Angular 2 Date deserialization

Question

I have an Angular 2 application. A service is requests data from an api that returns the results like the following:

{
    \"data\":[
        {\"id\":1,\"ti         


        

Answer 1

I would map the string field to a date one:

getList() : Observable {
  return this._http.get(this._getListUrl).map(this.extractData);
}

private extractData(res: Response) {
  var data = res.json().data || [];
  data.forEach((d) => {
    d.timestamp = new Date(d.timestamp);
  });
  return data;
}
