Lazy property for http get request












0















I would like to create a lazy property in a service, meaning - I would like to have a (lets say) boolean member which should be initialized by a get request.
The property checks whether the member is already initialized:
1. If so - it returns the value or an observable of the value.
2. If not - the get request is executed, the member is being initialed and then the value (or an observable) is being rerturned.
this.getIsTrue is an http get request.
See my code in the service:



isTrue: boolean = null;
get IsTrue() : Observable<boolean> // It can return even boolean and not
observablle
{
if (this.isTrue!= null)
{
return of(this.ifTrue); // can return even boolean and not
observablle
}
else
{
this.getIsTrue().subscribe(result => {
this.isTrue = result;
return of(this.isTrue);});
}
}

          You can use tap if you need to make side-effects instead of subscribing to it:



          return this.getIsTrue().pipe(
          tap(result => this.isTrue = result),
          );
