Mapping Key Value Pair from request using RxJS and observable

Time:10-07

My API endpoint returns json as key-value pair result. How can I map this collection to the object ICar inside .pipe method. I need observable, because I want to cache result.

Example json result:

{"1":"Ford", "2":"Toyota"}

My example code:

export interface ICar {
  key: string;
  carName: string;
}

getCars():Observable<ICar[]> {
   return this.httpClient.get("https://cars.com/cars")
      .pipe(
          map(???),   <--------------dont't know how to map it here
          publishReplay(1), 
          refCount()
      );
}

you have multiple options:

map(response => {
  const result = [];
  for(const key in response) {
    result.push({key, carName: response[key]});
  }
  return result;
}),
  map(response => Object.key(response).map(key => ({key, carName: response[key] }))});

Hi its not an array its object so you need to loop this manually

    for (const property in object) {
  console.log(`${property}: ${object[property]}`);
}

you need to do like this
