Promise vs Observable difference


Promise vs Observable difference

Promise

  1. It resolves or reject a single value and can handle a single value async task at a time.
  2. A promise once resolved the async value it completes, can no longer be used.its just one-time use and here it falls short.
  3. Not cancellable
  4. No rxjs support for operators.

Observable

  1. ability to emit multiple asynchronous values.
  2. Used to handle the stream of events or values. Consider you have an array of numerous tasks or values, and you want every time value is inserted into this it should be handled automatically. Anytime you push a value into this array, all of its subscribers will receive the latest value automatically.
  3. Observables are useful for observing input changes, repeated interval, broadcast values to all child components, web socket push notifications etc.
  4. Can be canceled using the unsubscribe method anytime.
  5. One more last good part that promise that has is support for rxjs operators. You have many pipe operators majorly map, filter, switchMap, combine latest etc. to transform observable data before subscribing.

operation      observables Promise
creation
const obs= new Observable((observer) => {
    observer.next(5);
});

const promise= new Promise((resolve) => {
    resolve(5);
});
Subscribe
const sub= obs.subscribe(value => console.log(value));
promise.then(value => console.log(value));
unsubscribe
sub.unsubscribe();

Building Block of Angular

The main building blocks for Angular are modules, components, templates, metadata, data binding, directives, services, and dependency injection. Below mentioned are the main building blocks of an Angular application: - Modules  group components logically within the project. Angular basically is a modular framework where every block of functionality is encapsulated within a module and exposed outside within the project as a service. There are two types of modules one is encapsulating block of function within a single component and the other is encapsulating block of function within single or group of components by providing exposure in a unified manner via an interface. Components  help in controlling UI block and also it provides data and logic. It represents a unique "View" and "View Model" in MVVM pattern or exactly like what Controllers do in Angular 1. The "V...

JavaScript Closure

What is closure? It is my personal experience, I have never understood closure, I have read many articles & have seen many videos. Finally, I understood sometimes we even used a closure without realizing we were using a closure. First, understand the meaning of closure “an act or process of closing something”, now we can relate closure in javascript, closure is an inner function which wraps inside the outer function, which can access outer function scope & global function scope. for scoping you can read my previous blog:- http://uisource.blogspot.com/2018/08/javascript-variable-scoping.html why do we create? Global variables can be made local (private) with closures. To avoid the usage of global variables, use the local variables and wrap your code in the closure. A closure is an inner function that has access to the outer (enclosing) function’s variables—scope chain(Lexical scoping). The closure has three scope chains: it has access to its own scope (variables define...
