How do I use dictionary style JSON file with Dictionary plugin?

I created a new dictionary style JSON file via new> dictionary in the File directory. (File name: asdf.json)

How do I use this file?

I have both Dictionary plugin and JSON plugin enabled.

But I couldn't find a way to load asdf.json.

I think the contents of Construct3 Document are too meager.

The manual section pertaining to Dictionary and project files could indeed use a bit a of an addendum on how to load and use project files in dictionaries and the likes.

When you use project files, your first reflex should be to add the AJAX object immediately. That's the only vanilla way of using said files to load stuff.

Documentation on AJAX object : construct.net/make-games/manuals/construct-3/plugin-reference/ajax

Basically, you use the "request project file" action, and when the request is completed, you can load the expression AJAX.LastData inside your dictionary.

I have plenty of examples on how to import JSON into both dictionaries and json objects. It's super easy to use. for example it this brand new tutorial on how to make a city builder, where I load settings for the city from a json file.

hope that helps!
