deserialize arrays

I tried to deserialize an array of items like this:

this.authHttp.get('/items')
  .map(response => deserialize(Item[], response.json()))
  .catch(this.handleError)
  .subscribe(data => console.log(data));

But the compiler didn’t like it. How can I fix this?

@Geschan for now the first parameter of the deserialize method accept object. I will consider your case and add this feature soon.

You could try something like

this.authHttp.get('/items')
  .map(response => response.json().map(item => deserialize(Item, item)))
  .catch(this.handleError)
  .subscribe(data => console.log(data));
