At this point, it is safe to assume that most Angular developers know about the following syntax. That’s how we subscribe to an Observable to receive its data:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve been reading this newsletter for long enough, you already know that there are better ways to subscribe to Observables<\/a> and that there are no excuses for not using these techniques<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That said, it’s always good to know about all our available options. So here is another possible syntax:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The above syntax registers three different callback functions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • The first one is the same as in our first example – this is where the Observable data goes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The second one is an error handler. Any exception thrown by the Observable would get caught by that callback.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The third callback function is invoked when the Observable completes, which means it won’t emit any more value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Note that while that syntax still works (for now), it has been deprecated in favor of a more explicit syntax, where an object is passed. Each callback is attached to a named property, making the purpose of these callbacks more obvious:<\/p>\n\n\n
