What's a good practice to deal with global strings in angular?
In our angular application we have a few hardcoded strings across the app (things like labels, error messages, validation messages) and would like to organize that mess a bit. I read a few answers on stackoverflow about global strings but I couldn't understand if this is a bad practice or not (for example here they say it's a bad thing).
To me it feels like a regular problem to have, so what are the good practices to deal with global variables in Angular?

a part of the environment files we have some files like app.const.ts and we export constants. Like this: export const col_type = {}

Honestly, to each his own preference. But global variables are indeed bad, we can all agree on that. My preferred way is Injection Tokens and factories, as you can inject the strings directly as dependencies of your components.

If the strings change when you change an environment (for instance URLs), you can use the environment files to manage them.

You can externalize all of this in json configuration files, loaded at launch. It allows to reuse them multiple time. Moreover, you can define multiple configurations for multiple environments.
