how do i assign data from the subscribe call to a local variable in Angular

I have tried to declare the variable inside the ngOnInit() but it goes out of scope. I would like to use the variable to iterate over the data and populate my html component. I have followed the answered questions on the same issue but most of them suggest calling a function inside the subscribe function, unfortunately in my case i just need to view the returned data.
import { Component, OnInit } from "#angular/core";
import { Playlist } from "../playlist";
import { PlaylistService } from "../playlist.service";
#Component({
selector: "app-market-place",
templateUrl: "./market-place.component.html",
styleUrls: ["./market-place.component.css"],
})
export class MarketPlaceComponent implements OnInit {
_playList: Playlist[] = []; //never gets assigned here
errorMessage;
constructor(private playListService: PlaylistService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.playListService.getPlaylist().subscribe({
next: (playList) => {
this._playList = playList;
console.log(this._playList); // am able to log the data but its never assigned to my _playList variable
},
error: (err) => (this.errorMessage = err),
});
}
}
here is the service class
import { Injectable } from "#angular/core";
import {HttpClient, HttpErrorResponse} from '#angular/common/http'
import { Observable, throwError } from "rxjs";
import {catchError, map, tap} from 'rxjs/operators'
import { Playlist } from "./playlist";
#Injectable({
providedIn: "root",
})
export class PlaylistService {
private playListUrl = "https://reqres.in/api/users";
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
getPlaylist():Observable<Playlist[]> {
return this.http.get<Playlist[]>(this.playListUrl).pipe(
map((response) => <Playlist[]>response),
catchError(this.handleError),
);
}
private handleError(err:HttpErrorResponse){
let errorMessage = '';
if (err.error instanceof ErrorEvent){
errorMessage = `An error occurred: ${err.error.message}`
}else {
errorMessage = `Server returned code: ${err.status}, error message is: ${err.message}`;
}
console.error(errorMessage);
return throwError(errorMessage)
}
}

I do not know, what your Playlist object looks like, but maybe I have a simple idea, that could solve your issue. I suppose that console.log can not show the array of your objects. Did you try the following?
console.log(this._playList[0]);

Angular method returns undefined

As a beginner, I facing a problem with Angular and Observables. I have API for getting information about one specific restaurant in the database, but I have to get it with a POST request. I successfully get restaurantID from auth.service and another API when the restaurant is logged in, But when I tried to log restaurant in console, I get undefined. Uniformly I don't have permission to show API here. The code:
restaurant.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '#angular/common/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { Restaurant } from '../models/Restaurant';
import { LoggedRestaurant } from '../models/LoggedRestaurant';
#Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class RestaurantService {
private restaurantUrl = 'xxxxxxxxxxxx';
public restaurant: Restaurant;
public loggedRestaurant: LoggedRestaurant
public restaurantID;
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
public getRestaurant(): Observable<LoggedRestaurant> {
return this.http.post<LoggedRestaurant>(this.restaurantUrl, this.restaurantID);
}
}
informacije.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';
import { RestaurantService } from '../services/restaurant.service';
import { Restaurant } from '../models/Restaurant';
import { LoggedRestaurant } from '../models/LoggedRestaurant';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
#Component({
selector: 'app-informacije',
templateUrl: './informacije.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./informacije.component.scss']
})
export class InformacijeComponent implements OnInit {
restaurant: Restaurant;
loggedRestaurant: LoggedRestaurant;
restaurantID;
constructor(private restaurantService: RestaurantService, private authService: AuthService ) { }
getRestaurant() {
return this.restaurantService.getRestaurant()
}
ngOnInit() {
this.restaurant = this.authService.currRestaurant[0];
console.log(this.restaurant)
console.log(this.loggedRestaurant)
this.restaurantID = this.restaurant.id;
console.log(this.restaurantID)
this.restaurantService.restaurantID =this.restaurantID;
}
}

httpClient.post() returns an observable (RXJS). So you need to subscribe to that. Otherwise, you may use the async pipe.
in your html, you can try this,
<span>{{getRestaurant() | aync}}</span>
OR,
you can declare a variable in your ts like data, and,
this.restaurantService.getRestaurant().subscribe(payload => {
this.data = payload;
})
and in your html, you can add,
<span *ngIf="data">{{data}}</span>

You need to subscribe to your API call.
In informacije.component.ts
getRestaurant() {
return this.restaurantService.getRestaurant()
.subscribe(data => this.restaurant = data);
}
This will asign the value returned by your service to your restaurant field in an asynchronous fashion.

