Thanks to tutorial on Angular 2 page called "Tour of Heroes", I managed to create a simple Angular 2 application. Then using Enitity Framework I decided to create a database. And fill the list of heroes from it (not from the file). I created Web Api Controller and added simple get method.
Then in hero.service.ts I call this method in order to get list of heroes. When I lunch my app it shows the list of heroes but without any values (name and id are blank). When I debug my application in the browser I can see this.heroes object in heroes.component.ts contains right data. So what is going on? Why aren't name and id showing?
hero.service.ts:
import {Injectable} from 'angular2/core';
import {HEROES} from './mock-heroes';
import {Hero} from './hero';
import {Http, Response} from 'angular2/http';
import 'rxjs/Rx';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';
@Injectable()
export class HeroService {
public values: any;
constructor(public _http: Http) { }
private _heroesUrl = 'http://localhost:61553/api/values'; // URL to web api
getHeroes() {
return this._http.get(this._heroesUrl)
.map(res => <Hero[]>res.json())
.catch(this.handleError);
}
private handleError(error: Response) {
console.error(error);
return Observable.throw(error.json().error || 'Server error');
}
}
heroes.component.ts:
import {Component, OnInit} from 'angular2/core';
import {Router} from 'angular2/router';
import {Hero} from './hero';
import {HeroDetailComponent} from './hero-detail.component';
import {HeroService} from './hero.service';
@Component({
selector: 'my-heroes',
templateUrl: 'templates/heroes.component.html',
styleUrls: ['styles/heroes-component.css'],
directives: [HeroDetailComponent]
})
export class HeroesComponent implements OnInit {
constructor(private _heroservice: HeroService, private _router: Router) { }
errorMessage: string;
public heroes: Hero[];
selectedHero: Hero;
ngOnInit() {
this.getHeroes();
}
onSelect(hero: Hero)
{
this.selectedHero = hero;
}
getHeroes() {
this._heroservice.getHeroes()
.subscribe(
value => this.heroes = value,
error => this.errorMessage = <any>error);
}
gotoDetail() {
this._router.navigate(['HeroDetail', { id: this.selectedHero.Id }]);
}
}
heroes.component.html:
<h2>My Heroes</h2>
<ul class="heroes">
<li *ngFor="#hero of heroes" [class.selected]="hero === selectedHero" (click)="onSelect(hero)">
<span class="badge">{{hero.Id}}</span> {{hero.Name}}
</li>
</ul>
<div *ngIf="selectedHero">
<h2>
{{selectedHero.Name | uppercase}} is my hero
</h2>
<button (click)="gotoDetail()">View Details</button>
</div>
hero.ts:
export class Hero {
Id: number;
Name: string;
}
Web API Controller:
using Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using TestApplicationDataAccess;
using TestApplicationDataAccess.Entities;
namespace WebApplication2.Controllers
{
[Route("api/[controller]")]
public class ValuesController : Controller
{
private readonly TestAppDbContext _dbContext;
public ValuesController(TestAppDbContext dbContext)
{
_dbContext = dbContext;
}
// GET: api/values
[HttpGet]
public IEnumerable<Hero> Get()
{
return _dbContext.Heroes;
}
}
}
Hero Entity:
namespace TestApplicationDataAccess.Entities
{
public class Hero
{
public int Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
}
}
JSON retrieved from WEB API Controller:
[{"Id":1,"Name":"Superman"}]
{{heroes|json}}and tell me what do you get?{{heroes|json}}I don't see nothing...valueController: controller, it must be:ApiController
