There are no files 'INSIDE' a Javascript function.

The only way to access the content of a file is to access it.

============

Now, if the content is a piece of javascript, like:

const myArray = [1,2,3];

You can incorporate it like this:

<script src='myArrayFile.txt'></script>

=========

Otherwise you will have to read it with Javascript fetch()
or xmlhttp, or use serverside code to insert it.

=========

You could dump a text-string in a hidden <textarea> 
and access that with the DOM.
