ModelServerClient.getAll() has compile-time type (string | string[]) but different runtime type (object).

[glsp-bot]

Checking the type of response.body returned by a call to the model server client API getAll() returns that the type is an 'object'. In contrast, the compile-time / API return type is 'string | string[]'. When I query the model server directly
using the browser URL 'http://localhost:8081/api/v1/models', I get a success response and 'response.data' contains
my model starting with its URI as the key.
Therefore my question is: how can I access the model data tree returned by the model server when using the ModelServerClient.getAll().

Hello @hoelzl-florian(hoelzl-florian) , thank you for reporting that! I can confirm that we have a wrong return type here. From the server we get a map from Model URI to EObject but that is not properly reflected in the API. I created an issue to track that: eclipse-emfcloud/emfcloud-modelserver-theia#20. I believe we should get a fix in sometime this week, early next week.

If you need the proper behavior in the meantime you can probably parse the returned string using Object.entries(response.data). That should give you an array of 'map entries'. If you want a proper map I believe you can also follow that up with a new Map(entries). I hope that this will help you, if not please let us know.
