How can I import a data file as a variable?

I have a somewhat non-standard need where I need to store a large blob of data in a text file, and import it into svelte. Currently, my object looks like this

<script>
let data = "A very large string";
</string>

<div>
{data}
</div>

I want to store the contents of data as a string, which is dynamically compiled into the object, e.g.

<script>
let data = import("myData.txt");
</string>

<div>
{data}
</div>

I Can't see anything in the svelte documentation that says this is supported, but I'm new to svelte / front-end dev, so maybe someone can suggest a workaround?

Store the large blob of data inside a .txt file on the server at a location where it can be publicly accessed, and then use fetch() to load it from there.

let data = await fetch('https://localhost/public_path/myData.txt')
  .then(res => res.text());

Note: I have no experience with svelte

All the best.
