Fetching data from multiple servers with Angular frondend

We are developing an ERP with multiple back-ends running on various servers, for example,
hr at abc.com/hr/api
finance at xyz.com/api
and so on



But we have single front-end Angular 6 application, we may be fetching data from various servers at a time.



I am new to Angular, but what little bit I know is we can define variables in environment.ts for either development , production or test server, but what If I bypass enviroment.ts settings with what ever http url I want.
Thanks

  • I think you still can use env file by making the variables for URLs and use them according to your need inside your service while making API calls.

I am not a pro either in Angular. Have been working on Angular from 6 months now.



So upto my knowledge, the preferred practice is to declare the Base Url in the environment.ts. When you BUILD the angular project it only takes the PROD environment.ts.



Now, coming to your question "but what If I bypass enviroment.ts settings with what ever http url I want."
What I understand is
if you don't define the base url in the environment.ts file you'll have to declare it in any of your component, that kind of works but if you someday have to change your Base url you'll have to change the link from each and every component you are using it in. So better stick with environment.ts.



I hope that answers your question rightly.
