                    <option></option>
                    <option *ngFor="let ville of dropDownList"
                        [value]="ville.id">
                        {{ville.nomVille}}
                    </option>

                </select>

            </div>

My Component.TS :

dropDownList: [];

  responsable = {

    id: 0,
    nomResponsable: '',
    prenomResponsable: '',
    emailResponsable: '',
    mdpResponsable: '',
    img: '',
    rib: '',
    dtn: '',
    region: 0,
    ville: 0,
  };

    methodAPIToGetVilles() {
        this.res.getville()
          .subscribe((s: any) => {
            this.dropDownList = s;
    
          });
      }
    
      //methode to get the value off the idville in the option
      getidville(id: any): void {
        this.responsable.ville = id;
    
      }
    
      curUser: any = this.responsable[0];

My API Data :

"@context": "/api/contexts/Ville",
    "@id": "/api/villes",
    "@type": "hydra:Collection",
    "hydra:member": [
        {
            "@id": "/api/villes/6",
            "@type": "Ville",
            "nomVille": "Davidboeuf"
        },
        {
            "@id": "/api/villes/7",
            "@type": "Ville",
            "nomVille": "Benoitboeuf"
        }];

Answer 1

If you are using *ngFor, it only supports data is of type array or iterables only.

In your scenario data in your variable dropDownList is either of type object or may be null | undefined. Hence this error occur. Console that data before using it.

Answer 2

I suppose you are trying to do something like this:

<div *ngFor="let item of object | keyvalue">
  {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
</div>
