I'm trying to pass data between a parent and a child page in ionic using Ionic Storage to get the data in an async way.
What is happening is that when I get to the page, the data didn't return from the storage yet and I have an undefined error: ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined.
What I am using:
- A parent page that I click in an item in the grid and it forwards me to the child page, using router.navigate
goToMediaDetails(data) {
this.router.navigate([`slate-list/${data.id}`]);
}
- The child route is listed in the app-routing.module.ts receiving the id
{
path: "slate-list/:mediaId",
loadChildren: () =>
import("./pages/slate-list/slate-list.module").then(
m => m.SlateListPageModule
)
}
- I grab the mediaId in the child's constructor page and use a service to get the data from ionic storage.
import { Component, OnInit } from "@angular/core";
import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from "@angular/router";
//Services
import { MediaService } from "../../services/media.service";
@Component({
selector: "app-slate-list",
templateUrl: "./slate-list.page.html",
styleUrls: ["./slate-list.page.scss"]
})
export class SlateListPage implements OnInit {
public media: any;
private mediaId: number;
constructor(
private route: ActivatedRoute,
private router: Router,
private mediaSvc: MediaService
) {
//if the id is provided in the url, get the media by id using the service
if (route.snapshot.params.mediaId) {
this.mediaId = route.snapshot.params.mediaId;
this.mediaSvc.getMediaById(this.mediaId).then(result => {
this.media = result;
});
}
}
- Here is the service code returning a promise
//GET Media By ID
getMediaById(mediaId) {
let mediaToReturn = new Media();
return new Promise(resolve => {
this.storage.get("media").then(result => {
if (result != null && result.length != 0) {
mediaToReturn = result.find(x => x.id == mediaId);
}
resolve(mediaToReturn);
});
});
}
- Here is the simple html giving the problem
<ion-content>
<ion-grid class="ion-no-padding">
<ion-row>
Slates for <strong>{{media.name}} </strong> / Episode: {{media.episode}}
</ion-row>
</ion-grid>
</ion-content>
Yes, the data is returned using the service, I console.log it right after the .then and the data is there, so I'm assuming that it's just a classic async situation.
I saw I can introduce a loading component, make it show up for 1 second or a bit more and then the data will be there but is that the better/official way to do it?
I'm at the beginning of my journey with ionic/async so forgive me if I made some silly mistake
