vuejs2 - How to include local script files in Vue

Question

I have a basic project in VS code, and quite a simple task. I want to include an old javascript file in my project the correct way, so it gets loaded in the browser.
The file should be located in srcassetsscriptsoldLegacyScript.js

I tried this hack: How to add external JS scripts to VueJS Components which injects a <source> tag in the document on runtime. This only works if I put the .js file in the generated public folder in where the compiled files will be. If the file is not in the public folder the browser tries to download the index.html file, which I cannot understand:

If i follow this solution: Importing javascript file for use within vue component I get syntax errors on the import statement:

So how the heck do I overcome this simple task of importing a simple javascript file in my Vue project?
