Am working on a Single page Application built using Angular 8 on the frontend and Laravel on the backend. It is a CRUD application, on the delete functionality, it is working well by deleting the user of the specific id on the database. After the user of the specific id is deleted, am fetching all the products from the database but I want to update the data on the U.I afresh with the new data (excluding the deleted resource).
Kindly assist?
Show.component.ts file
import { Component, OnInit , ViewChild, ElementRef} from '#angular/core';
import { SharedService } from 'src/app/Services/shared.service';
import { AuthService } from 'src/app/Services/auth.service';
import { Router } from '#angular/router';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { SnotifyService } from 'ng-snotify';
#Component({
selector: 'app-show',
templateUrl: './show.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./show.component.css']
})
export class ShowComponent implements OnInit {
public userData : any[];
public error = null;
constructor(
private Shared : SharedService,
private Auth:AuthService,
private router: Router,
private Notify:SnotifyService
) { }
//Update the data when the DOM loads
ngOnInit() {
this.Shared.checkAll$.subscribe(message => this.userData = message);
}
//Method called when the delete button is triggered from the html
//Inside it we submit the data to the backend via a service and get
//the response
deleteUser(id:number){
return this.Auth.delete(id).subscribe(
data => this.handleDeleteResponse(data),
error => this.handleDeleteError(error)
);
}
//data below contains data from the backend after successful deletion
handleDeleteResponse(data:any){
this.Notify.success(`Successfully Deleted in our records`, {timeout:4000});
}
handleDeleteError(error:any){
console.log(error);
}
}
In you’re handleDeleteResponse method, there is a data if the data is the userData this.userData = data or it’s simple delete the user id from the array in you’re Js in the subscription of your delete method.
Like:
this.userData = this.userData.filter(user => user.id !== idToDelete )
Method 1:
Define a Subject in your service and subscribe to that subject in the service to receive the data. In the component, change the lifecycle hook to 'onChanges'. As soon as the data in the Subject is received/updated (with the deleted records) ngChanges shall reflect it in the DOM.
Method 2:
Track the records on the front-end in the form of list and when the service gives the response of delete as success then delete that very record in the list using ID or any other unique identifier. In this case you need not to populate all the records again.
export class MyComponent implements OnInit, OnChanges {
ngOnChanges() {
// code here
}
ngOnInit() {
// code here
}
}

In an Angular 11 app, I have a simle service that mekes a get request and reads a JSON.
The service:
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '#angular/common/http';
import { Promo } from '../models/promo';
#Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class PromoService {
public apiURL: string;
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {
this.apiURL = `https://api.url.com/`;
}
public getPromoData(){
return this.http.get<Promo>(`${this.apiURL}/promo`);
}
}
In the the component, I need to compare the array of products with the array of campaign products (included in the JSON mantioned above) and higlight the promoted products:
export class ProductCardComponent extends DestroyableComponent implements OnInit, OnChanges
{
public promoData: any;
public promoProducts: any;
public isPromoProduct: boolean = false;
public ngOnInit() {
this.getCampaignData();
}
public ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges): void {
this.getCampaignData();
}
public getPromoData() {
this.promoService.getPromoData().pipe(takeUntil(this.destroyed$)).subscribe(data => {
this.promoData = data;
this.promoProducts = this.promoData.products;
let promoProduct = this.promoProducts.find((product:any) => {
return this.product.unique_identifier == product.unique_identifier;
});
if (promoProduct) {
// Update boolean
this.isPromoProduct = true;
}
});
}
}
In the component's html file (template), I have:
<span *ngIf="isPromoProduct" class="promo">Promo</span>
There are no compilation errors.
The problem
For a reason I have been unable to understand, the template does not react to the change of the variable isPromoProduct and the template is not updated, despite the fact that I call the function inside ngOnInit and ngOnChanges.
Questions:
Where is my mistake?
