is it possible to serve Static files with create-react-app from public folder?
body: <p>Basically I made a (relatively) simple app for a client. The app works and all but they keep asking for changes to the data.</p>
  
  <p>Given the originally anticipated simplicity of the app and the fact it held static data, i did not link it to any back end.ll the data lives in a local static file with an object holding the data.</p>
  
  <p>The problem is that fle gets bundled into the buld, so if i want to just change some static data without having to rbuild, i can't!</p>
  
  <p>I have assets that my data file can access inside the public folder, and those are working fine. I was trying to achieve the same idea with a js file.</p>
  
  <p>I canot import from outside the /src folder. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a way i can access static data from the static folder that gets added on build somehow?</p>
