Angular · Junior · Question 61 of 75

Why doesn't `this.http.get('/api/users')` send any request?

✓Correct answer: HTTP Observables are cold - the request starts only when something subscribes (e.g. subscribe() or the async pipe)
2HttpClient batches requests until the page is idle
3GET requests must be enabled in angular.json

Explanation

Each subscription sends a new request. That's why two async pipes on the same Observable can trigger two calls.
