Vue - How to locate and read file on root folder, after build process

Question

I developed a web app that will be executed offline, from the SO file system. The client wants to add a file on the folder (along index.html) to be read by the web app. Is that possible?

I know that is possible to read files with javascript, but after the build process I don't know how to locate the file.

literary create "files" folder after build in root, and during build reference it. /files/files... Or even not 100% sure if you crate manualy files folder in root of build will it be created after build in it. Also why not just make upload function? Did you even try anything? — ikiK

Depends on how you use Vue. For example, if you are doing a Vue CLI SPA project, then any file that's in the public folder beside the index.html can be referenced as if it was in the root folder of the URL you use (e.g. npm run serve -> http://localhost:8080 is the root; http://localhost:8080/additionalfile.xyz is accessible. It's another question what you can do with it, but it's accessible.)
