jhipster - Angular HttpClient calls with option {observe: 'response'}

JHipster generated Angular Services uses an option {observe: 'response'} for httpClient calls e.g.

this.httpClient.get<IEntity>(`${this.resourceUrl}/${id}`, { observe: 'response' })...

Is there any special reason to do this? Why do they want to receive the full response. (maybe some generic handling of headers or so...)

TIA

By default the HttpClient returns the body of the response. You can pass-in an object with an observe key set to a value of ‘response’ to get the full response. This can be useful to inspect for certain headers, for e.g:

getData() {
  this.http.get<Post>(this.url, { observe: 'response' }).subscribe(res => {
    this.powered = res.headers.get('X-Powered-By');
    this.postTitle = res.body.title;
  });
}
