How to synchronise Angular2 http get?

Question

I understand using observable I can execute a method when the request is completed, but how can i wait till a http get is completed and return the response using in ng2 http

I looked and I couldn't find any way to make an HTTP call sync instead of async.

So the only way around this: wrap your call in a while loop with a flag. Don't let the code continue until that flag has "continue" value.

Pseudo code as follows:

let letsContinue = false;

//Call your Async Function
this.myAsyncFunc().subscribe(data => {
   letsContinue = true;
}; 

while (!letsContinue) {
   console.log('... log flooding.. while we wait..a setimeout might be better');
}
