What's the best way to prevent errors in console from objects that are still undefined?
Let's say I have this
name : string;
constructor(private data: DataService) {
this.data.name.subscribe(res => this.name = res);
}
Inside my html I have this
<p> {{name}}</p>
When I load the page I get _co.name
is not defined, but the page still shows the value of name
. The component is loading before getting the data I suppose.
What's the best approach to prevent this?
I saw ngIf
is not null
or something like that, is an option. But then I saw something about Resolve.
Multiple ways: You can use any one suitable to you.
1. Adding ngIf : If name
is undefined
or null
or ''
it will not render the element and prevent errors in console. When name
gets defined value it will automatically update the view.
*ngIf="name"
2. Adding async pipe : View will update whenever name
gets defined. It waits for name
to get defined.
{{ name | async }}
3. Adding fallback value : This is simply or
condition. If name
is undefined
or null
or ''
, you can decide which fallback value to assign .
{{ name || "" }}
Just initialize your variable
name : string = "";
or you can do it inside of the constructor
this.name = "";
