How to execute something after subscribe in angular

Question

I want to return a boolean value ,but the variable in the "if" condition is undefined.

function() {
    this.menuDataService.getMenu()
      .subscribe(res => {
       this.mainMenus = res.MainMenus;
       console.log(this.mainMenus);
    });

    console.log(this.mainMenus);

    if(this.mainMenus == 1){
       return true;
    }
    else {
      return false;
    }
}

Once you start using observables you have to work within the chained set of methods off of the observable. In your case you could do something like this:

function InnerFunc(){
  return this.menuDataService.getMenu()
  .map(res => {
    if(res.mainMenus == 1){
     return true;
    }
    else{
     return false;
    }
  )
}

function OuterFunc() {
  InnerFunc()
  .subscribe(result =>{
      // will be either true or false
      console.log(result);
  });    
}