What is a reliable way to update the template?
subscribing to Observable inside .ts file it's mostly not a best practice.
try to avoid it by using async pipe of Angular.
you need to store the observable in the variable and not the data returned from the observable, for example:
// this variable holds the `observable` itself.
this.promoData$ = this.promoService.getPromoData()
and then in the template you can do it like this:
<div *ngIf="promoData$ | async as promoData">
here you can access the promoData
</div>
you can still use pipe() to map the data etc but avoid the subscribe()
The isPromoProduct boolean is not an input. The ngOnChanges gets triggered for changes on your properties that are decorated with the #Input decorator. For your particular case, you can inject the ChangeDetectorRef and trigger change detection manually:
constructor(private cdr: ChangeDetectorRef) {}
// ...
public getPromoData() {
this.promoService.getPromoData().subscribe(data => {
// ...
if (promoProduct) {
// Update boolean
this.isPromoProduct = true;
this.cdr.detectChanges();
}
});
}
You also don't need to manage httpClient subscriptions. The observables generated by a simple get or post request will complete after they emit the response of the request. You only need to explicitly manage the unsubscribe for hot observables (that you create from subjects that you instantiate yourself).
This is the function I am using to insert orders into the database, which works fine.
async createPackage(){
const itemsRef = this.afDatabase.database.ref(`delivery orders/${this.uid}`);
const userId =
itemsRef.push({packageName: this.packageName, packageSize: this.packageSize, packageDescription: this.packageDescription, packageFrom: this.packageFrom, packageTo: this.packageTo, deliveryDate: this.deliveryDate, receiverNumber: this.receiverNumber, paymentOption: this.paymentOption, UID: this.uid})
this.packageName = '';
this.packageDescription = '';
this.packageFrom = '';
this.packageTo = '';
this.deliveryDate = '';
this.paymentOption = '';
this.receiverNumber = '';
this.packageSize = '';
this.showAlert('Your package delivery order has been successfully taken.', 'You will be contacted by one of our Administrators soon.');
}
here is a screenshot of how it's been structured in the database, the parent node is the user uid for each user, while the child node is the id for each order by each user.
the problem I am having is how to query and display each user's order separately on their dashboard differently on the front end.
For context, the complete files for this answer can be found here: https://gist.github.com/nclarx/ef581b0e1a95a2d43531411fe91a9814
To Query the User's Orders
To query the user's data you need to use a function similar to the following:
getCurrentOrder(): Observable<Order[] | never> {
return this.afAuth.authState // authState is an observable
.pipe( // use pipe
switchMap((user) => { // switchMap gets authState and then lets you return a different observable
// The following returns an observable call to the real-time database:
return user ? this.afDatabase.list<Order>(`delivery-orders/${user.uid}`).valueChanges() // if the user is authenticated an observable with the Orders is returned
: EMPTY; // if the user is not authenticated an empty observable is returned
})
);
}
This isn't an ideal way to do authentication in a larger application. I suggest you look at this video on Authentication with AngularFire https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qP5zw7fjQgo and https://fireship.io/lessons/angularfire-google-oauth/ to create an AuthService that can be used across your application.
Displaying the Orders
To display that information in an Angular component using Observables from AngularFire I suggest the following structure/pattern:
OrderService - contains methods for accessing the database (generate the service with the Angular CLI)
AppComponent - has OrderService injected and calls getCurrentUserOrder() when the component initialises ngOnInit()
Template: app.component.html - the template which uses the async pipe in a *ngFor directive to subscribe/unsubscribe to the observable automatically.
Handing an observable to the template and using the async pipe to subscribe to it is good practice because it means that you do not need to subscribe and unsubscribe from an observable manually.
The files can be found in their entirety here: https://gist.github.com/nclarx/ef581b0e1a95a2d43531411fe91a9814
See the comments in the code for important points about how this works.
The Service: OrderService.ts
import {Injectable} from '#angular/core';
import {EMPTY, Observable} from 'rxjs';
import {AngularFireAuth} from '#angular/fire/auth';
import {switchMap} from 'rxjs/operators';
import {AngularFireDatabase} from '#angular/fire/database';
export interface Order {
// write interfaces for all of your objects and use them
// when defining variables and function return types.
