      @acimail01 Ok, we can fix the $ is not defined at loadJSON.

      Replace the function with the following which uses good old XMLHttpRequest:

      fuction loadJSON(filePath) {
          if (typeof module !== "undefined") {
              return require(filePath);
          } else {
              try {
                  var xmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
                  xmlhttp.open("GET", filePath, false);
                  xmlhttp.send();
                  if (xmlhttp.status === 200) {
                      return JSON.parse(xmlhttp.responseText);
                  } else {
                      throw "Unexpected status code!";
                  }
              } catch (e) {
                  console.error(e);
                  return {};
              }
          }
      }
