Import local GeoJSON file into Leaflet

I just used a leaflet. From the geoJSON demo page I saw if you want to include data you have to use



<script src="data/us-states.geojson"></script>


and if you open the files looks like



var ustates = {
"type": "FeatureCollection",
......

};


and if you want to call them use



var data = [ustates] ;


Is there another way to call the data?
The geojson file that I have has no initial variable and looks like this:



{
"type": "FeatureCollection",
......

}


I have lots of data and I have to open 1 by 1 to add variable on geojson data so I mean can I just call the data like



var ustates = <?php include "data/us-states.geojson"; ?>
var data = [ustates];

          We use this function in our project (credits go to Roberto MF):



          function fetchJSON(url) {
          return fetch(url)
          .then(function(response) {
          return response.json();
          });
          }


          It uses the Fetch API to download the file. You can simply use your path data/us-states.geojson as url. Example with your data:



          var data = fetchJSON('data/us-states.geojson');




          Be aware that this doesn't work in Internet Explorer by default, but you can polyfill it by adding this line to your HTML-<head>:



          <script src="https://bowercdn.net/c/fetch-1.0.0/fetch.js" integrity="sha384-j9GCh0V617Ks+uEOZnAhwzTOWu5lPIlPW3QYRSfEwXd+x7VqP1XHNLgj3AIX7Mo0" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

            Very similar to the previous answer we use XHR to get the file and load the data into Leaflet.



            const xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
            xhr.open('GET', 'data/us-states.geojson');
            xhr.setRequestHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json');
            xhr.responseType = 'json';
            xhr.onload = function() {
            if (xhr.status !== 200) return
            L.geoJSON(xhr.response).addTo(map);
            };
            xhr.send();
