title: Vue - Importing external JSON without reloading
body: <p>I am running into an issue with reactive data being reset each time a JSON file is updated.</p>
  
  <p>The JSON file is a database of previous messages that is to be loaded initially once, in the created() cycle:</p>
  
  <pre><code>created() {
       const database = require('../../db.json');
       this.messages = database.messages
  },
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>On the server side, any new messages will update this JSON file. However when this happens, it triggers a new import in the Vue application and the data values are reset.</p>
  
  <p>I would like to only import this data once, on load - is there a way?</p>
