send data from node.js to angular with get()

Question

I want to retrieve data (an array) from a node.js file with angular . I tried on my node.js file:

app.get('/search', function(req, res){
    res.send(data);
});

And I've some difficulties to retrieve it on angular. I've created a service:

data: any;

getDictionnary(): Observable<String[]> {
    var dataGet = this.http.get('/search').pipe(map(data => this.data=data.json()));
    console.dir(dataGet);
    return dataGet;
};

ngOnInit() {
    this.data = this.getDictionnary();
}

I've read that this.http.get() return an Observable<Response> but I don't know what to do with that. I've searched some documentation on it but I didn't find anything really useful.

The part pipe(map(data => this.data=data.json())) is just something that I tried but when I try to display the data object I got an undefined .

Can you help me with to understand how all of this works? Thank you!

Edit: Result of the console.get(dataGet):

Answer 1

You need to subscribe to the observable

     let observable: Observable<Response> = this.http.get('/search',requestOptions);
     observable.subscribe((response: Response) => {
     let responseData: any = response.arrayBuffer().byteLength > 0 ? response.json() : {}; 
 });

Answer 2

Try this.

data: any;

getDictionnary(): Observable<String[]> {
    return this.http.get('/search').pipe(map(data => this.data=data.json()));
};

ngOnInit() {
    this.getDictionnary().subscribe((response) => {
       this.data = response;
    });
}

Answer 3

You can try this solution as given :

In HttpService:

  import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

    import {
        HttpClient,
        HttpErrorResponse,
        HttpHeaders
    } from '@angular/common/http';

    import { Observable ,  Subject } from 'rxjs';

    @Injectable({
        providedIn: 'root'
    })
    export class HttpService {

        constructor(private httpClient: HttpClient) {


        }

      getData(url,body, options): Observable<any>{
          return this.httpClient.get(url, options);
        }
    }

In component

private data: string[] = [];
constructor(private http: HttpService){
this.getDictionnary();
}

getDictionnary(){

this.http.getData(url,options).subscribe((resp:any) => {

 this.data = resp.data

}
}
