What is the correct way to get json data from an http get in Angular 2. I am working on testing some local data with a mocked endpoint, and I can see the result in the http.get()
but I cannot assign it locally or there is some timing issue. Here is my simple service:
import {Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import {Http} from '@angular/http';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map'; // we need to import this now
@Injectable()
export class MyHttpService {
constructor(private _http:Http) {}
getDataObservable(url:string) {
return this._http.get(url)
.map(data => {
data.json();
console.log("I CAN SEE DATA HERE: ", data.json());
});
}
}
And here is how i'm trying to assign the data:
import {Component, ViewChild} from "@angular/core";
import { MyHttpService } from '../../services/http.service';
@Component({
selector: "app",
template: require<any>("./app.component.html"),
styles: [
require<any>("./app.component.less")
],
providers: []
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit, AfterViewInit {
private dataUrl = 'http://localhost:3000/testData'; // URL to web api
testResponse: any;
constructor(private myHttp: MyHttpService) {
}
ngOnInit() {
this.myHttp.getDataObservable(this.dataUrl).subscribe(
data => this.testResponse = data
);
console.log("I CANT SEE DATA HERE: ", this.testResponse);
}
}
I can see the data I want in the get() call but I don't seem to have access to it after that call...please tell me what i'm doing wrong!
