Error: Cannot find a different supporting object "object" of type "object". NgFor only supports binding to Iterables like arrays
I am successfully fetching data from jsonplaceholder fake api https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts
I am trying to link it using angular 2 {{}} but I am getting the following error. I have no idea what I am doing wrong if any body can help me and it will be complete. Below is the code and error.

It looks like the *ngFor
tag is missing in the text async
. Since it getHeroes()
returns Observable
, you need to use a tag async
like this to let Angular know that the data provided in the loop *ngFor
is asynchronous.
<h1>
<div>
<ul *ngFor= "let user of profile | async">
<li>{{user.userId}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
