Answer 1

After dig down a lot regarding this issue i manage to answer my own question.
To read text file in react-native we have to create bare react-native project.
Read this link about manage and bare project for react-native : expo-managed-vs-bare.
After eject expo project or creating bare react-native project you can use library react-native-fs, which have ability to read text file and display in Text component.
For Android,
Create an assets Folder inside your-project-file\android\app\src\main
To read this folder assets use this snippet,
import * as RNFS from 'react-native-fs';
RNFS.readFileAssets(path to your file inside assets folder).then(result => {
console.log(result);
}).catch(err => {
console.log(err);
});
This will help to read text file inside your project for android only.

As #james Liu,the simplest way is to organize your data as json an load it like this:
const data = require("./mydata.json");
By doing this you get an JS object you can easily handle in your code
