How to Change Data in .config.ts File in Angular

Angular is a powerful framework for building dynamic web applications. However, developers often face challenges when it comes to modifying configuration files like .config.ts. If you are working with a menu system that loads configuration from a file and want to update menu item counts based on API data, you've come to the right place! In this guide, we'll explore how to handle data changes effectively in Angular.

The Problem: Updating Menu Item Counts

In this case, you are looking to bind counts from an API to your menu items defined in the menu.config.ts file. Here’s a snippet of the MenuConfig class that you're working with:

This structure holds static data that is not easily modifiable at runtime without some considerations. Let's dive into how you can dynamically update this data.

The Solution: Strategies for Updating Data

You may find that directly modifying files at runtime is not feasible in Angular due to security and performance concerns. Instead, consider using one of the following approaches:

1. State Management

Using a state management solution like NgRx allows you to manage state across your application efficiently. Here’s how to implement this:

Step 1: Set up an NgRx store in your Angular application.

Step 2: Define actions and reducers to handle menu item count updates.

Step 3: Use selectors to retrieve updated counts in your menu component.

2. Local Storage

If you want to persist counts between sessions, you can also use the browser’s local storage:

Store the counts directly in localStorage when you fetch data from your API.

Retrieve and update these values as needed when your menu component initializes.

3. Scoped Variables

You can manage counts as scoped variables within your components:

Fetch counts from your API and store them as properties within your component.

Bind these properties to your template directly.

4. Live Database (Local or Remote)

For more comprehensive applications, consider using a live database either locally or remotely:

Fetch counts through API calls upon component initialization.

Use Angular services to update the menu items dynamically based on the API response.

Menu Component HTML Binding

Here's how you might bind your dynamic counts from one of the above strategies in your menu template:

Conclusion

Modifying data in a static configuration file like menu.config.ts poses challenges, but with the right approach, you can bind dynamic data fetched from APIs effectively. Whether you choose state management, local storage, or a database, each method has its benefits depending on the use case of your application.

By applying these strategies, you'll enhance your menu interactivity and keep your application responsive for users. Happy coding!
