Javascript – How to load a local json file to make a bar race chart?

I’m using this code and it works fine with a json available in Internet but I can’t figure out how to load this same json from my computer.

I think we need to change these statements :

dataset = await fetch(
    'https://demo-live-data.highcharts.com/population.json'
).then(response => response.json());

Any help is appreciated guys 😉

EDIT :

Here is the full code :

const startYear = 1960,
    endYear = 2018,
    btn = document.getElementById('play-pause-button'),
    input = document.getElementById('play-range'),
    nbr = 20;

let dataset, chart;


/*
 * Animate dataLabels functionality
 */
(function (H) {
    const FLOAT = /^-?d+.?d*$/;

    // Add animated textSetter, just like fill/strokeSetters
    H.Fx.prototype.textSetter = function () {
        let startValue = this.start.replace(/ /g, ''),
            endValue = this.end.replace(/ /g, ''),
            currentValue = this.end.replace(/ /g, '');

        if ((startValue || '').match(FLOAT)) {
            startValue = parseInt(startValue, 10);
            endValue = parseInt(endValue, 10);

            // No support for float
            currentValue = Highcharts.numberFormat(
                Math.round(startValue + (endValue - startValue) * this.pos),
                0
            );
        }

        this.elem.endText = this.end;

        this.elem.attr(this.prop, currentValue, null, true);
    };

    // Add textGetter, not supported at all at this moment:
    H.SVGElement.prototype.textGetter = function () {
        const ct = this.text.element.textContent || '';
        return this.endText ? this.endText : ct.substring(0, ct.length / 2);
    };

    // Temporary change label.attr() with label.animate():
    // In core it's simple change attr(...) => animate(...) for text prop
    H.wrap(H.Series.prototype, 'drawDataLabels', function (proceed) {
        const attr = H.SVGElement.prototype.attr,
            chart = this.chart;

        if (chart.sequenceTimer) {
            this.points.forEach(point =>
                (point.dataLabels || []).forEach(
                    label =>
                        (label.attr = function (hash) {
                            if (hash && hash.text !== undefined) {
                                const text = hash.text;

                                delete hash.text;

                                return this
                                    .attr(hash)
                                    .animate({ text });
                            }
                            return attr.apply(this, arguments);

                        })
                )
            );
        }

        const ret = proceed.apply(
            this,
            Array.prototype.slice.call(arguments, 1)
        );

        this.points.forEach(p =>
            (p.dataLabels || []).forEach(d => (d.attr = attr))
        );

        return ret;
    });
