Expected array but received {}

[ghost]

Hi

I'm trying to show data in my table, but browser throws this error

Error: [orderBy:notarray] Expected array but received: {}

And table shows no data.

My table directive has orderBy filter

...
$scope.refresh = function(resetPage) {
                if(resetPage === true) {
                    $scope.page = 0;
                }
                $scope.contents = $filter('orderBy')($scope.contents, activeSortColumn, activeSortOrder);
            };
...

I get data with getList function and Laravel sends this response

{"ex_puolisots":[{"id":1,"created_at":"2016-05-31 18:08:43","updated_at":"2016-05-31 18:08:43","deleted_at"
:null,"firstname":"sdf\u00f6lk\u00f6jsadf","lastname":"ewqproiuewrup","paattymispaiva":"2016-05-01","ositus"
:1},{"id":2,"created_at":"2016-06-01 18:17:40","updated_at":"2016-06-01 18:17:40","deleted_at":null,"firstname"
:"Joku","lastname":"Niminen","paattymispaiva":"2016-04-10","ositus":0}]}

Tried to fix with this and this guide, but no success.

Yeah, you will have to be more especific, amm how are you getting the data from laravel? and what variable has that data?, i can only asume its $scope.contents but i dont know how you get that data and also you are not using ES6 syntax so, are you using this starter or you just asking for help?

I think the issue here is that you can't use getList() if your api is returning a JSON object. You would need to explicitly return the array contents.

Before

class UsersController{
    public function get(){
         $users = App\User::get();

         return $users;
   }
}

After

class UsersController{
    public function get(){
         $users = App\User::get();

         return $users->toArray();
   }
}

Yep, errors are gone and "return $users->toArray();" works, thanks a lot!

However my table is empty, but I think thats because response array contains to much data fields =)
