i'm new to typescript and i can't find an alternative to optimize a line of code as you can see below. I need to filter an array derived from a callback function that i pass to a promise.then()...
getAllItems(): Promise<MyItem[]> {
return this.http.get(this.itemsUrl).toPromise()
.then(this.extractData)
.catch(this.handleError);
}
getItem(id: number | string): Promise<MyItem> {
var that = this; // i want to avoid to use this...
return this.http.get(this.itemsUrl).toPromise()
// ...just here
.then(function(res) {
return that.extractData(res).filter(h => h.id === +id)[0];
})
.catch(this.handleError);
}
private extractData(res: Response) {
let body = res.json();
return body.data || { };
}
Code above works well but i want to use a more short(more typescript i guess) syntax to achieve something like:
getItem(id: number | string): Promise<MyItem> {
return this.http.get(this.itemsUrl).toPromise()
// ... here again
.then(this.extractData => result.filter(h => h.id === +id)[0])
.catch(this.handleError);
}
obviously it does not work...any suggestion please? Thanks.
