NG02200: Cannot find a differ supporting object '[object Object]' of type 'object&#03-CodePudding

Being new to Angular\TS, I want to use Async Pipe to display JSON data . Following is the code with Model Interface.It compiles but gives the error in console and doesn't display anything. I want to use the particular URL given. The error is

Cannot find a differ supporting object '[object Object]' of type 'object'. NgFor only supports binding to Iterables, such as Arrays

       customerObs = this.http.get<Customer[]>('https://randomuser.me/api/?format=json');

       constructor(private http: HttpClient) { }

HTML

           <li *ngFor="let customer of customerObs | async">
              {{customer.gender}}
           </li>

Interface

      export interface Customer {gender: string;email: string;}

CodePudding user response：

Looking at the response from the server you will see that it is returning an object and not an array:

{"results":[{ ... }]}

Option 1

Option 1 would be to map the response by getting the results property of the object through a pipe() like this:

import { map } from 'rxjs';

interface Customer { }
interface Response { results: Customer[] }

customerObs = this.http.get<Response>('https://randomuser.me/api/?format=json')
  .pipe(map(i => i.results))

Option 2

Option 2 would be to use get the results property directly in the html (along with the generics in the typescript):

interface Customer { }
interface Response { results: Customer[] }

customerObs = this.http.get<Response>('https://randomuser.me/api/?format=json');

<ul *ngIf="customerObs | async as response">
  <li *ngFor="let customer of response.results">
    {{customer.gender}}
  </li>
</ul>
