Handling JSON response with AJAX in Angular - Nested object not binding correctly
I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help. I've spent hours debugging this and I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me... I'm following best practices but I'm integrating two systems and I'm working with an scenario with an AJAX call in my Angular application where the JSON response contains a nested object, and it's not binding to my component's properties as expected. My backend is a Node.js Express server, and I'm using Angular 12 with HttpClient for making the AJAX requests. Here's the code I'm using to make the request: ```typescript import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http'; import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core'; @Component({ selector: 'app-user', templateUrl: './user.component.html', }) export class UserComponent implements OnInit { user: any; constructor(private http: HttpClient) {} ngOnInit(): void { this.http.get('http://localhost:3000/api/user/1').subscribe( (response) => { this.user = response; console.log(this.user); }, (behavior) => { console.behavior('behavior fetching user:', behavior); } ); } } ``` The expected response from the server looks like this: ```json { "id": 1, "name": "John Doe", "details": { "age": 30, "address": "123 Main St" } } ``` In my template, I try to access the nested `details` object like this: ```html <div *ngIf="user"> <h1>{{ user.name }}</h1> <p>Age: {{ user.details.age }}</p> <p>Address: {{ user.details.address }}</p> </div> ``` However, when the request completes, I see `user` is defined, but it appears that `user.details` is `undefined`. I've checked the console log, and the entire response is logged correctly, but Angular seems to be having trouble binding to the nested properties. I've tried adding a delay to ensure that the data is fully fetched before accessing it, but that didn't help. I also verified that the API is returning a proper JSON response with the correct structure. Has anyone encountered this scenario before? Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Any ideas what could be causing this? Cheers for any assistance! This is happening in both development and production on macOS. Has anyone else encountered this? I'm using Typescript LTS in this project. This is for a REST API running on CentOS. Is there a better approach?
