How do I pass/save and push the input data to a web service in ionic 2/angular 2?


I am trying to create a comment form with ratings. In this form , i have added the way for users to rate the app and comment aswell. I am pretty new to angular 2 and kind of struggling how I can save this user entered data and/or push it to a custom web service, to retrieve it next time i open the form. Here's the code so far: comment-star.html:

<ion-header class="top-header">
  <ion-toolbar color="primary">
    <ion-title class="my-title">
      {{title}}
    </ion-title>
    <ion-buttons start>
      <button ion-button (click)="dismiss('')">
      <span showWhen="ios">x</span>
      <ion-icon name="md-close" showWhen="android,windows"></ion-icon>
    </button>
    </ion-buttons>
  </ion-toolbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-content padding no-bounce>
  <ion-label class="label">How would you rate our app?</ion-label>
 <ion-grid no-padding no-margin class="ion-rating-container">
    <ion-row>

<fieldset class="rating">
    <input type="radio" 
        value="5" 
        [name]="inpustName"
        [checked]="rating===5" />
    <label title="Excellent!" (click)='onClick(5)'>5 stars</label>

    <input type="radio" 
        value="4" 
        [name]="inpustName"
        [checked]="rating===4" />
    <label title="Pretty good" (click)='onClick(4)'>4 stars</label>

    <input type="radio" 
        value="3" 
        [name]="inpustName"
        [checked]="rating===3" />
    <label title="Satisfactory" (click)='onClick(3)'>3 stars</label>

    <input type="radio" 
        value="2" 
        [name]="inpustName"
        [checked]="rating===2" />
    <label title="Not good" (click)='onClick(2)'>2 stars</label>

    <input type="radio" 
        value="1" 
        [name]="inpustName"
        [checked]="rating===1" />
    <label title="Terrible" (click)='onClick(1)'>1 star</label>
</fieldset>

</ion-row>
  </ion-grid>
  <ion-label class="label">Tell us how we can improve our app?</ion-label>

  <ion-textarea no-bounce class="text-area" rows="11" placeholder="Add a review"></ion-textarea>
  <button ion-button class="button-text"round (click)="dismiss('')">Submit</button> 


</ion-content>

Any tutorials or links to do that will be helpful too.


Solution

  • Your question implies you do not have a web service. So my recommendation would be to make a REST Api with .net core and POST and GET request to that api to save and retrieve the data.

    To save it locally, in ionic 2, I recommend the Storage plugin shown in the Ionic v2 docs: https://ionicframework.com/docs/storage/

    I created a service, called StorageService where I do all my setting and getting of local data.

    The service:

    import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
    import { Platform } from 'ionic-angular';
    import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage';
    
    @Injectable()
    export class StorageService {
    
      public storageKeys: string[] = ['ratings', 'user']
    
      constructor(public storage: Storage) { }
    
      // AUTH STORAGE
      public setRatingStorage(rating: any[]) {
        this.storage.set('ratings', {ratings: ratings, time: Date.now()})
          .catch(error => console.log(JSON.stringify(error)));
      }
    
      public getRatingStorage() {
        return this.storage.get('ratings')
          .catch(error => console.log(JSON.stringify(error)));
      }
      // ...
    }
    

    The component/other service injecting StorageService

    setRatings(ratings: any[]) {
        // Ratings is an array of ratings that you should push to, then
          // when you want to save/confirm the rating, call this and set
          // the storage. So that you can retrieve it later or in other
          // places throughout the application.
        this._storage.setRatingStorage(ratings);
    }
    
    getRatings(): Promise<any> {
       this._storage.getRatingStorage()
           .then(storedRatingData => {
               of(storedRatingData && storedRatingData..length > 0) 
                   // Where this.ratings is a local variable that you can manipulate/display
                   this.ratings = storedRatingData.ratings;
           }).catch(err => console.log(err));
    }
