Displaying object into HTML in Angular - html

Question

sorry for the noob question.
I created an http request and retrieved some pokemon data and put it in an object called pokemon, like so:
export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
title = 'Pokedex';
apiURL = 'https://pokeapi.co/api/v2/pokemon/1';
pokemon = {};
constructor(private http: HttpClient){}
ngOnInit(): void{
this.http.get(this.apiURL).subscribe(data =>{
const pokemon = {
name: data['name'],
id: data['id'],
abilities: data['abilities'].map( ability => ability['ability']['name']),
types: data['types'].map( type => type['type']['name']),
image: data['sprites']['front_default']
}
console.log(pokemon);
When I console log the object, it outputs in the console fine.
However, when I try to display it in an html {{ pokemon }} it just returns [object, Object]
How can I get around this?
I have tried the methods suggested below.
{{pokemon.name}}, {{pokemon[name]}} and {{pokemon?.name} display a blank page.
{{ pokemon | json }} returns an empty object, in the form of {}.
Am I perhaps doing something else wrong?

Answer 1

You need to use the json pipe
<pre>{{ pokemon | json }}</pre>
OR
<div> Id: {{ pokemon.id }} </div>
<div> Name: {{ pokemon.name }} </div>
<div> Abilities:
<ul>
<li *ngFor="let ability of pokemon.abilities"> {{ ability }}</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div> Types:
<ul>
<li *ngFor="let type of pokemon.types"> {{ types }}</li>
</ul>
</div>

Answer 2

call property as {{pokemon?.name}}

Answer 3

You can't use object directly. You have to access object properties by either . (Dot) notation or object[property] way.
In your case, if you want to use the property of name then use
{{ pokeman.name }}
or
{{ pokeman[name] }}