packageName: string;
packageSize: number;
packageDescription: string;
packageFrom: string;
packageTo: string;
deliveryDate: Date;
receiverNumber: number;
paymentOption: string;
UID: string;
}
export class OrderService {
constructor(private afAuth: AngularFireAuth, private afDatabase: AngularFireDatabase) {
}
getCurrentOrder(): Observable<Order[] | never> { // note the use of the interface: Order[], which means returning an array of Orders
return this.afAuth.authState // authState is an observable
.pipe( // use pipe
switchMap((user) => { // switchMap gets authState and then lets you return a different observable
// The following returns an observable call to the real-time database:
return user ? this.afDatabase.list<Order>(`delivery-orders/${user.uid}`).valueChanges() // if the user is authenticated an observable with the Orders is returned
: EMPTY; // if the user is not authenticated an empty observable is returned
// NOTE: this observable is not called until it is subscribed to in the template using the `async pipe`, see
// `app.component.html` where it has `*ngFor="let order of orders$ | async"` <== this is what kicks off the request to the database
})
);
}
}
The Component: app.component.ts
import {Component, OnInit} from '#angular/core';
import {Order, OrderService} from './order.service';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs';
#Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
title = 'ng-fire-so-qtn';
orders$: Observable<Order[]>; // property to hold the observable which will have your array of Orders
constructor(public orderService: OrderService) { // inject the OrderService into the component
}
ngOnInit() {
this.orders$ = this.orderService.getCurrentOrder();
// When this component is initialised it will set the `orders$` property to the `Observable<Order[]>` so it is available in the template
}
}
The Template: app.component.html
<section>
<ul *ngIf="orders$ | async"> <!-- The *ngIf will hide the whole list until the data has arrived-->
<li *ngFor="let order of orders$ | async"> <!-- The *ngFor will loop over and create list items for the orders once the data has arrived-->
{{order.packageName}}: {{order.packageDescription}}
</li>
</ul>
</section>
Thanks everyone, i finally was able to query each user's submission from the firebase realtime database with angular with this few lines of code.
getCurrentUserOrder() {
return this.afAuth.authState.subscribe(user => {
if(user) {
this.userId = user.uid;
console.log(user.uid)
console.log(user.email)
}
this.afDatabase.list(`delivery orders/${this.userId}`).valueChanges().subscribe(
data => {
console.log(data);
this.orders = data;
}
);
});
after importing the AngularFireDatabase and the AngularFireAuth inside the component.On the frontend,
<section *ngFor="let order of orders">
<ion-card>
<ion-item>
<ion-icon name="cube" slot="end"></ion-icon>
<ion-label>{{order.packageName}}</ion-label>
</ion-item>
<ion-card-content>
</ion-card-content>
</ion-card>
</section>
this solves the entire problems completely.
I'm trying to create a Angular Material Table that displays dynamic data coming from an API endpoint but only the Table Header populates the screen without any data in it.
And it also does not throw any error...
Whenever I put hardcoded data, it works. But that's not what I want.
Here it is my table-component.ts file
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
import { ApiService } from '../api.service'
import { MatTableDataSource } from '#angular/material/table';
const COUNTRY_DATA = []
#Component({
selector: 'app-table',
templateUrl: './table.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./table.component.scss']
})
export class TableComponent implements OnInit {
countryJSON;
displayedColumns: string[] = ['name', 'cases', 'deaths', 'recov', 'permill'];
dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(COUNTRY_DATA);
constructor(private apiService: ApiService) {
}
ngOnInit(): void {
this.apiService.getNews().subscribe((dataJSON) => {
this.countryJSON = dataJSON
for (let countryObject of this.countryJSON) {
COUNTRY_DATA.push
({
name: countryObject.country_name,
cases: countryObject.total_cases,
deaths: countryObject.total_deaths,
recov: countryObject.total_recov,
permill: countryObject.case_per_mill
})
}
console.log(COUNTRY_DATA)
})
}
}
As you can see, I'm printing to the console what does COUNTRY_DATA has in it, and I get the expected data: An array of objects
But they don't populate the Table... And it looks like this:
Well, the main problem with your code is that you don't push your array in the datasource, instead, you're instantiating an empty instance.
if you called dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(COUNTRY_DATA); at the position of console.log(COUNTRY_DATA) it should work.
A better approach when receiving an observable response is to use map instead of a loop, here is an answer for mapping
How to map a response from http.get to a new instance of a typed object in Angular 2
P.S. It will much better if you used an interface to introduce your object, and mapped the result in your ApiService and just set it as the value of your datasource in the component.
Searched for a solution in other questions but nothing helped me..
I wish to redirect to url like,
this.router.navigateByUrl('/products');
In which i need to pass the array and need to get it it in the component which has the active link products using skip location change without showing anything in url.
