First in the Component, you have to declare the array you want to show:

import { Component } from "@angular/core";

@Component({
  templateUrl:"home.html"
})
export class HomePage {

  displayData : [];

  constructor() {
    this.displayData = [
      {
        "text": "item 1",
        "value": 1
      },
      {
        "text": "item 2",
        "value": 2
      },
      {
        "text": "item 3",
        "value": 3
      },
      {
        "text": "item 4",
        "value": 4
      },
      {
        "text": "item 5",
        "value": 5
      },
    ];
  }
}

If you want to change the values in the code, you can do it by doing:

// We iterate the array in the code
for(let data of this.displayData) {
  data.value = data.value + 5;
}

And then in your View you can print them like this:

<ion-content class="has-header">
  <ion-list *ngFor="let data of displayData; let i = index" no-lines>
    <ion-item>Index: {{ i }} - Text: {{ data.text }} - Value: {{ data.value }}</ion-item>
  </ion-list>
</ion-content>

Please notice that part *ngFor="let data of displayData" where:

• displayData is the array we defined in the Component
• let data of ... defines a new variable called data, which represents each of the elements of the displayData array.
• we can access the properties for each array element by using that data variable, and interpolation like {{ data.propertyName }}.
