I'm wondering if I can make just a http post request without subscribing on callbacks, something like this
this._http.post('/list/items/update?itemId=' + itemId + "&done=" + done, null);
instead of this
this._http.post('/list/items/update?itemId=' + itemId + "&done=" + done, null)
.subscribe();
I do not think you can.
http.post (and get, put, delete, etc) returns a cold Observable, i.e. an Observable for which:
its underlying producer is created and activated during subscription
This means the function represented by the Observable
is activated only with the subscribe()
method.
