Setting value to nested object not working in angular

Question

I'm new to Angular and TypeScript so appologies if this is a stupid question. I'm trying to save the value of a returned object to a nested property in an object of type any. However, its not allowing me so could anyone enlighten me on my error.

  sharedData:any;

  constructor(private menuService: MenuService) { }

  addToBasket(item:any): void {
    this.sharedData.basketList.push(item);
  }

  ngOnInit() {
    this.sharedData.menu = this.menuService.getMenu();
  }

It works fine when I have it as this.menu = this.menuService.getMenu();

sharedData is not initialized with anything. from your code I would expect it to be

 sharedData:any = {
  basketList: []
 };

at least the lines you provided would run well and data would be stored in sharedData
