I make a Get call to my API and want the result as a string so I can split it
GetServiceProviderId() {
this.http.get(this.rooturl + 'info', { headers: this.reqHeader });
var data = "mitId: 18, ServiceProvider: 2" <- result I get and want to split
var dataspilitted = data.split(" ");
return dataspilitted[3];
}
Original guide says you need to specify responseType in request options
GetServiceProviderId() {
return this.http.get(this.rooturl + 'info', { headers: this.reqHeader, responseType:'text' })
.map(data => {
var dataspilitted = data.split(" ");
return dataspilitted[3];
});
}
Isn't that a JSON response? Why convert to string, split, get the 3rd word, convert to number and hope that nothing changes?
you could just do:
this.http.get(this.rooturl + 'info', { headers: this.reqHeader })
.subscribe(result => console.log('Result is ', result.ServiceProvider));
You will need to subscribe to the HTTP call and then parse the data from the response depending on how it is formatted.
GetServiceProviderId() {
this.http.get(this.rooturl + 'info', { headers: this.reqHeader }).subscribe(
(data) => {
// Optionally parse "data" into string depending on result format
// data = parse(data)
this.dataSplit = data.split(" ")[3];
}
);
}
In this example parse(data) is some function that you would write to parse the data into a string, if the HTTP response does not return a string in the first place.
