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

JSON does not provide any date specification, so it is entirely up to how it is serialized/deserialized.

You could use reviver parameter of JSON.parse:

this._http.get(this._getListUrl).map(res => JSON.parse(res.text(), this.reviver));

reviver(key, value):any
{
    if('timestamp' === key){
        //you can use any de-serialization algorithm here
        return new Date(value);
    }
    return value;
}
