Using Angular Http to load local files? #249
Description
Right now, doing this (assuming similar semantics that Image component uses for local src binding):
this.http.get(`~/assets/data.json`)
.map((response: Response) => response.json())
.subscribe((results: string[]) => {
// never gets here
});
Does not work.
Then only way I know to load a local file would be to use something like following:
let app = knownFolders.currentApp();
let localFile = app.getFile(`assets/data.json`);
localFile.readText().then((data) => {
try {
resolve(JSON.parse(data));
} catch (err) {
reject(err);
}
}, (err) => {
reject(err);
});
That of course is not very intuitive to Angular devs.
Is there another way to do this using just Angular's Http?
