Angular return [object Object]-CodePudding

I'm trying to send a post request. But the API returns undefined, and I send it to my API, as it turned out [object Object]

getAccouting():Observable<any>{
    // let json = this.http.get<any>('/assets/cities/altayskiy_kray/accounting.json'); if i use it json return undefined
    let json;
    this.http.get('/assets/cities/altayskiy_kray/accounting.json').pipe(data=>json=data);
    let formData:FormData = new FormData;
    formData.append('json', json);
    return this.http.post<any>('http://api/api.php', formData);
  }

How fix that?

CodePudding user response：

http.get is async so it will not have emitted before you return the http.post. Therefore, json will be undefined.

Instead you can chain them and return the whole observable:

getAccouting(): Observable<any>{
  return this.http.get('/assets/cities/altayskiy_kray/accounting.json').pipe(
    switchMap(json => {
      return this.http.post<any>('http://api/api.php', json);
    }
  );
}

Do you need to use FormData? If you append the json object then you will get its string value: [object Object].

You could stringify the json object, but you will have to decode it on the server:

formData.append('json', JSON.stringify(json))
