Doesn't the data act as an observer here?
No, in this scenario, the data represents the emitted value.
When subscribing to an observable, you can provide handlers for next, error, and complete.
For example:
someObservable$.subscribe(
next => console.log(`next value is: ${next}`),
err => console.log(`error is: ${err}`),
() => console.log('someObservable$ completed!)
);
In your case, only the first handler is provided in the subscribe() method. You can access the emitted value using the parameter name data:
this.authservice.registerform(form).subscribe(
data => {
// 'data' refers to the emitted value
this.ifsuccess = true;
this.timer = setInterval(() => {
this.router.navigate(['']);
}, 1200);
}
);
If you need to handle completion or error, you can provide the other handlers as well:
this.authservice.registerform(form).subscribe(
data => {
// 'data' refers to the emitted value
this.ifsuccess = true;
this.timer = setInterval(() => {
this.router.navigate(['']);
}, 1200);
},
error => console.log('error occurred!'),
() => console.log('registerform call completed')
);
Alternatively, you can pass a complete observer object to the subscribe() method instead of individual handler methods:
const myObserver = {
next: val => console.log(`next val: ${next}`),
error: error => console.log(`error: ${error}`),
complete: () => console.log('complete!')
};
someObserver$.subscribe(myObserver);
