I've seen many similar problems regarding this problem on this site, but they tend to be either too specific (with Django, Python, Spring, etc) or too outdated.
I am using Angular 5 and Bootstrap, using Chrome to debug, and my GET request does not GET, or give me any errors, or do anything, really. With zero output, I am not sure what I'm doing wrong.
My .ts file code:
onNameKeyUp(event:any) {
this.id = event.target.value; //sets input to the object's id
this.found = false;
}
getProf() {
this.httpClient.get(`api_url/${this.id}`)
.subscribe(
(data:any[]) => {
if(data.length) {
this.name = data[0].name;
this.id = data[0].id;
this.found = true;
}
}
)
}
My component.html code:
<input type="text" (keyup)="onNameKeyUp($event)">
<button type="button" (click)="getProf()">Get Profile</button>
<div *ngIf="found">
<div>{{this.name}}'s id is {{this.id}}</div>
</div>
replace this.name
with name
and this.id
with id
in your HTML
Add error => to see the error, and then from there debug. You should see in your network tab if 404, 500, 200 etc.
this.httpClient.get(`api_url/${this.id}`)
.subscribe(
(data:any[]) => {
if(data.length) {
this.name = data[0].name;
this.id = data[0].id;
this.found = true;
}
},
error => {
console.log('See Error: ', error);
}
)
In your code, data is an array and is a type of class or interface. I would define a profile of that type above your constructor like so,
profile: any;
constructor(...) {}
If you are getting a valid data:
if(data.length) {
this.name = data[0].name;
this.id = data[0].id;
this.found = true;
console.log(data); // ---------> this should be an array (F12 developers tool).
this.profile = data[0]; // should not give you an exception error.
}
}
Then in you html code.
<div *ngIf="found">
<div>{{profile?.name}}'s id is {{profile?.id}}</div>
</div>
? -* Don't forget to include this. If this does not work, let me know and I'd be happy to help. Happy coding..
