Using Angular's Dynamic forms I'm building a new input field



form.ts



 usernameCallback(body) {
console.log(`hello ${body}`);
this.usernameService.post(body)
.subscribe(
data => {
console.log(data);
},
error => {
console.warn(`Error: ${error}`);
}
);
}

ngOnInit() {

new InputField({
key: 'username',
label: 'Username',
value: '',
placeholder: 'Enter username',
required: true,
callback: this.usernameCallback
}),

}


So this is the basics of the code.



I have inside UsernameService a method post() which sends an http post request.



usernameCallback() is added to the InputField and has the type of Function to it.



Within input.component.ts where the form is built I am doing



  callback() {
console.log(this.field.callback);
this.field.callback('cheddar');
}


The console log prints out the content from usernameCallback which is fine but I get an error




ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'post' of undefined




It looks like it isn't able to process the usernameService but I cannot figure out why.

    this.usernameCallback.bind(this) should do the trick

  • Alternatively you can use instance arrow function like usernameCallback = (body) => { More on this you can find everywhere:) github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/wiki/%27this%27-in-TypeScript
