Could someone please clarify the significance of the ".default" in the code snippet below?
I am interested in implementing this code in our project, but my understanding of the mentioned code fragment is uncertain.
(I have modified my question to display the original code.)
In the article angular-http-mock-interceptor-for-mocked-backend-1h5g on dev.io, there is code that looks like this:
import { Injectable, Injector } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpEvent, HttpHandler, HttpInterceptor, HttpRequest, HttpResponse } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import * as users from './users.json';
const urls = [
{
url: 'https://an-example.url.org/users',
json: users
}
];
@Injectable()
export class HttpMockRequestInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
constructor(private injector: Injector) {}
intercept(request: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
for (const element of urls) {
if (request.url === element.url) {
return of(new HttpResponse({ status: 200, body: ((element.json) as any).default })); // <---- THIS ".default"
}
}
//...
}
}
with users.json
[
{
"name": "Abe",
"id": 1
},
{
"name": "Boe",
"id": 22
}
]
I have attempted to search for an explanation online without success. I am unsure if it is safe to proceed without including the ".default" in the code, perhaps I am overlooking something. I would greatly appreciate any insight into its meaning. Thank you.
