How to get true/false from NbAuthService.isAuthenticated()

Hi all,
I would like to ask how I can get true/false from NbAuthService.isAuthenticated()? The problem now is it always returns the Observable so my if() is always true even I haven't logged-in yet (suppose false if haven't logged-in yet)

if (this.nbAuthService.isAuthenticated()) { console.log('run here2'); return true; }
Best regards

@dzungdev as this is observable, you need to subscribe to it and move your if statement into the subscribe callback:

this.nbAuthService.isAuthenticated().subscribe((result) => {
  if (result) { ... }
})

Please note, isAuthenticated is executed only one time on subscribe, if you need to listen to the token change, consider using onAuthenticationChange.

Hi @nnixaa , thank you very much for your helping.

Hey @nnixaa isAuthenticated() is never returning true or false.
It return the token value (a string for example) or null.
It comes from token && token.getValue() which not produce a boolean but the right part if the first is not null.

Is it the normal behavior ?

Hey @gael-ft, yep you right, this is clearly a bug, we'll fix it soon.
