I'm trying to subscribe to an Observable and assign some data from the response, but somehow my code it's not waiting for the response. Basically the console.log(this.newIds) is runned first and is always empty because the subscribe doesn't wait for response to come from the backend. How I can force my code to wait for the response to come?
this.repository.getById(Ids).subscribe((response) => {
console.log(response);
this.newIds = response.map((id) => {
return id;
});
});
console.log(this.newIds);
You can do like this..
your component file like below
newIds: Observable<any> = of(this.id).pipe(
concatMap((id) =>
this.getId(id).pipe(map((data) => data.map((rowId) => rowId.id)))
)
);
getId(id: any) {
return of([{ id: 1 }, { id: 2 }, { id: 3 }]);
}
your html file like below, and use async pipe for subscription. here you can use concateMap pipe rxjs operator to sequentially calling observable and then assing value to your newId varible.
<pre>
{{ newIds | async }}
</pre>

If you put the code in the subscribe callback. It will execute after your receive a response from the back-end. All code you write outside this function is directly execute.
this.repository.getById(Ids).subscribe((response) => {
//Code will execute when back-end will respond
console.log(response);
this.newIds = response.map((id) => {
return id;
});
console.log(this.newIds);
});
//Code will execute immediately

This is the normal behaviour because your console.log(this.newIds); is outside of the subscription, you just need to move it inside the .subscribe() method:
this.repository.getById(Ids).subscribe((response) => {
console.log(response);
this.newIds = response.map((id) => {
return id;
});
console.log(this.newIds);
});
if you want to use this.newIds outside the subscription and immediately after the result of the observer you can use RxJs .toPromise() to use it as a promise and change the method to async:
async callerFn(){
const response = await this.repository.getById(Ids).toPromise();
this.newIds = response.map((id) => {
return id;
});
console.log(this.newIds);
// use your property here
}
