Ionic3 / Ngx-translate - TranslateHttpLoader with external URL

Question

I\'m loading the translation files from the server using TranslateHttpLoader in my app.module.ts like this:

export function createTranslateLoader(http: Http)         


        

Answer 1

at the end i wrote a custom loader that resolves the requirement:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Headers, Http, Response } from "@angular/http";
import { TranslateLoader } from '@ngx-translate/core';
import { AppConfig } from "./config"
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable'; 


@Injectable()
export class CustomTranslateLoader implements TranslateLoader  {
    contentHeader = new Headers({"Content-Type": "application/json","Access-Control-Allow-Origin":"*"});

    constructor(private http: Http) {}
    getTranslation(lang: string): Observable{
        var apiAddress = AppConfig.API_URL+"/static/i18n/"+ lang+".json";
        return Observable.create(observer => {
          this.http.get(apiAddress, { headers: this.contentHeader }).subscribe((res: Response) => {
                    observer.next(res.json());
                    observer.complete();               
                },
            error => {
                //  failed to retrieve from api, switch to local
                this.http.get("/assets/i18n/en.json").subscribe((res: Response) => {
                    observer.next(res.json());
                    observer.complete();               
                })
            }
            );
        }); 
    }
}

and in app.module.ts

...
import { CustomTranslateLoader } from "../services/trans-loader"
...

@NgModule({
  ...

  imports: [

    TranslateModule.forRoot({
      loader: {
        provide: TranslateLoader,
        useClass: CustomTranslateLoader,
        deps: [Http]
      }
    }), 

  ],
  ...
})
