Angular 2 service subscription not subscribing to my variable

Question

My service is returning an array of objects, I’m trying to subscribe the response to my local variable “destinations”. Here is my code:

export class Component implements OnInit {

  destinations = [];

  constructor(public myService: MyService) {
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.myService.getDestinations()
        .subscribe(data => {
          destinations = data
       });
  }

}

Answer 1

export class Component implements OnInit {

  destinations: string[] = [];

  constructor(public myService: MyService) {
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.myService.getDestinations()
        .subscribe(data => {
          this.destinations = data
       });
  }

}

Assuming you're getting an array back. You were missing two this:

first was: destinations: string[] = [];

second: this. in front of destinations, so this.destinations = data;

This should work correctly.

Answer 2

this. is missing

this.destinations = data
