            "@type": "Ville",
            "nomVille": "Benoitboeuf"
        }];

Answer 1

I suppose you are trying to do something like this:

<div *ngFor="let item of object | keyvalue">
  {{item.key}}:{{item.value}}
</div>

This questions is also answered pretty nicely here:

Answer 2

If you are using *ngFor , it only supports data is of type array or iterables only.

In your scenario data in your variable dropDownList is either of type object or may be null | undefined. Hence this error occur. Console that data before using it.
