I'm developing an Angular application where I manage a User Profile page. This page displays user information and the user's wishlist, among other things.
The user can add, delete, or update wishes. Whenever these operations are performed, they are followed by fetching the updated user profile from the server using an Observable (userProfile$), which is supposed to update the UI.
But the problem is that everytime i'm passing a update, delete method, the full page is reloading and i can't find why.
Do anyone have an idea of why it's not working well ?
The get user profile method is fetching the whole user element, could this be related ?
Here's my code of how I'm doing this:
//User informations and password handling variables
profileForm!: FormGroup;
public userProfile$?: Observable<any>;
passwordUpdateSuccess = false;
profileUpdateSuccess = false;
public groupDetails?: any;
//Wish handling variables and functions
wishes: any[] = [];
public showUpdateForm: boolean = false;
updateWishForm!: FormGroup;
showUpdateFormFor: string | null = null;
//Handling wish filtering
public originalWishes: any[] = [];
public filterForm!: FormGroup;
ngOnInit(): void {
//Handling wishes
this.wishListService.secretSantaService.wishesSubject.subscribe(wishes => {
this.wishes = wishes;
});
this.updateWishForm = this.formBuilder.group({
title: ['', Validators.required],
url: ['', Validators.required],
description: ['', Validators.required],
price: ['', Validators.required],
});
// Fetch the user profile and update the relevant fields
this.userProfile$ = this.userService.getUserProfile();
// Update form and wishes when userProfile$ emits a new value
this.userProfile$.pipe(
tap(userProfile => {
this.profileForm.patchValue(userProfile);
this.wishes = userProfile.wishList;
this.originalWishes = userProfile.wishList;
})
).subscribe();
//Initialize the filter form control
this.filterForm = this.formBuilder.group({
minPrice: [''],
maxPrice: ['']
});
//Adding a time between each key put in the filter form to avoid too many requests
this.filterForm.valueChanges
.pipe(debounceTime(500))
.subscribe((filterValues) => this.filterWishes(filterValues));
}
addWish(wish: any) {
this.wishListService.addWishToUserWishList(wish).subscribe({
next: (newWish) => {
this.updateWishForm.reset();
this.showUpdateFormFor = null;
if (this.userProfile$)
this.userProfile$.subscribe(userProfile => {
this.updateAndFilterWishes(userProfile.wishList);
});
},
error: error => {
console.error(error);
}
});
}
submitUpdate(wishId: string) {
const updatedWish = this.updateWishForm.value;
this.wishListService.updateWishFromUserWishlist(wishId, updatedWish).subscribe({
next: updatedWish => {
this.showUpdateFormFor = null;
if (this.userProfile$)
this.userProfile$.subscribe(userProfile => {
this.updateAndFilterWishes(userProfile.wishList);
});
},
error: error => {
console.error(error);
}
});
}
deleteWish(wishId: string) {
this.wishListService.deleteWishFromUserWishlist(wishId).subscribe({
next: _ => {
this.showUpdateFormFor = null;
if (this.userProfile$)
this.userProfile$.subscribe(userProfile => {
this.updateAndFilterWishes(userProfile.wishList);
});
},
error: error => {
console.error(error);
}
});
}
getUserProfile(): void {
this.userService.getUserProfile().subscribe({
next: data => {
this.ngZone.run(() => {
if (this.profileForm)
this.profileForm.patchValue({
firstName: data.firstName,
lastName: data.lastName,
email: data.email,
dateOfBirth: data.dateOfBirth
});
});
console.log("data: ", data);
},
error: error => {
console.error(error);
return throwError(error);
}
});
}
Also, here the html :
<button mat-raised-button color="primary" (click)="openAddWishDialog()">Add Wish</button>
<!-- Update wishlist -->
<div class="flex items-center justify-center " *ngIf="userProfile$ | async as userProfile">

Alright, i found the problem.
Solution :
I had a controller that was used to call every elements from a user, and i linked my wishlist to the exact same observable, which was causing this ... interaction
Other :
So, i've decided to make my code more maintainable (thanks @akop !) and to have a separation of needs. Which led to a brand new component, not bothered by the other, keep it simple !
