Unable to display image from JSON API in Angular


JSON API

teams": [

    {
        "logo": "/wp-content/themes/squiggle/assets/images/Adelaide.jpg",
        "abbrev": "ADE",
        "name": "Adelaide",
        "id": 1
    },

component.ts

  teams = [];

  responseData: any

constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

ngOnInit(): void {
    this.http.get("https://api.squiggle.com.au/?q=teams").subscribe((res: any) => {
      this.responseData = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(res))["teams"];
    },
      err => {
        console.log(err);
      },
      () => {
        console.log(this.responseData);
      }
    )
  }

HTML File

 <tr *ngFor="let team of responseData">
          <td>{{team.id}}</td>
          <td>{{team.abbrev}}</td>
          <td><img [src]="{{team.logo}}" alt="image"</td>
          <td>{{team.name}}</td>
 </tr>

The HttpClient is working fine and display it perfectly except of the images. The image are being displayed as "/wp-content/themes/squiggle/assets/images/Adelaide.jpg". I have tried using img tag with src[] but does not seem to fix.


Solution

  • It appears the logos are under the domain https://squiggle.com.au whereas the API is under https://api.squiggle.com.au/. So you might have to manually concatenate the domain for each element of the array. I've modified the data extraction as well using RxJS pipe and map. Try the following

    IMG_BASE_URL = 'https://squiggle.com.au';
    
    ngOnInit() {
      this.http.get("https://api.squiggle.com.au/?q=teams")
        .pipe(map(teams => {
          const result = teams['teams'];
          result.forEach(team => team['logo'] = this.IMG_BASE_URL + team['logo'] );
          return result;
        }))
        .subscribe(
          res => { this.responseData = res; },
          err => { console.log(err); },
          () => { console.log(this.responseData); }
        );
    }
    

    Also the URL binding to img should either be using data binding syntax [src]="team.logo" or data interpolation syntax src="{{team.logo}}". They shouldn't be mixed together, please notice the square brackets.

    Template

    <tr *ngFor="let team of responseData">
      <td>{{team.id}}</td>
      <td>{{team.abbrev}}</td>
      <td><img [src]="team.logo" alt="image"></td>
      <td>{{team.name}}</td>
    </tr>
