Update a single property of local JSON file using put call in Angular 8

Question

I want to update my JSON file which I have placed in my assets folder, so If I am updating just one property of my JSON object so it should update that property only, without affecting any other properties value:

Let the sample code be :

loginInterface.ts

export interface loginModel {
    Email: string;
    Password: string;
}

login.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http'
import { loginModel } from './loginModel'

@Component({
  selector: 'app-login',
  templateUrl: './login.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./login.component.css']
})
export class LoginComponent implements OnInit {


  private _jsonURL = 'assets/Login.json';
  private login: Array<loginModel>;

constructor(
    private http: HttpClient) {
    this.login = new Array<loginModel>();
  }
ngOnInit() {
    this.getLoginData();
  }

  getLoginData() {
    this.http.get<loginModel[]>(this._jsonURL).subscribe(data => {
      this.login = data;
      console.log(this.login);
      return this.login;
    });
  }

UpdateLoginData() {
// How to proceed on this one??
  }
}

login.component.html

<div *ngFor = "let log of login">
    {{log.Email}} 
    <input [ngModel]="log.Password">
</div>
<button (click)="UpdateLoginData()">Update</button>

This is just an example.

So if I am changing password at one place and clicking on update button , then it should update password of that specific Email only and I don't want to replace the whole file with new JSON object just for updating a single value, is this possible?

Answer 1

您不能直接通过 angular 更改 JSON 文件的内容，您需要后端来反映该 JSON 文件上的更改。

Answer 2

No! You cannot change a file's content using Angular. It is a file I/O operation that is handled by a backend framework/language (for example Node.JS) having file system API. You can create a RESTful API to modify the contents of the file and make an HTTP call from Angular.

Answer 3

You can't do any file operation using just angular framework. You need server side implementation to achieve this. If you are not familiar with server side programming you can try using in memory angular database api.
