Angular 5 material 2 - auto-populate data from an external api

Question

I use corner 5 and material 2.

In the TS file, I have this property:

      filteredOptions: Observable<any[]>;

This property will have an array of values ​​to display in the autocomplete field.

      [{
        id:'1', name: 'teste 1'},
        {id:'2', name: 'teste 2'},
        {id:'3', name: 'teste 3'
      }]

This array of values ​​comes from the database, and it will be shown after the user enters something.

HTML file:

          ##            <form class="example-form">
          ##              <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
          ##                <input type="text" placeholder="Assignee" aria-label="Assignee" matInput [formControl]="myControl" [matAutocomplete]="auto">
          ##                <mat-autocomplete #auto="matAutocomplete" [displayWith]="displayFn">
          ##                  <mat-option *ngFor="let option of filteredOptions | async" [value]="option">
          ##                    {{ option.name }}
          ##                  </mat-option>
          ##                </mat-autocomplete>
          ##              </mat-form-field>
          ##            </form>

Example TS file:

    this.filteredOptions = Observable<any[]>;

    ngOnInit() {
      this.filteredOptions = this.myControl.valueChanges
        .pipe(
          startWith({}),
          map(getArrayOfValue(val))            
        );
      }

      // it is going to call an api to get the array of values to be shown in the field
      getArrayOfValue(val): Observable<any[]> {            
        const url = this.ROOT_URL + 'veiculo/' + val;
        return this.http.get<any[]>(url);
      }

This code gives me an error

ERROR in src / app / oficina / cadastro / veiculo / veiculo.component.ts (55,5): TS2322 error: type "Observable>" cannot be assigned to type "Observable". The type "Observable" cannot be assigned to the type "any []". The include property is not in the Observable type.

, , map(val => this.getArrayOfValue(val)). . debounceTime, distinctUntilChanged switchMap. . , API. , switchMap , , . API, , . http- .

TS:

  // inject your created service which makes the http-request
  constructor(private service: Service) { 

  this.filteredOptions = this.myControl.valueChanges
        .pipe(
          startWith(''),
          debounceTime(400),
          distinctUntilChanged(),
          switchMap(val => {
            return this.filter(val || '')
          })       
        );
  }

  // filter and return the values
 filter(val: string): Observable<any[]> {
    // call the service which makes the http-request
    return this.service.getData()
     .pipe(
       map(response => response.filter(option => { 
         return option.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(val.toLowerCase()) === 0
       }))
     )
   }  
}

http-. API, , .

opts = [];

getData() {
  return this.opts.length ?
    of(this.opts) :
    this.http.get<any>('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/users').pipe(tap(data => this.opts = data))
}

, , value . , [value].
