Not assigning returned API data to `data` property?

[chrisnicola]

There does not seem to be a simple way to override the data property of returned API data. My API doesn't wrap the returned data in a object property in this way.

I could use overrides but that seems more involved than necessary for such a minor change, or is it? Maybe I'm just misunderstanding this.

I agree. Added responseInterceptor to new v.0.1.14 in commit e423d57

You should be able to do anything you want to the response including change the shape of the body.

Example in example/hero-data.service.ts:

 // intercept response from the default HTTP method handlers
  responseInterceptor(response: ResponseOptions, reqInfo: RequestInfo) {
    const method = RequestMethod[reqInfo.req.method].toUpperCase();
    const body = JSON.stringify(response.body);
    console.log(`responseInterceptor: ${method} ${reqInfo.req.url}: \n${body}`);
    return response;
  }

Only called for the default HTTP handlers. Ignored if you override any of these methods.
