How do I read the contents of a JSON resource file inside commonMain?

[alobaili]

My app does not use Compose Multiplatform. It uses shared logic and native UI.

I added an example.json (mocked JSON response). to the root/shared/src/commonMain/moko-resources/files/ folder.

inside root/shared/src/commonMain, I created a mock repository class that should read the contents of the file to a String variable and then I can use kotlinx-serialization to serialize it.

This is the relevant function in my mock repository class:

fun readJsonFromResource() {
  val fileResource = SharedRes.files.example_json // FileResource

  val jsonAsString: String = // How to read the contents of the resource in here?

  // Todo: Serialize string.
}

How do I achieve this? Is there example code? FileResource does not seem to have any methods for getting the string from its contents.
