When using httpclient you can give the type to the get call and receive a struct of that object. For instance.
http.get<ProductData>("url:ressource:id").subscribe(x=> this.myObj = x)
this leads to having myObj only appear to be the type of the object. If i have functions on that obj they arent callable. I know from there that i should create a new Object and assign the properties of the result of the request to the new Object. My question is, is it possible to have a function that takes a type as Template and then returns an observable of that type with an instance ?
something like this
http.get<ProductData>("url:ressource:id").makeNew<Product>()
here the result of makeNew would be observable of type Product and then if you subscribe to it, You would get a Product.
I think the simplier way to think about it is. From this exemple.
this.http
.get<IProduct>('https://dummyjson.com/products/1')
.pipe(
map((x) => {
var a = new ProductDisplay();
Object.assign(a, x);
return a;
})
)
.subscribe((x) => {
console.log('obj is ', x);
});
Is it possible to replace the .map portion with one function call like makeNew<Product>()
x => this.myObj = new Product(x)