Array will be like,
products = [{"id":1,"name":"Product One","id":2,"name":"Product Three","id":3,"name":"Product Six"}]
I need to pass this entire array in router link and need to retrieve it in another component (products) active link using skipLocation Change true..
Tried with sharedService but i am getting issue of data loading at right point of time and hence i decided to use via router link..
If this is not a good approach, kindly suggest other alternative without using sharedservice..
You can use Angular Services for a large data.
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { Subject } from 'rxjs/Subject';
#Injectable()
export class ExampleService {
private subject = new Subject<any>();
updateRouteData(data) {
this.subject.next(data);
}
routeData(): Observable<any> {
return this.subject.asObservable();
}
}
In your components;
For set route data;
import { ExampleService } from '/example.service'
export class ComponentOne{
constructor(private exampleService:ExampleService){
this.exampleService.updateRouteData(data)
}
You can pass data like;
import { ExampleService } from '/example.service'
export class ComponentTwo{
constructor(private exampleService:ExampleService){
this.exampleService.routeData().subscribe(data => {
console.log(data)
})
}
I'm using Angular Material Data Table in my project. The table is rendering with data
My problem is that I can't update automatically the view when I add new data to the database, every time I should refresh my page.
According to Cdk-table and after reading this tutorial I tried to add live data streaming that to table:
Here's my logique :
import { Component, OnInit } from "#angular/core";
import { MatTableDataSource } from "#angular/material";
import { AjoutprojService } from "../ajoutproj.service";
import { NouveauProjet } from "../models/nouveau-projet";
import { Observable } from "rxjs/Observable";
import 'rxjs/add/observable/merge';
import { DataSource } from "#angular/cdk/collections";
#Component({
selector: "app-liste-projets",
templateUrl: "./liste-projets.component.html",
styleUrls: ["./liste-projets.component.css"]
})
export class ListeProjetsComponent implements OnInit {
constructor( private ajoutProj: AjoutprojService ) {}
nouveauProjet: NouveauProjet[];
nouveauProjet2: NouveauProjet[];
stateExression: string = "inactive";
ngOnInit() {}
displayedColumns = ["Nom projet", "Lead Projet", "effectif"];
dataSource = new UserDataSource(this.ajoutProj);
applyFilter(filterValue: string) {
filterValue = filterValue.trim(); // Remove whitespace
filterValue = filterValue.toLowerCase(); // MatTableDataSource defaults to lowercase matches
//this.dataSource.filter = filterValue;
}
}
export class UserDataSource extends DataSource<any> {
constructor(private ajoutProj: AjoutprojService) {
super();
}
/*returns an observable that emits an array of data.
Whenever the data source emits data to this stream, the table will render an update.*/
connect(): Observable<NouveauProjet[]> {
return this.ajoutProj.getAllProj();
}
disconnect() {}
}
Here's my service
getAllProj(): Observable<NouveauProjet[]> {
return this.http.get<NouveauProjet[]>(
"http://127.0.0.1:8081/api/proj/projets"
);
}
ajoutProj.getAllProj() service is getting right data. but view is not live updating.
HttpClient doesn't stream. You're getting your data only once.
First you'd need a realtime database / backend solution, then you need to connect to that via websocket and listen to changes in the database.
Some frameworks / libraries that I like and package both the client- and serverside of the equation, and make the whole thing a lot easier:
Fireloop - built on top of Loopback 3 on nodejs, provides Angular SDK creation, ie. same models and APIs on client as on server. Typescript, Observables all the way. It's just awesome.
Firebase - "backendless", totally different way of thinking about a "server" from any REST scheme you might be used to.
Meteor - a monolithic framework, probably also very far from what you're used to.
Of course there's always another (very inefficient) way: Poll your DB every X seconds for changes.
import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/switchMap';
export class UserDataSource extends DataSource<any> {
constructor(private ajoutProj: AjoutprojService) {
super();
}
connect(): Observable<NouveauProjet[]> {
const initialDelay = 0; // Time to wait before first poll, after the table has connected to this DataSource
const period = 10000; // Polling period in milliseconds
return Observable.timer(initialDelay, period)
.switchMap(() => this.ajoutProj.getAllProj());
}
disconnect() {}
}
