Angular component returns undefined

Question

I have a service file that returns two functions with API and array data. Inside a component in the constructor I initiate a service and try to retrieve data onInit in the component, first API function returns and console.log the data without a problem, but the second function getRatings() returns undefined in console.log. Why?

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';
import 'rxjs/Rx';


@Injectable()
export class ProductService{
  result:any;
  ratings:any;
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
    getProducts() {
        return this.http.get('https://min-api.cryptocompare.com/data/pricemulti?fsyms=BTC,ETH,IOT,TRX&tsyms=USD').map(result => this.result = result);
      }
    getRatings() {
           return
           [
            {

export class CryptoComponent {
  objectKeys = Object.keys;
cryptos: any;
ratings: any;

constructor(private _data: ProductService) {

}

ngOnInit() {
  this._data.getProducts()

      this.cryptos = res;
      console.log(res);
    });
  this.ratings = this._data.getRatings();
    console.log(this.ratings);


}

    onClick($event){
      console.log("Clicked",$event)
    }
}

Answer 1

At the beginning of your getRatings service method, change:

getRatings() {
  return
  [
  // ...

to:

getRatings() {
  return [
  // ...

Explanation : semicolons are implicit on line end in some cases. In your case, your code is interpreted as just return; and the following code is ignored.
