        @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.
