@Magnus Forsmark, I got it from the JSON response object. I am somewhat a beginner at SPFx, so I am not 100% sure this is the correct approach, but here´s an example:
private getNews(url: string) : Promise<any> {
return this.context.spHttpClient.get(url, SPHttpClient.configurations.v1).then((response: SPHttpClientResponse) => {
if (response.ok) {
return response.json();
} else {
console.log("WARNING - failed to hit URL " + url + ". Error = " + response.statusText);
return null;
}
});
}
private getNewsItems(): Promise<NewsItem[]> {
// URL to get news
var url = this.context.pageContext.web.absoluteUrl + `/_vti_bin/homeapi.ashx/news?start=0&count=200`;
return this.getNews(url).then((response) => {
var news: Array<NewsItem> = new Array<NewsItem>();
response.Items.forEach((item: any) => {
var newsItem = new NewsItem();
newsItem.Title = item.Title;
newsItem.Published = item.FirstPublishedDate;
newsItem.Author = item.Author.Title;
newsItem.URL = item.Url;
newsItem.Text = item.Description;
newsItem.ImageUrl = item.ImageUrl;
newsItem.LastModifiedBy = item.LastModifiedBy;
newsItem.ViewCount = item.ViewCount == null ? 0 : item.ViewCount;
news.push(newsItem);
});
return news;
})
}
