Angular 4/5 HttpClient: Argument of type string is

问题:

The Angular docs say:

The response body doesn't return all the data you may need. Sometimes servers return special headers or status codes to indicate certain conditions, and inspecting those can be necessary. To do this, you can tell HttpClient you want the full response instead of just the body with the observe option:

http
  .get<MyJsonData>('/data.json', {observe: 'response'})
  .subscribe(resp => {
    // Here, resp is of type HttpResponse<MyJsonData>.
    // You can inspect its headers:
    console.log(resp.headers.get('X-Custom-Header'));
    // And access the body directly, which is typed as MyJsonData as requested.
    console.log(resp.body.someField);
  });

But when I try that, I get a compilation time error (no runtime errors though, works as expected):

error TS2345: Argument of type '{ headers: HttpHeaders; observe: string; }' is not assignable to parameter of type '{ headers?: HttpHeaders | { [header: string]: string | string[]; }; observe?: "body"; params?: Ht...'. Types of property 'observe' are incompatible. Type 'string' is not assignable to type '"body"'.

Why? I use "@angular/http": "^5.1.0"

Here is my version of the code:

  login(credentials: Credentials): Observable<any> {
    const options = {
      headers: new HttpHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}),
      observe: 'response'
    };
    return this.httpClient.post<any>(`${environment.USER_SERVICE_BASE_URL}`,
      {'username': credentials.username, 'password': credentials.password}, options)
      .map((res) => ...

You have to inline the options. See github ticket #18586, entry by alxhub on August 9 2017.

Typescript needs to be able to infer the observe and responseType values statically, in order to choose the correct return type for get(). If you pass in an improperly typed options object, it can't infer the right return type.

login(credentials: Credentials): Observable<any> {
    return this.httpClient.post<any>(`${environment.USER_SERVICE_BASE_URL}`,
      {'username': credentials.username, 'password': credentials.password}, {
      headers: new HttpHeaders({'Content-Type': 'application/json'}),
      observe: 'response'
    })
      .map((res) => ...

Typescript complains about this problem

Type 'string' is not assignable to type "body"

To solve this, convert string to body manually. Example:

    const httpOptions = {
      headers: new HttpHeaders({
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
      }),
      observe: 'response' as 'body'
    };
    return this.http.post<any>(url, data, httpOptions);

The way I got around this, without inline-ing the options (which can lead to code that's not as clean) was to create an interface for the request options. Code looks like this :

export interface IRequestOptions {
    body?: any;
    headers?: HttpHeaders | { [header: string]: string | Array<string> };
    observe?: any;
    params?: HttpParams | { [param: string]: string | Array<string> };
    reportProgress?: boolean;
    responseType?: "arraybuffer" | "blob" | "json" | "text";
    withCredentials?: boolean;
}

Then this is used as such :

const options: IRequestOptions = {
    headers: new HttpHeaders({"Content-Type": "application/json"}),
    observe: "response"
};
return this.httpClient.post(`${environment.USER_SERVICE_BASE_URL}`,
    {"username": credentials.username, "password": credentials.password}, options)
    .pipe(
        map((res: HttpResponse<any>) => ...
    );
