I'm working on a app where the user search for a TV-show and from a api call to TMDB the user is supposed to see when the last episode of that TV-show was aired. I'm having trouble with displaying the last part - display the last aired episode.
Here's is my service (Series-Service), from which I get some information like the name, votes, simple overview. I also have a service to retrieve more information from the TV-shows ID.
searchSeries(seriesName) {
var url = 'http://api.themoviedb.org/3/search/tv?query=&query=' + encodeURI(seriesName) + '&api_key=[MY_API_KEY]';
var response = this.http.get(url).map(res => res.json());
return response;
}
moreInfo(seriesId)
{
var url = 'https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/'+seriesId+'?api_key=[MY_API_KEY]&language=en-US'
var response = this.http.get(url).map(res => res.json());
return response;
}
Here is my page with the function to display the data (Series.ts):
serie: {id};
serieInfo: {};
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController,
public navParams: NavParams,
public seriesService: SeriesService,
public alertCtrl: AlertController) {
//Get the serie object I picked in my search
this.serie = navParams.get('serie');
//Use the ID of that object to use my other service to get more info
console.log(this.serie.id);
this.seriesService.moreInfo(this.serie.id).subscribe(
data => {
this.serieInfo = data.results;
console.log(data);
},
err => {
console.log(err);
},
() => console.log('Series Search Complete')
);
}
My HTML page for displaying the TV-show (Series.html):
<ion-content padding>
<div *ngIf="serie" class="selection">
<ion-card>
<ion-item>
<ion-avatar item-left image-large>
<img src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w92{{serie.poster_path}}"/>
</ion-avatar>
<h1>{{serie.name}}</h1>
<p>{{serie.first_air_date}}</p>
</ion-item>
<ion-item>
<ion-icon name="document" item-left></ion-icon>
<h2>Overview</h2>
<p class="item-description">{{serie.overview}}</p>
</ion-item>
<ion-item>
<ion-icon name="bookmark" item-left></ion-icon>
<h2>Average Vote</h2>
<p>{{serie.vote_average}}</p>
</ion-item>
<ion-item>
<ion-icon name="bookmark" item-left></ion-icon>
<h2>Air date</h2>
<p>{{serie.last_air_date}}</p>
</ion-item>
<ion-row>
<ion-col text-right>
<button
ion-button
clear
small
(click)="onAddToFavorites(serie)">Favorite</button>
</ion-col>
</ion-row>
</ion-card>
</div>
</ion-content>
My Search function (Search.ts):
searchForSeries(event, key) {
if(event.target.value.length > 2) {
this.seriesService.searchSeries(event.target.value).subscribe(
data => {
this.series = data.results;
console.log(data);
},
err => {
console.log(err);
},
() => console.log('Series Search Complete')
);
}
}
selectSeries(event, serie) {
console.log(serie);
this.navCtrl.push(Series, {
serie: serie
});
}
ionViewDidLoad() {
console.log('ionViewDidLoad Search');
}
As said, I can see the information from my first service call in the app, but in the console log I can see information from both api calls. Why can't I display data from the second api call?
Here's a picture of how it looks: https://i.sstatic.net/4Sftl.jpg
What I think is wrong is in my Series.ts, which I want to be looking like:
/*****************Don't pass id in {} *****************/
serie: {};
serieInfo: {};
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController,
public navParams: NavParams,
public seriesService: SeriesService,
public alertCtrl: AlertController) {
this.serie = navParams.get('serie');
console.log(this.serie.id);
/******* BUT THEN THIS ID GETS MAD AND SAYS:
"Property 'id' does not exist on type '{}'."**********/
this.seriesService.moreInfo(this.serie.id).subscribe(
data => {
this.serieInfo = data.results;
console.log(data);
},
err => {
console.log(err);
},
() => console.log('Series Search Complete')
);
}
Why can I see the object in my console log but not display it in my Series.html?
Solved it! Instead of sending an entire object of serie, I just pass the id of the serie.
Search.html:
<ion-content padding>
<ion-item>
<ion-label color="primary" stacked>Search for a TV-show</ion-label>
<ion-input type="text" (input)="searchForSeries($event, searchKey)"></ion-input>
</ion-item>
<ion-list>
<ion-item *ngFor="let serie of series" (click)="selectSeries($event, serie.id)">
<ion-avatar item-left>
<img src="https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/w92{{serie.poster_path}}"/>
</ion-avatar>
<h2>{{serie.original_name}}</h2>
<p class="item-description">{{serie.overview}}</p>
</ion-item>
</ion-list>
</ion-content>
Search.ts:
selectSeries(event, id) {
console.log(id);
this.navCtrl.push(Series, {
id
});
}
Series.ts:
serie: {};
constructor(public navCtrl: NavController,
public navParams: NavParams,
public seriesService: SeriesService,
public alertCtrl: AlertController) {
this.serie = navParams.get('serie');
this.seriesService.moreInfo(this.navParams.get('id')).subscribe((params) => {
let id = params['id'];
this.seriesService.moreInfo(id).subscribe(serie => {
console.log(serie);
this.serie = serie;
})
});
