title: Storing JSON Object in variable with Angular 2
body: <p>I am using an HTTP GET request to retrieve some JSON code from my server. I store the JSON data in a variable. The JSON data only has two objects, minutes and seconds. Both objects are changing in value constantly (the JSON represents a timer). My problem is, if I interpolate the value in the HTML template, it comes out perfect! But if I try to console.log the JSON data, or store it into an array, it gives me either null, or Array, with no data in it. </p>
  
  <pre><code>this.timeService.fetchTime().subscribe(
      (data) =&gt; this.timeArray = data);
  console.log(this.timeService);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is the service that retrieves my JSON data, and stores it into an already declared variable timeArray = [ ]. If I use {{timeArray.minutes}} in my HTML code, it shows up fine. How do I store timeArray.minutes into a local variable in my code?</p>
