Q:

Angular 8: Using HttpClient.get.toPromise

From a service constructor, I want to call 2 HttpClient.get asynchronously.
When the constructor is completed, the 2 get requests have to be already completed. 

public async ReadConfiguration () 
  {
      await this.http.get ('http://localhost:80/api/Target.xml',{ responseType: 'text' })
        .toPromise()
        .then(res => console.log(res))
        .catch(err => { console.log ('error');
        });

      console.log ('line 25');

      await this.http.get ('http://localhost:80/api/Target.xml',{ responseType: 'text' })
        .toPromise()
        .then(res => console.log(res))
        .catch(err => { console.log ('error');
        });

      console.log ('line 32');
  }

  /*************************************************************************************/
  constructor(private http: HttpClient) {
    console.log ('-->constructor');
    this.ReadConfiguration ();
    console.log ('Done');
    console.log ('<--constructor');

  }

On the console I got:
-->constructor <br/>
Done <br/>
<--constructor <br/>

and only then (after few constructors are executed) I got the data. 
Can you please tell what is wrong in my code ?
Thank you in advance,

A:

The purpose of using the constructor is to create the component and to initiate the variables
In your case you are looking for what we called it a 'HOOK' as ngOnInit that is executed after the Constructor.
Please look at this :  Difference between Constructor and ngOnInit
And For the Synchronicity which may depends on the response time of your API i suggest you to make the two calls as a nested call, i mean one can be inside the other as bellow : 
await this.http.get ('http://localhost:80/api/Target.xml',{ responseType: 'text' })
        .toPromise()
        .then(res => {

 await this.http.get ('http://localhost:80/api/Target.xml',{ responseType: 'text' })
        .toPromise()
        .then(res => console.log(res))
        .catch(err => { console.log ('error');
        });

})
        .catch(err => { console.log ('error');
        });
