react-native - Image require local path from JSON

I am working on a testapp in react-native and try to get Images from a local storage place. Actual what I am doing: I give an image directlink source to a var and call this method at my render function.

*react: ^0.14.8 ||**react-native: ^0.23.1||**npm: 2.15.1 ||**node: v4.4.4*

Working:

ImageCall-File (Imagefile.js)

var samplepicture;setPicture(){    samplepicture= require('./images/picture.png')}render() {     this.setPicture;     return(<Image source=samplepicture/>    ); }

The code snippet above works in a created class which is named after (Imagefile.js)

The method above works pretty fine.

Now I'm where I want to get to > I want to save the image file in a separate js file which is styled like a JSON object.

Not working:

JS_JSON_File (pictureRef.js)

module.exports = {"pictureRef": {"picture": './images/picture.png'}}

ImageCall_File (Imagefile.js)

var pictureRef = require('./pictureRef.js');var samplepicture;setPicture(){    samplepicture= require(pictureRef.pictureRef.picture);}render() {     this.setPicture;     return(<Image source=samplepicture/>    ); }

Debug the samplepicture:samplepicture = ./images/picture.png

Not sure if it is relevant but because it is a string it is formatted without the ''. Also keep in mind that I need to set the image source by the setPicture() function for my code.

*I debugged both versions of code and had the same output:

• Version 1: samplepicture = ./images/picture.png
• Version 2: samplepicture = ./images/picture.png

Please keep in mind that this is my first question and I really hoped to format everything right. Also I searched for many related issue´s and didn't find any solution

Thanks for your help.
