I'm facing a strange issue while filling a model from a API result.
My model looks like this:
import {Company} from './../api/odata/data/Company';
export class MyModel {
...
isEnabled = false;
....
constructor(data: Company= null) {
try {
this.isEnabled = !data.isDisabled;
...
}
...
}
When I fill the data model, if data.isDisabled equals false, this.isEnabled should be true, but it's returning false...
data.isDisabled is a string buddy. You could convert it to a boolean in multiple ways. But I am curious where the data came from in the first place.
If there is no way to ensure data.isDisabled comes as a boolean you could do two things.
1- Check what the strings value is and based on that return a boolean.
this.isEnabled = data.isDisabled === 'true' ? false : true
2- Or use eval, which I would not recommend
this.isEnabled = eval(data.isDisabled);
3- Backwards compatible solution, best of all three
This will even work if isDisabled is an actual boolean.
this.isEnabled = !JSON.parse(data.isDisabled);
See more on string to boolean conversion here
isDisabled is clearly wrong, otherwise the javascript debugger wouldn't be showing you a string How about fixing that ? :D
