getting variable data outside subscribe method

发布于 2020-03-31 22:53:07

I am trying to implement canActivate for user routes, before that I want to check whether the access token is still valid or not. Therefore I implement something like this

export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
  data:Array<Object>;
  constructor(private base: BaseService){}

  canActivate(
    next: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
    state: RouterStateSnapshot): boolean {

    var session: any = { token: localStorage.getItem('abc') };   

    this.base.valid(session).subscribe(result => {
      this.data=result;
      console.log(this.data); <-- first 
    });

    console.log(this.data); <-- second
    return true;
  }
}

here I can get the data variable inside the subscribe method when I console it but outside this method is give undefined value. How can I access it outside the method.

This wont be possible. Reason being, you are trying to render a value whose value is continuously changed by Observable.

Now, when you are trying to read outside console.log, you get undefined as the value is yet to be set by Observable streams. Now, when the value is changed ( lets say after 1 sec ), the outer console.log has already been executed and so you wont see any changes of the this.data

To make monitor the change in it's value, put the function call in the subscribe block itself.
