      @Lahim because you changed the context by removing the arrow function, to preserve the context you have to do something like:

       if (this.config.remoteFile != null) {
        var self = this;
        this.complimentFile(function(response){
          self.config.compliments = JSON.parse(response);
        });
      }
      

      Please create a github issue if you need help, so I can keep track

            I have not. By default, the compliments module looks for the compliments.json file in the compliments module folder. I suppose you could try using the path to the file on your server in your config entry

            remoteFile: "PATH_TO_FILE_ON_SERVER/comliments.json",

            Dunno if that will work though.

            Create a working config
