💻 Code Examples

• functions from post.service.ts to get all posts and a selected post.

getPosts = async (): Promise<any> => {
    let postsArray = [];
    const postCollectionRef = collection(db, "posts");
    const querySnapshot = await getDocs(query(postCollectionRef));
    querySnapshot.forEach(doc => {
      alert;
      postsArray.push({ id: doc.id, ...doc.data() });
      postsArray.sort((a, b) => b.published - a.published);
    });
    return postsArray;
  };

  showFullPost = (post: Post): void => {
    this.currentPost = post;
    this.router.navigate(["/post-detail"]);
  };
  

🆒 Features

• HTML template uses the Angular async pipe to subscribe to the posts Observable and to unsubscribe automatically in the onDestroy lifecycle, avoiding memory leaks.
