Deep nested json to array in array / json rendering of Angular 2 *ngFor [duplicate]

Question

I want to list states and types of the following json with angular 2 *ngFor. The parental properties also should be rendered.

var test= {
  '192-168-0-16':{
    'ac395516-96d0-4533-8e0e-efbc68190e':{
      'state':  "none",
      'typ': "test"
    },
    'ac395516-96d0-4533-8e0e-efbc68190e':{
      'state':  "none",
      'typ':  "dummy"
    }
  },
  '222-21-12-12': {
    'ac395516-96d0-4533-8e0e-efbc68190e': {
      'state': "none",
      'typ': "none"
    }
  }

Angular 2:

<div *ngFor='#s of test'> <!-- also other properties should be visible -->
   <div *ngFor='#t of s'>
      {{t.state}} {{t.typ}}
   </div>
</div>

Of course this does not work. Is it possible without many data transforms? I am not sure how to get arrays of arrays of my json.

You need to use array with ngFor. If you want to use objects at this level, you should consider to use a custom pipe.

See this answer for more details:

• How to display json object using *ngFor

Based on this, I would refactor your code this way:

<div *ngFor='#s of (test | keyValues)'>
  <div *ngFor='#t of (s.value | keyValues)'>
   {{t.value.state}} {{t.value.typ}}
  </div>
</div>

with the following pipe:

@Pipe({name: 'keyValues'})
export class KeysPipe implements PipeTransform {
  transform(value, args:string[]) : any {
    let keys = [];
    for (let key in value) {
      keys.push({key: key, value: value[key]);
    }
    return keys;
  }
}
