Understanding ngFor with Nested Arrays in Angular

When working with Angular, one common challenge developers face is manipulating and displaying data from complex APIs. This often involves nested arrays, which can be tricky, especially when you want to display specific items from them. In this post, we will explore how to effectively use ngFor to iterate over multiple nested arrays, focusing on displaying key attributes like quantity (qte), product label (libelle), and depot name (nom_depot).

The Problem

You may encounter a situation like the following, where you receive data in the form of a nested array from an API. For instance, you fetch the following array of arrays:

You want to display the quantity, product label, and depot name in a table format using Angular's *ngFor. However, you face a common issue: the code doesn't function as expected and generates no output.

The Solution

To handle this challenge effectively, you need to understand how to correctly iterate through the nested arrays and reference the items. Here’s a step-by-step approach on how to achieve this.

Step 1: Structure Your Data Properly

First, ensure your data is structured correctly in the component. Here's how you can set up your data in the component's TypeScript file:

Step 2: Utilize ngFor with Proper Indexing

Next, when displaying the data in the template, it's important to access the elements correctly. Given the data structure of an array of arrays, you need to use indexing. Here’s how to set up your HTML:

Explanation:

let data of datas iterates over the outer array.

let i = index allows you to track the current index in each iteration.

data[i]?.depot.nom_depot safely accesses the depot name, where data[i]? ensures you don't run into null errors if the array is empty.

Step 3: Handling Empty Arrays

Make sure to handle cases where the inner arrays might be empty. The optional chaining operator ?. prevents runtime errors by checking if data[i] exists before trying to access its properties.

Conclusion

By following these structured steps, you can effectively utilize Angular's ngFor to iterate over nested arrays and display the desired data attributes accurately. This approach not only cleans up your code but also helps avoid common pitfalls associated with working with complex data structures.
