Currently, I am exploring how to access a property of an EChartOptions object in Angular 16.0.2, which may be undefined as I am still new to TypeScript.
List of npm packages:
eapp/src$ npm list
<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="8ce9f4ede1fce0e9edfcfcccbca2bca2bc">[email protected]</a> /home/martin/development/node-level-resource-monitoring/webapp/exampleapp
├── @angular-devkit/<a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection" class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="6604130f0a024b070801130a071426575048564854">[email protected]</a>
...
... (omitted for brevity)
The code base for my component:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
...
// Component code omitted

I am attempting to create a function that accesses the data property using the ?. operator, but it is not working as expected. The interpreter displays the following error message:
Object is possibly 'undefined'.ts(2532) Element implicitly has an 'any' type because expression of type '0' can't be used to index type 'SeriesOption$1 | SeriesOption$1[]'. Property '0' does not exist on type 'SeriesOption$1 | SeriesOption$1[]'.
The code snippet causing the issue:
getMaxSeriesDataVal(){
let newVar = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < 3; i++){
console.log(this.options?.series[0]?.data[0]) //DOESN'T WORK!!!
}
}
Is there a simpler solution to this problem or should I reconsider my approach when working with Angular components and echart properties?
