How to disable fast-refresh?

[alexey-luchinsky]

Hi,

I am trying to create some react application and there is one problem that I do not know how to solve. The application uses information loaded from a text file located in ./public directory. Every time I update the content of the file, my application reloads completely. Could you please tell if it is possible to download the file from outside this directory or prevent refreshing when the file is changed?

My app was created with "npm create-react-app" command with the default settings

Thank you very much in advance!
