Angular: Cannot find a differ supporting object '[object Object]'

Im following this tutorial. On the way to get list of users from api.github Im getting error:

Cannot find a differ supporting object '[object Object]'

I think its related to

 <ul>
 <li *ngFor = "#user of users">
 {{user | json}}
 </li>
 </ul>

In my code because before it there was no any error, and im unsure if data come from get request, just clicking didnt give any error, here is my code so far

@Component({
selector: 'router',
pipes : [],

template: `
<div>
<form [ngFormModel] = "searchform">
      <input type = 'text' [ngFormControl]= 'input1'/>
</form>
     <button (click) = "getusers()">Submit</button>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
    <li *ngFor = "#user of users">
    {{user | json}}
    </li>
</ul>
</div>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>
`,
directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES]
})
export class router {
searchform: ControlGroup;
users: Array<Object>[];
input1: AbstractControl;

constructor(public http: Http, fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.searchform = fb.group({
        'input1': ['']
    })
    this.input1 = this.searchform.controls['input1']
}
getusers() {
    this.http.get(`https://api.github.com/
search/users?q=${this.input1.value}`)
        .map(response => response.json())
        .subscribe(
        data => this.users = data,
        error => console.log(error)
        )
}
}

I think that the object you received in your response payload isn't an array. Perhaps the array you want to iterate is contained into an attribute. You should check the structure of the received data...

You could try something like that:

getusers() {
  this.http.get(`https://api.github.com/search/users?q=${this.input1.value}`)
    .map(response => response.json().items) // <------
    .subscribe(
      data => this.users = data,
      error => console.log(error)
    );
}

Edit

Following the Github doc (developer.github.com/v3/search/#search-users), the format of the response is:

{
  "total_count": 12,
  "incomplete_results": false,
  "items": [
    {
      "login": "mojombo",
      "id": 1,
      (...)
      "type": "User",
      "score": 105.47857
    }
  ]
}

So the list of users is contained into the items field and you should use this:

getusers() {
  this.http.get(`https://api.github.com/search/users?q=${this.input1.value}`)
    .map(response => response.json().items) // <------
    .subscribe(
      data => this.users = data,
      error => console.log(error)
    );

I received this error in my code because I'd not run JSON.parse(result).

So my result was a string instead of an array of objects.

i.e. I got:

"[{},{}]" 

instead of:

[{},{}]

import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage';
...
private static readonly SERVER = 'server';
...
getStorage(): Promise {
  return this.storage.get(LoginService.SERVER);
}
...
this.getStorage()
  .then((value) => {
     let servers: Server[] = JSON.parse(value) as Server[];
                   }
  );

Missing square brackets around input property may cause this error. For example:

Component Foo {
    @Input()
    bars: BarType[];
}

Correct:

<app-foo [bars]="smth"></app-foo>

Incorrect (triggering error):

<app-foo bars="smth"></app-foo>
