Typescript/Angular – Create array of objects from json file then get specific item

Posted on by

I’m having difficulty trying to accomplish a task.
I have a json file like this:

[
{
    "name" : "blah",
    "size" : "medium",
    "speed" : 25,
},
{
    "name" : "blah",
    "subtype" : ["blah", "blah", "blah"],
    "size" : "medium",
    "speed" : 30,
},
{
    "name" : "blah",
    "size" : "medium",
    "speed" : 30,
}

]

I want to create an array of objects, which I believe I have to do like this:

getObjects() {

return this.http.get(‘/assets/raceInfo.json’);
}

Then I would like to get a specific one something like:

getObject(name: string) { return this.http.get('/assets/raceInfo.json').select(x => x.name === name); }

i’m completely new to typescript and angular, so any help much appreciated.
