Accessing File from Function / Deployment

[Steven]

I found another post with a similar issue:

Referencing files in functions

Thanks Dennis! This is this was excactly what I was looking for! I will try to implement this! One question though! Could you simply require the file you need to get it included in the build? I was thinking something along the lines of: const getThisFile = require("./includeThisAwesomeFile.hbs") Am I missing something obvious here?

I’ve tried to imitate the solution by requiring it but it returns an empty object.

const pdfFile = require(“./test.pdf”);
console.log(pdfFile); //{}
