Assign array of JSON objects to array of interface Angular/Typescript

Currently, this works and doesn't give my error while running but my text editor is giving me an error that says property 'categories' does not exist on type 'CategoryInterface[]' (on the line where response.categories is assigned to variable) so I'm not sure if I'm doing things right.
public categories: CategoryInterface[];
.subscribe((response: CategoryInterface[]) => {
this.categories = response.categories;
console.log(this.categories);
});
My backend returns this:
{
"categories": [
{
"categoryId": 1,
"name": "Important",
"description": "This category is important.",
"order": 1,
"createdBy": null,
"createdAt": "2017-11-25 12:09:04",
"updatedBy": null,
"updatedAt": "2018-01-17 23:53:25",
"categoryBoards": [
{
"categoryBoardId": 1,
"categoryId": 1,
"name": "Announcements",
"description": null,
"order": 2,
"createdBy": null,
"createdAt": "2017-11-25 12:09:49",
"updatedBy": null,
"updatedAt": "2018-01-18 00:09:02"
},
{
"categoryBoardId": 23,
"categoryId": 1,
"name": "Rules",
"description": null,
"order": 1,
"createdBy": null,
"createdAt": "2018-01-18 00:08:57",
"updatedBy": null,
"updatedAt": "2018-01-19 00:05:51"
}
]
}
]
}

You are trying to cast your api response to an array of CategoryInterface which is not the case, you better use your subscribe method like this:
.subscribe((response: any) => {
this.categories = <CategoryInterface[]> response.categories;
console.log(this.categories);
});
It's the your api response categories which needs to be casted to CategoryInterface[]
Bonus: The angular style-guide notice that you need to declare classes instead of interfaces and you don't have to suffix the class name with Interface, so just name your CategoryInterface to Category.

You get the error because you declare response as a CategoryInterface[], but response.categories is actually the CategoryInterface[]. response is just a wrapper around the array. All the types are stripped out when the typescript is converted to javascript, which is why it works fine at runtime.

Dialogflow html/js card json value v1

I am trying to access the card json value, to no avail.
In my scenario, I am asking the bot about "weather in London" and it replies back with "It is currently 9 degrees celcius in London." via the webhook.
Which is correct and dynamic.
However, I am trying to also pass the values to a card too.
In the json reply, I do get the card as so
{

Accessing the value of speech using data.result.fulfillment.speech works fine.
However, when using data.result.fulfillment.data.items.basicCard.image.url it just doesnt work. And if I go up several levels, I do get:
[object Object]
Your help is appreciated.

The items attribute is a list and not an object. As such, you'll have to use a numerical index to retrive the data. In the example you provided the index of the basicCard object is second so your code should look something like this:
data.result.fulfillment.data.items[1].basicCard.image.url
Notice the [1] after items.
Bear in mind that if the order of this list changes you may no longer be retrieving a basicCard object so you may want to add some checking to make sure you're retrieving the data you want.

How to expand a lookupfield in a sharepoint document library using rest

I have a SharePoint(SP) library with some custom columns.
One of the columns contains a lookup field pointing to a SP list.
I need to retreive the documents in the list and all the custom fields including the fields from the lookup list (join).
There are some Q&A on stackoverflow regarding this topc, but they are about SP lists not SP document libraries.
This is what I have come up with until now (using javascript to perform a GET):
{
"url": "sites/mysite/_api/Web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/mysite/myfilelibrary')
/files?$select=Name,LinkingUrl,TimeCreated,TimeLastModified,Title,ListItemAllFields
&$expand=ListItemAllFields/myListIdId"
}
This results into:
{
"value": [
{
"ListItemAllFields": {
"FileSystemObjectType": 0,
"Id": 1,
"ServerRedirectedEmbedUrl": "https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc={abababab-efff-4e69-94de-128ff7c14256}&action=interactivepreview",
"ContentTypeId": "0x010100769480B9F5404447A43367BFC5B86AAB",
"Title": null,
"checkResponsible": null,
>>>>>>>>>>>>"myListIdId": 15, <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
"SharedWithUsersId": null,
"SharedWithDetails": null,
"ID": 1,
"Created": "2016-07-25T06:04:56",
"AuthorId": 9,
"Modified": "2016-07-26T15:11:27",
"EditorId": 11,
"OData__CopySource": null,
"CheckoutUserId": null,
"OData__UIVersionString": "9.0",
"GUID": "898770aa-da56-40ae-9db1-430bba2da9bd"
},
"LinkingUrl": "https://mydomain.sharepoint.com/sites/mysite/myFileLibrary/Document.docx?d=w3028f42eefff4e6994de128ff7cd6e48",
"Name": "Document.docx",
"TimeCreated": "2016-07-25T13:04:56Z",
"TimeLastModified": "2016-07-26T22:11:27Z",
"Title": ""
}
]
}
The field myListIdId is returned but not expanded.
$expand=ListItemAllFields/myListIdId
should do the trick, but clearly it does not.
What am I missing?

According to this article, you specify the expanded field in the select parameter.
Revised:
"...$select=Name,LinkingUrl,TimeCreated,TimeLastModified,Title,ListItemAllFields/myListIdId
&$expand=ListItemAllFields"

Iterate through nested Javascript Objects from API response

I've tried 100 different things, and spend days looking through Google and Stackoverflow, but I can't find a solution to this problem. Everything I call after the body of this API response returns undefined!
The response from Facebook SDK looks like this:
[
{
"body": "[

}
]"
},{

This response is from a batch call. If I call them separately, I can easily iterate through the responses, and get everything from them. When I call them in the batch though, I can't get past "body", and I need to use a batch call.
console.log(response[0].body); will return the object inside the body of the first part of the response, but console.log(response[0].body.data); returns undefined. I just don't get it. This should be simple but it's like there's a lock on the door and I don't have the right key.
I normally have no issue iterating through objects, so I don't need a generalized answer. I need help seeing whatever it is here that I don't see. Why does the console show undefined when I call anything after the body, and what do I need to be doing to get any of these values?

That JSON contains nested JSON. body seems to be a string. Use
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);

The values from the body are just strings.which are embedded as json.So firstly you would need to parse them using JSON.parse.
The code would be like
var body = JSON.parse(response[0].body);

I am having problem with my data.

I am trying to print put all the names of the links like that:
$.post( "http://0.0.0.0:9292/api/links", function( data ) {
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = data[link][0].name;
});
but it doesn't work.
How can I grub all the names and put it in html?

The objects are inside the array, not the other way around.
link is a literal property name, not a variable containing one as a string
Thus:
data[0]['link']['name']
You'll also need to make sure that the response has an application/json content type.
Grabbing all the names will require you to use a loop and change the 0 each time round it.

First of all change last "}" to "]" (your top structure is array not object )
Then try this
$.post( "http://0.0.0.0:9292/api/links", function( data ) {
document.getElementById("test").innerHTML = data[0].link.name;
});

Array.prototype.map() is a good way to fetch something from data structure. With your test data in data variable, could would look like this:
Example here.
<div class="names"></div>
var names = data.map(function (item) {
return item.link.name
});
document.querySelector(".names").innerHTML = names;
