Handling 401s globally with Angular

Question

In my Angular 2 project I make API calls from services that return an Observable. The calling code then subscribes to this observable. For example:

getCampai

Angular >4.3: ErrorHandler for the base service

protected handleError(err: HttpErrorResponse | any) {
    console.log('Error global service');
    console.log(err);
    let errorMessage: string = '';

    if (err.hasOwnProperty('status')) { // if error has status
        if (environment.httpErrors.hasOwnProperty(err.status)) {
            // predefined errors
            errorMessage = environment.httpErrors[err.status].msg; 
        } else {
            errorMessage = `Error status: ${err.status}`;
            if (err.hasOwnProperty('message')) {
                errorMessage += err.message;
            }
        }
     }

    if (errorMessage === '') {
        if (err.hasOwnProperty('error') && err.error.hasOwnProperty('message')) { 
            // if error has status
            errorMessage = `Error: ${err.error.message}`;
        }
     }

    // no errors, then is connection error
    if (errorMessage === '') errorMessage = environment.httpErrors[0].msg; 

    // this.snackBar.open(errorMessage, 'Close', { duration: 5000 }});
    console.error(errorMessage);
    return Observable.throw(errorMessage);
}
