VistasAngular 2: How to access an HTTP response body?
I wrote the following code in Angular 2:
this.http.request('http://thecatapi.com/api/images/get?format=html&results_per_page=10').
subscribe((res: Response) => {
console.log(res);
})
When I print the response I get in console:
I want to have access in the code to body field in the response. The 'body' field starts with an underscore, which means that it's a private field. When I change it to 'console.log(res._body)' I got an error.
Do you know any getter function that can help me here?

Both Request and Response extend Body.
To get the contents, use the text() method.
this.http.request('http://thecatapi.com/api/images/get?format=html&results_per_page=10')
.subscribe(response => console.log(response.text()))
That API was deprecated in Angular 5. The new HttpResponse<T> class instead has a .body() method. With a {responseType: 'text'} that should return a String.

Here is an example to access response body using angular2 built in Response
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {Http,Response} from '@angular/http';
@Injectable()
export class SampleService {
constructor(private http:Http) { }
getData(){
this.http.get(url)
.map((res:Response) => (
res.json() //Convert response to JSON
//OR
res.text() //Convert response to a string
))
.subscribe(data => {console.log(data)})
}
}

Here is an example of a get http call:
this.http
.get('http://thecatapi.com/api/images/get?format=html&results_per_page=10')
.map(this.extractData)
.catch(this.handleError);
private extractData(res: Response) {
let body = res.text(); // If response is a JSON use json()
if (body) {
return body.data || body;
} else {
return {};
}
}
private handleError(error: any) {
// In a real world app, we might use a remote logging infrastructure
// We'd also dig deeper into the error to get a better message
let errMsg = (error.message) ? error.message :
error.status ? `${error.status} - ${error.statusText}` : 'Server error';
console.error(errMsg); // log to console instead
return Observable.throw(errMsg);
}
Note .get() instead of .request().
I wanted to also provide you extra extractData and handleError methods in case you need them and you don't have them.
