Angular - Deploying a JSON file to firebase

Question

Summary

• I have an angular project with a JSON file with mock data
• When I build the project, I stick the JSON file into the 'dist' folder
• I have an angular service which references the JSON file
• I deploy to firebase and receive an error
• Please excuse lack of knowledge here, exceptionally new to this

Questions

1. Is it possible to use a JSON file whilst working in LocalHost?
2. What have I done wrong with the deployment to firebase?

Service

 import { IProjects } from './projects.interface'; @Injectable() export class ProjectsService { private _projectURL = '/dist/projects-list.json'; constructor(private _http: Http) { } getProjects(): Observable<IProjects[]> { return this._http.get(this._projectURL) .map((response: Response) => <IProjects[]> response.json()) .do(data => console.log('All: ' + JSON.stringify(data))) .catch(this.handleError); } getProject(id: number): Observable<IProjects> { return this.getProjects() .map((projects: IProjects[]) => projects.find(p => p.projectId === id)); } private handleError(error: Response) { console.error(error); return Observable.throw(error.json().error || 'Server error'); } } 

List Component that displays the list of projects

 export class ProjectsListComponent implements OnInit { pageTitle = "Project List"; errorMessage: string; projects: IProjects[]; constructor(private _projectsService: ProjectsService) { } ngOnInit(): void { this._projectsService.getProjects() .subscribe(projects => this.projects = projects, error => this.errorMessage = <any>error); } onRatingClicked(message: string): void { this.pageTitle = 'Project List: ' + message; } } 

Error Received in the browser

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Answer 1

you need add your mock json file in the assets folder in your angular project.

and you can access like this

getProjects(): Observable<IProjects[]> {
        return this._http.get("assets/projects-list.json")
            .map((response: Response) => <IProjects[]> response.json())
            .do(data => console.log('All: ' +  JSON.stringify(data)))
            .catch(this.handleError);
    }

Note:- you need add static file like image or config file in the assets folder. angular can only access assets folder.