In ngOnInit() call getRestaurant as follows
async ngOnInit() {
let restaurant = await this.getRestaurant().toPromise();
...
}

Cannot access variable outside the subscription

I have an component in angular. I get data from the API and I instantiate a new object to create a map. But I can't access a variable outside the subscribe function. I also can't access my method.
maps.service.ts
This part, get data form api
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import {HttpClient} from '#angular/common/http';
#Injectable()
export class MapsService {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }
getMap(params) {
console.log('Service', params);
return this.http.get('/api/posts/' + params.id);
}
}
map.component.ts
Here, where I build the map with google in the future
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
import {MapsService} from '../maps.service';
import {ActivatedRoute} from '#angular/router';
import {MapPath} from '../map-path';
#Component({
selector: 'app-maps',
templateUrl: './maps.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./maps.component.css']
})
export class MapsComponent implements OnInit {
results: any;
params: {};
test: any;
constructor(
private mapsService: MapsService,
private route: ActivatedRoute,
) { }
ngOnInit() {
this.route.params.subscribe( params => {
this.params = params;
});
this.mapsService.getMap(this.params).subscribe(
data => {
this.results = data;
this.test = new MapPath(data, 'test');
},
err => {
console.log('Error occured', err);
});
console.log('this.test', this.test.getX());
console.log('this.results', this.results);
}
}
map-path.ts
Here get the different properties from geoJSON
export class MapPath {
test: string;
constructor(path: any, test: string) {
this.test = test;
console.log('Path', path);
console.log('test', test);
}
getX() {
return this.test;
}
}
Thanks.

Your problem is that Observables are async functions, meaning your subscription callback will happen later than the console.log calls following your this.mapsService.getMap call.
This is guaranteed by async nature of Observables.
You can either move your console logs inside of the subscribe function or create another subscription.
Hope this helps.

(Angular2) JSON data (http.get()) is undefined, and data is not updated in the component

My http-data.service accepts json for output in the component template. Initially, the console shows that the first few calls are given undefined, and the following calls are already taking json, but also if you check the component, then the component shows that the method that outputs the data to the component is called only once and since the data has not yet arrived it writes undefined , But not updated after the arrival of json. Help please understand why? Thank you
My http-data.service:
import {Injectable} from '#angular/core';
import {Http} from '#angular/http';
import {Response} from '#angular/http';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
#Injectable()
export class HttpService{
constructor(private http: Http) {}
getDataOrganizations(): Observable<any[]>{
return this.http.get('http://localhost:3010/data')
.map((resp:Response)=>{
let dataOrganizations = resp.json().organization;
return dataOrganizations;
});
}
getDataModules(): Observable<any[]> {
return this.http.get('http://localhost:3010/data')
.map((resp: Response)=> {
let dataModules = resp.json().modules;
return dataModules;
});
}
getDataPresets(): Observable<any[]> {
return this.http.get('http://localhost:3010/data')
.map((resp: Response)=> {
let dataPresets = resp.json().presets;
return dataPresets;
});
}
getDataModuleItems(): Observable<any[]> {
return this.http.get('http://localhost:3010/data')
.map((resp: Response)=> {
let dataModuleItems = resp.json().module_items;
return dataModuleItems;
});
}
}
My data-all.service
import { Injectable, EventEmitter } from '#angular/core';
import {Response} from '#angular/http';
import { ModuleModel } from './model-module';
import { ModuleItemsModel } from './model-module-items';
import data from '../data/data-all';
import { PriceService } from './price.service';
import { HttpService } from './http-data.service';
#Injectable()
export class ModuleDataService {
constructor(private priceService: PriceService, private httpService: HttpService){
this.dataMinMaxSum = {minSum: 0, maxSum: 0}
}
private currentPopupView: EventEmitter<any> = new EventEmitter<any>();
private dataModules: ModuleModel[] = this.getDataModules();
private dataMinMaxSum: {};
private dataCalculateVariationOrg: any[];
private dataChangeExecutor: any[];
subscribe(generatorOrNext?: any, error?: any, complete?: any) {
this.currentPopupView.subscribe(generatorOrNext, error, complete);
}
calculte(){
return this.priceService.getDataPrice();
}
getDataModules(){
this.httpService.getDataModules().subscribe(((modules)=>{this.dataModules = modules; console.log(this.dataModules);}));
console.log('dataModules');
console.log(this.dataModules);
return this.dataModules;
}
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
}
My left-block.component
import { Component, OnInit} from '#angular/core';
import { ModuleDataService } from '../../service/data-all.service';
import { ModuleModel } from '../../service/model-module';
#Component({
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'modules-left-block',
templateUrl: './modules-left-block.html',
styleUrls: ['modules-left-block.css']
})
export class ModuleLeft implements OnInit{
modules: ModuleModel[];
constructor(private modulesAll: ModuleDataService){}
ngOnInit(){
this.modules = this.modulesAll.getDataModules();
console.log("view");
console.log(this.modulesAll.getDataModules());
}
onToggle(module: any){
this.modulesAll.toggleModules(module);
}
}
My left-block.component.html
<div class="modules-all">
<div class="modules-all-title">Все модули</div>
<div class="module-item" *ngFor="let module of modules" [ngClass]="{ 'active': module.completed }" (click)="onToggle(module)">{{module?.title}}</div>
</div>
In the component this.modulesAll.getDataModules () method is why it is executed only once without updating (write in console => undefined), if there are any thoughts, write, thanks.

