MY OWN SOLUTION
I created a new component called test in this folder:
I also created a mock called test.json in the assests folder created by angular cli (important):
This mock looks like this:
[
{
"id": 1,
"name": "Item 1"
},
{
"id": 2,
"name": "Item 2"
},
{
"id": 3,
"name": "Item 3"
}
]
In the controller of my component test import follow rxjs like this
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map'
This is important, because you have to map your response from the http get call, so you get a json and can loop it in your ngFor. Here is my code how I load the mock data. I used http get and called my path to the mock with this path this.http.get("/assets/mock/test/test.json"). After this i map the response and subscribe it. Then I assign it to my variable items and loop it with ngFor in my template. I also export the type. Here is my whole controller code:
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { Http, Response } from "@angular/http";
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map'
export type Item = { id: number, name: string };
@Component({
selector: "test",
templateUrl: "./test.component.html",
styleUrls: ["./test.component.scss"]
})
export class TestComponent implements OnInit {
items: Array<Item>;
constructor(private http: Http) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.http
.get("/assets/mock/test/test.json")
.map(data => data.json() as Array<Item>)
.subscribe(data => {
this.items = data;
console.log(data);
});
}
}
And my loop in it's template:
<div *ngFor="let item of items">
{{item.name}}
</div>
It works as expected! I can now add more mock files in the assests folder and just change the path to get it as json. Notice that you have also to import the HTTP and Response in your controller. The same in you app.module.ts (main) like this:
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpModule, JsonpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { TestComponent } from './components/molecules/test/test.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
TestComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
HttpModule,
JsonpModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
