Question

What is an observer in AngularJS?

Answer 1

43. Observer is an interface for a consumer of push-based notifications delivered by an Observable. It has below structure,

    interface Observer<T> {
      closed?: boolean;
      next: (value: T) => void;
      error: (err: any) => void;
      complete: () => void;
    }

    A handler that implements the Observer interface for receiving observable notifications will be passed as a parameter for observable as below,

    myObservable.subscribe(myObserver);

    Note: If you don't supply a handler for a notification type, the observer ignores notifications of that type.
