What are the differences between using async pipe and subscribe in RxJS?

What are the differences between using async pipe and subscribe in RxJS?

The async pipe automatically subscribes to an Observable and handles unsubscription when the component is destroyed, while subscribe requires manual management of the subscription.

Can you give me an example of when to use async pipe?

Sure! Use async pipe in templates when you want to display data from an Observable directly in the HTML without extra code.

What about using subscribe? When is it more appropriate?

Use subscribe in your component class when you need to perform side effects or manipulate data before displaying it.

Are there performance implications between the two?

Yes, async pipe can be more efficient as it handles subscriptions automatically, reducing memory leaks and improving performance.

Can I use both in the same component?

Yes, you can use both in the same component, but it's best to choose one method per use case for clarity.
