[FIXED] what is different at httpService.get and httpService.axiosRef.get @nestjs/axios?

Issue

I'm new to nestJS and RxJS and try to use axios for http request.

I noticed there're two options when using axios API.

1. using HttpService.get. it returns Observable and RxJS should be used together.
2. using HttpService.axiosRef.get. it returns Promise.

What is diff between 2 options??

ex) performance, catching error. etc.....

Thank you.

Solution

HttpService#get is the observable wrapped axios call. HttpService#axiosRef.get is the raw axios.get method, no observables added, just promises.

You can use either, just depends on your preference. You can also turn observables into a promise via lastValueFrom(observable) or a promise into an observable using from(promise)
