How to wait for a function to finish its execution in angular 2.?
<p>Below is my code, I want <code>login()</code> and <code>authenticated()</code> functions to wait for <code>getProfile()</code> function to finish its execution. I tried several ways like promise etc. but I couldn't implement it. Please suggest me the solution.</p>

<pre><code>import { Injectable }      from '@angular/core';
import { tokenNotExpired } from 'angular2-jwt';
import { myConfig }        from './auth.config';

// Avoid name not found warnings
declare var Auth0Lock: any;

@Injectable()
export class Auth {
  // Configure Auth0
  lock = new Auth0Lock(myConfig.clientID, myConfig.domain, {
    additionalSignUpFields: [{
      name: "address",                              // required
      placeholder: "enter your address",            // required
      icon: "https://example.com/address_icon.png", // optional
      validator: function(value) {                  // optional
        // only accept addresses with more than 10 chars
        return value.length &gt; 10;
      }
    }]
  });

  //Store profile object in auth class
  userProfile: any;

  constructor() {
    this.getProfile();  //I want here this function to finish its work
  }


  getProfile() {
    // Set userProfile attribute if already saved profile
    this.userProfile = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('profile'));

    // Add callback for lock `authenticated` event
    this.lock.on("authenticated", (authResult) =&gt; {
      localStorage.setItem('id_token', authResult.idToken);

      // Fetch profile information
      this.lock.getProfile(authResult.idToken, (error, profile) =&gt; {
        if (error) {
          // Handle error
          alert(error);
          return;
        }

        profile.user_metadata = profile.user_metadata || {};
        localStorage.setItem('profile', JSON.stringify(profile));
        this.userProfile = profile;
      });
    });
  };

  public login() {
    this.lock.show();
    this.getProfile();  //I want here this function to finish its work
  };

  public authenticated() {
    this.getProfile();  //I want here this function to finish its work
    return tokenNotExpired();
  };

  public logout() {
    // Remove token and profile from localStorage
    localStorage.removeItem('id_token');
    localStorage.removeItem('profile');
    this.userProfile = undefined;
  };
}
