&#39;Observable&#39; 类型不存在属性 &#39;catch&#39;<any> &#39;

Question

On the Angular 2 documentation page for using the Http service, there is an example.

getHeroes (): Observable<Stuff[]> {
  return this.http.get(this.url)
                  .map(this.extractData)
                  .catch(this.handleError);
}

I cloned the angular2-webpack-starter project and added the above code myself.

I imported Observable using

import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Observable';

I'm assuming the properties Observable are imported as well ( .map works). Looked at the changelog for rxjs.beta-6 and nothing is mentioned about catch .

Warning : This solution is deprecated since Angular 5.5, please refer to Trent's answer below

=====================

Yes, you need to import the operator:

import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';

Or import Observable this way:

import {Observable} from 'rxjs/Rx';

But in this case, you import all operators.

See this question for more details:

• Angular HTTP GET with TypeScript error http.get(...).map is not a function in [null]

Answer 2

With RxJS 5.5+, the catch operator is now deprecated. You should now use the catchError operator in conjunction with pipe .

RxJS v5.5.2 is the default dependency version for Angular 5.

For each RxJS Operator you import, including catchError you should now import from 'rxjs/operators' and use the pipe operator.

Example of catching error for an Http request Observable

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';
...

export class ExampleClass {
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {
    this.http.request(method, url, options).pipe(
      catchError((err: HttpErrorResponse) => {
        ...
      }
    )
  }
  ...
}

Notice here that catch is replaced with catchError and the pipe operator is used to compose the operators in similar manner to what you're used to with dot-chaining.

See the rxjs documentation on pipable (previously known as lettable ) operators for more info.

In angular 8:

//for catch:
import { catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

//for throw:
import { Observable, throwError } from 'rxjs';

//and code should be written like this.

getEmployees(): Observable<IEmployee[]> {
    return this.http.get<IEmployee[]>(this.url).pipe(catchError(this.erroHandler));
  }

  erroHandler(error: HttpErrorResponse) {
    return throwError(error.message || 'server Error');
  }
