How would i return success from Save()
method.
public SaveItem() {
if(save()){ // The goal is to use save method like this
// Close pop up;
}
public SaveAndNew() {
if(save()){ // The goal is to use save method like this
// Create new item;
}
private save() {
let issuccess = false;
this.myservice.AddParty(newUserObject)
.subscribe(data => {
if (data['status'].toString() === '1') {
return issuccess = false;
} else {
return issuccess = true;
}
},
(er) => {
return issuccess = false;
});
}
- If i have
save(): boolean
it will throw error that Must return a value
if return issuccess
outside the subscribe it will always return a false value.
How would i await the save function and return a specific value based on response ?
I have read about callbacks and its seems to be not elegant, Is there any elegant way to do this
callbacks-vs-promises-vs-rxjs-vs-async-awaits
If its a C# i would do this
var isSuccess = await SaveAsync(party);
you can make your save method return an observable of boolean value
public SaveAndNew() {
this.save().subscribe(success =>
{
if(success)
{
// Create new item;
}
});
private save() : Observable<boolean> {
return this.myservice
.AddParty(newUserObject)
.map(data=> data['status'].toString() === '1')
.catch(err => Observable.of(false));
}
How about something like this:
public SaveItem() {
const isNew = false;
save(isNew)
}
public SaveAndNew() {
const isNew = true;
save(isNew)
}
private save(isNew) {
this.myservice.AddParty(newUserObject)
.subscribe(data => {
if (data['status'].toString() === '1') {
saveComplete(isNew);
} else {
saveFailed(isNew)
}
},
(er) => {
saveFailed(isNew)
});
}
saveComplete(isNew) {
// Check isNew as needed.
// Close dialog or whatever
}
saveFailed(isNew) {
// do whatever here
}
Or ... TypeScript now supports async/await ... so you could consider using them here. See this for more information: https://medium.com/@benlesh/rxjs-observable-interop-with-promises-and-async-await-bebb05306875
In this case you can use promise
instead of subscribe
. But while binding the data into html, then you should go with async pipe
So, your service would be like
AddParty(newUserObject) {
return this.http.post(url)
.toPromise().then(responce => <any[]>responce.json())
.catch(error => {
return error;
});
}
and retrieve that looks like
this.myservice.AddParty(newUserObject)
.then(data => {
if (data['status'].toString() === '1') {
return issuccess = false;
} else {
return issuccess = true;
}
},
(er) => {
return issuccess = false;
});
}
try it like
public SaveItem() {
if(save()){ // The goal is to use save method like this
// Close pop up;
}
public SaveAndNew() {
if(save()){ // The goal is to use save method like this
// Create new item;
}
private async save() {
let issuccess = false;
await this.myservice.AddParty(newUserObject)
.subscribe(data => {
if (data['status'].toString() === '1') {
return issuccess = false;
} else {
return issuccess = true;
}
},
(er) => {
return issuccess = false;
});
return issuccess ;
}
We have another action parameter in subscribe() after er action that will help you to return without using observable.
public SaveItem() {
if(save()){ // The goal is to use save method like this
// Close pop up;
}
public SaveAndNew() {
if(save()){ // The goal is to use save method like this
// Create new item;
}
private save() {
let issuccess = false;
this.myservice.AddParty(newUserObject)
.subscribe(data => {
if (data['status'].toString() === '1') {
issuccess = false;
} else {
issuccess = true;
}
},
(er) => {
issuccess = false;
},
() => {return issuccess });
}
Subsribe 3 paramters
subscribe(next?: (value: T) => void, error?: (error: any) => void, complete?: () => void):