This behaviour is due to the .subscribe() method does not wait for the data to arrive and I'm guessing you already know this. The problem you're facing is because, you have .subscribe to the getDataModules() service in the wron place. You shouldn't subscribe to a service in another service (at leat in this case). Move the subscribe method to the left-block.component and it should work.
getDataModules() {
this.httpService.getDataModules().subscribe(((modules) => {
this.dataModules = modules;
console.log(this.dataModules);
}));
console.log('dataModules');
console.log(this.dataModules);
return this.dataModules;
}
It should look somethig like this:
#Component({
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'modules-left-block',
templateUrl: './modules-left-block.html',
styleUrls: ['modules-left-block.css']
})
export class ModuleLeft implements OnInit {
modules: ModuleModel[] = new ModuleModel();
constructor(private modulesAll: ModuleDataService, private httpService: HttpService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.getDataModles();
//this.modules = this.modulesAll.getDataModules();
console.log("view");
//console.log(this.modulesAll.getDataModules());
}
onToggle(module: any) {
this.modulesAll.toggleModules(module);
}
getDataModules(): void {
this.httpService.getDataModules().subscribe(((modules) => {
this.modules = modules;
console.log(this.dataModules);
}));
}
}

How to map from one model to another in Angular 2?

I have this function in my Angular 2 component, which calls Web Api:
getNextConjunctionApi(): Observable<any> {
return this._http.get(this.uri + '/GetNextConjunction')
.map((res: Response) => res.json());
}
Web Api returns a complex object, which I would like to map to an Angular 2 model called ClientModel:
export class ClientModel {
prop1: string;
prop2: string;
...
}
Can this mapping be done by rewriting the map functionality, or need I do it in some other way?
.map((res: Response) => res.json());

I accomplished this with a slightly different approach. I had my component call a service that would return an observable. My component could then use a specific type that I created. I will show you what I have done for a blog.
posts.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '#angular/core';
import { PostsService } from './posts.service';
import { PostComponent } from '../post/post.component'; // --> This is my custom type
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
#Component({
selector: 'app-posts',
templateUrl: './posts.component.html',
providers: [PostsService]
})
export class PostsComponent implements OnInit {
posts: Observable<PostComponent[]>; // --> I use the type here
constructor( private _postsService: PostsService ) { }
ngOnInit() {
this._postsService.getAllPosts()
.subscribe(
posts => { this.posts = posts }, // --> I add the return values here
error => { console.log(error) }
);
}
}
The above has three key pieces. I import the custom type, PostComponent, set posts to an Observable of type PostComponent array, and as the Observable comes back, I add the values to the posts array.
posts.service.ts
import { Injectable } from '#angular/core';
import { Http, Response } from '#angular/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';
#Injectable()
export class PostsService {
constructor( private _http: Http ) {}
getAllPosts(){
return this._http.get('[INSERT API CALL]')
.map((response: Response) => response.json())
.catch(msg => Observable.throw(msg));
}
}
In my service, I only map the response to response.json. This gives me more information than I need. I 'filter' it in my post.component
post.component.ts
import { Component, Input } from '#angular/core';
#Component({
selector: 'post',
templateUrl: './post.component.html'
})
export class PostComponent{
#Input() curPost: {
'id': number,
'title': string,
'author': string,
'date': string,
'body' : string,
};
constructor() { }
}
