Nx: How to handle API urls.

[Sharique-Hasan]

How to handle API path for Web and Ionic. I have my all api requests in libs. And Web part doesn't need IP address where as Ionic App needs IP address. How do I differ in between them?

You could have an APIModule that takes an argument for the address, and initialize it in both your Web app and Ionic app.

libs/api/src/api.module.ts

export const API_HOST = new InjectionToken('API_HOST');

@NgModule()
export class ApiModule {
  static forRoot(host: string) {
    return {
      ngModule: ApiModule,
      providers: [{
        provide: API_HOST,
        useValue: host
      }]
    }
  }
}

apps/mobile/src/app.module.ts

imports: [
  ApiModule.forRoot(SOME_IP_ADDRESS)
]

apps/web/src/app.module.ts

imports: [
  ApiModule.forRoot('')
]
